A convert to Islam stands an election victory away from becoming the second Muslim elected to Congress and a role model for a faith community seeking to make its mark in national politics.
Political newcomer Andre Carson is the Democratic nominee in a March 11 special election to succeed his late grandmother, Julia Carson, representing Indiana's 7th District. She died in December of lung cancer, and her grandson is seeking to fill out the rest of her sixth term, which expires at year's end.
If Andre Carson wins the Democratic-leaning Indianapolis district over a freshman Republican legislator and a long shot Libertarian candidate, he would join Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., as the only Muslims elected to Congress.

>The prisons are the worst and most dangerous of the converts.
It seems to me it’s a “gang” mentality.<
It must be a gang mentality, because in prison, you’d think a person would have lots of time to educate themselves, wouldn’t they?
>There are twenty total, and they have achieved ALL twenty of them!<
Yes. They have operated exactly like the Marxists who infiltrated before them. I have been trying to determine lately if they have been hand in hand with the Marxists from day one though.
Scary.
But many are so filled with anger and hatred that converting to islam gives them power to act on their hatred "legally".
Pray for America, for we need a free nation, under God.

Isn’t it interesting that almost ALL Muslims vote Democrat?
Islam hates the values and immorality of the West, yet they align themselves with the secular, degenerate pro abortion, pro homosexual, pro immorality Democrats. They are full of contradictions and hypocrisy, but there is no explanation, other then they KNOW the leftists are their allies and will help them turn this Country into an islamic state!
Oh great, just great...
Yes. Islamists and democrats working together for diversity and multiculturalism.
All that crap about bridging divides, bipartisanism, reaching across the aisle, inclusiveness and tolerance is a feel-good disguise for the pure evil that lurks beneath.
Best thing we can do is be wary, safe, armed and praying for our nation’s survival daily.

Sen. Evan Bayh joined Andre Carson for an education rally in front of a couple-dozen supporters at the Westin in Indianapolis.
The event put the focus on reform in the classroom, fixing what Carson called shortcomings in the "No Child Left Behind" act.
It was also an opportunity for Bayh to embrace Carson in hopes of making sure the district remains in the hands of Democrats in the March 11 election.
Catch you tomorrow Fred!
