A Detroit-area newspaper says the results of Tuesday's primary could lead to Hamtramck, Michigan, becoming the first city council in the U.S. to be controlled by Muslims.
The Detroit News says there are four Muslims in the Tuesday primary. If they are among the candidates who win and go on to run in the November election, they would have a chance to join a fifth Muslim who already sits on the six-member council and is up for re-election in 2009.
Hamtramck -- historically a refuge for Catholic immigrants mostly from Poland and Ukraine -- was at the center of a controversy three years ago over an initiative allowing amplified calls to prayer from the city's mosques.

You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile...
You'll know when they've taken over when they change the name.
Prayers for your husband’s job, Rose. Of course he’s discouraged. But it WILL work out. It’s happened to many a good man.
Courtesy of our bloated, bumbling, bungling, incompetent and corrupt federal government which cares nothing for the national sovereignty of the United States.
HORRIFIC
We’re in a pickle, but half the people don’t even know they’re marinating in the juice.
I’m afraid that’s quite right...
This could actually be a good thing. Once these clowns start using Sharia law or the Koran to base government decisions on, or start renaming streets after martyrs, perhaps people will start to wake up to the dangers of complacence. Better to have the wake up call happen at the city level of government somewhere than the State congress or senate, or God forbid, at the federal level.
Remember associating London with Big Ben, the queen (not Elton) and all that the culture offers? Paris with the Eiffel Tower, French cuisine and culture? Those days are gone. I saw that coming, (really) and you're right it's going to happen for us also.
This is a horrible watershed moment. The muslims in our country will be out of control soon.
I don’t understand this at all. It’s almost like they are more welcomed and beloved by some in this country AFTER 9/11.
The enemy of the USA is the DNC and liberals.
That's so true. It's getting beyond frightening. At least for the twenty some years before 9/11, most of us knew who the common enemy was. Now, it's not pc to look at anyone suspiciously if he's a Muslim! And we are supposed to allow them to run ramshod over us? Between the illegal aliens (mostly from one region) and the Muslims (mostly from one region), our towns are getting overrun.
Wait until entire districts are controlled by our dual nationality friends from the South who aren’t even going to be US citizens. That’s when we’ll see if we are enjoying the New World Order.
Yes :(
Who else wants to bet on whether or not the ACLU will come to the defense of the Muslims if and when they demand Sharia law be accepted in that city?
I wonder if they’ll let me get a color-coordinated burqua.
/BLECK
She should have hugged them all. Can you imagine what the husbands would say if they came home and announced that they held a Jew in their arms today.
