interesting isn’t it that Minnesota Minneapolis has such strong Muslim "open-minded" leftist conclaves that an African-American Muslim could be elected to Congress...

Fixed it.

Not quite: conclaves enclaves (1. A country or part of a country lying wholly within the boundaries of another. 2. A distinctly bounded area enclosed within a larger unit: ethnic enclaves in a large city.)http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Enclaves

found this in the Star Tribune:

WASHINGTON - Minnesota Democrat Keith Ellison will go before a House panel on homegrown Islamic terrorism later this week, but he won’t be sitting with fellow members of Congress.

He’ll be at the witness table.

Ellison, a Muslim whose Minneapolis district has been fertile recruitment ground for Al-Shabab insurgents in Somalia, calls the GOP-led inquiry a “McCarthyistic” witch hunt that could demonize Muslims. As a star witness in the hearing, Ellison will be spotlighted nationally as the face of American Muslims.

Probably not many Somalis to put Ellison in office...but plenty of communists/Leftists/progressives/whatever.
