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.

Can you do this photo up to be “Men In Black”?
As A Christian I am tought to try and convert someone two times and if he refuses to not talk about it again, or ie don’t cast perals before swine.
As for Muslims it is covert them or kill them, it really doesn’t matter.
The greatest ignorance about the Islamic faith is had by its followers. One look at the Islamic world, and its ignorance is painfully obvious to any honest soul. A boarding school for little girls burns down in Saudi Arabia, and the staff got the little girls out in their night clothes. The Islam police came along, and made the little girls walk right back into the fire and burn up. What a story Islam told about itself that night. The story passed with little notice. An atrocity as bad as any ever heard of in Nazi Germany, and the world ignored it because it was an Islamic story. And we wonder how men can pour gasoline on other men, and burn them alive. They do it to their own children.
I did some reading tonight and found Muslims voted overwhelmingly for President Bush in 2000, whoa.
72 percent for Bush, 8 percent for Gore and 19 percent for Nader.
Particularly in Dearborn which was normally Dem territory.
I looked up some other numbers...around 76-77% (some sources differ from around 63% to 80%) of Arab Americans are Christian..I think this number has gone down in the past 10-12 years. I read a report back in the mid nineties that it was around 83%-84%. : )
Heh, actually wasn’t one of his wives Jewish? I seem to remember reading that somewhere. Of course you’d be risking a lot if you drew a picture of that.
No Islam will never “take over” the United States. Never! Europe on the other hand...
That’s true, but has completely reversed since 9-11.
I just started looking at the 2004 numbers, one poll says 93% for Kerry!
Wow that’s even more extreme than I thought!
Yep. And it is past time to get out the cannons
Where is "The Hammer" when we really need him?

He went democrat, decided to “reason with” or surrender to the more determined force.
He was turned into a ham sandwich, indicted and removed from the House of Representatives. Too bad...we need strong Christians in CONgress.
Like the Russians for so long, they will bury us in due time, in more then one way.
