First Muslim Elected in Congress -


The First Stone was put by Democrat Keith Ellison
in changing of history of America..........
Democrat Keith Ellison, from Minnesota, became the first Muslim elected to Congress
----------------------------------- -------------------
Keith Ellison (Democratic-Farmer-Labor) ........ 55.48 percent
Alan Fine (Republican) ........ 21.49 percent
Tammy Lee (Independence) ........ 20.95 percent

................................... ..................................
Ellison, the first Muslim ever elected to Congress and the first black representative from Minnesota, led Republican Alan Fine with about 55 percent of the vote as of 11:39 p.m. This was the first run for Congress for Fine, a lecturer at the Carlson School of Management, who received about 21 percent of votes
Fine ran a sometimes-controversial campaign against Ellison, accusing him of past ties to leaders of the Nation of Islam and criticizing Ellison for accepting campaign contributions from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which allegedly supports terrorist organization Hamas.

not really, totally expected. the fact that he was black and a muslim was just too much for them. Anyways, i hope he represents the muslims and general population well.
