Democrat Poised to Become First Muslim in Congress By NEIL MacFARQUHAR
MINNEAPOLIS — Keith Ellison, the Democratic candidate for Congress here, strode among the stalls of exotically printed fabric, telephone cards and sweet tea at a Somali mall, shaking hands with his fellow Muslims.
“The community showed up big!” Mr. Ellison, 43, said, dispensing hugs as he thanked the many immigrant Somalis whose votes had helped him beat six other candidates in a primary race in September.
Mr. Ellison, a stocky criminal defense lawyer who converted to Islam in college, is expected by experts to make history on Election Day by becoming the first Muslim elected to Congress, as well as the first black representative from Minnesota.
“If he wins, he will take the oath of office on a Koran,” Ali Ahmed, a social services worker, said as he wandered through the Karmel Square mall, a popular shopping and social destination for Somali immigrants.
“Our main concern is that Muslims are treated differently from Christians,” Mr. Ahmed said. “So he can show that we are all the same people.”

Ah heck--- he's just an innocent Minneso"taliban"...
How long do you think it will be before he changes his name to Abu Muhammed Un-American al-Skyhook?
Oh, please.
You know fully well he'll get a "special room" and Muslims will come out of the woodwork and talk about how REPRESSED they are on Capitol Hill.
Yea, you are most likely right. He will get a mosque for all those infidels he is going to convert. Who knows it might take him no time at all since he is half-way there with the Dems.
and yet the New York Times has no problem with
a KKK level democrat...
He is linked to the Nation Of Islam (Farrakhan).
So I guess the story should read " Keith Ellison Hakim (Real last name) is poised to become the first Nation Of Islam member of Congress."
That's even more scary.
They already said he was a rat earlier in the article.
Just what we need is a muslim trying to make laws in our country. will his legislative agenda be dependent on fatwahs and clerics?
That is just not right. Taking the oath of office on that book of medieval theocracy? This will be a real conflict of interest.
Yes. A devoted follower of Louis Farrakhan.
Keith Ellison with his wife Kim, the Democratic candidate for Congress.
The Enemy Within™, slithers onward.
Democrat. In this district, the only contest is between the leftist Democrats, the far leftist Democrats, and the so-far-left-they-Hilary-is-a-despicable-moderate Democrats.
They say that in the still of the early morning hours, you can hear the humming sound of Hubert Humphrey spinning in his grave like a high-speed lathe.
ROTFLMAO.... I wish he would like this because this will ensure his defeat no matter how stupidly liberal the district is.
Which is why he's popular in Minneapolis.
Where I live, we call Minneapolis "Enemy Territory," and we're only half-kidding. We only go there when we absolutely must, which isn't often, and when we do drive there, we roll up the windows and lock the doors.
And lately we've only been going there in my husband's beat-up old SUV, because I got tired of having my car keyed, presumably because of its Republican bumper stickers.
This guy is about as muslim as the Westboro nuts are baptist. He is a member of the Nation Of Islam. Not part of the wider Islamist faith. They do not accept these black separtists that believe in a mother ship as muslims. But hey this is the MSM so they will not tell the truth.
