First Muslim city council: Portrait of a changing Michigan city

The city of Hamtramck, Mich., is the first city in America to elect a Muslim-majority city council. The vote reflects the shifting demographic trends in America.

By Henry Gass 9 hours ago

The election of a majority-Muslim city council in a Detroit-area town illustrates the growth of a young, Westernized generation of Muslim-Americans in the US.

It's a generation of American Muslims trying to retain the values of previous generations while establishing itself in a country that still exhibits some Islamophobic sentiments stemming from the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

For most of its history, Hamtramck, Mich., was a Polish city, but in recent decades it became increasingly Muslim. In 2013, it became the first city in America to have a majority Muslim population, with most immigrants coming from Yemen, Bangladesh, and Bosnia. And last week, it elected a majority-Muslim city council – Muslims now occupy four of the six council seats – likely the first American city to do so. Karen Majewski, the city's mayor, is of Polish descent. Recommended: Sunni and Shiite Islam: Do you know the difference? Take our quiz. In many ways the new council members epitomize the modern struggles of this young generation of Muslim-Americans. As candidates they were associated with terrorism and saw their citizenship questioned, the Standard Daily reported. After the election, they stressed that their faith will not define their work. "I'm a very good Muslim," said Abu Musa, an immigrant from Bangladesh who was re-elected to the council, in an interview with the Detroit Free Press. "But when I get elected, every single [ethnicity] votes for me, not [only] the Muslims vote for me, but Christians, every single ethnic group."

"I represent every single citizen in Hamtramck," he added. "I'm serving all the city of Hamtramck."

Balancing their faith with their desire to integrate into mainstream American life is a defining struggle for many young Muslims. Fifty-nine percent of Muslim-Americans are between the ages of 18 and 39, the fastest growing demographic in the Muslim-American population. But as they assert themselves politically in towns across the country, they also run into occasional reminders of anti-Muslim sentiment that has persisted in the country since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Last year, The Christian Science Monitor’s Lee Lawrence reported that many of this generation of young Muslims "are as culturally American as the 37 percent of adult Muslims who … were born here and are, in turn, raising American-born children."

Mr. Lawrence added:

Nevertheless, the perception of Muslim as "other" – and a dangerous or suspicious other, at that – persists, stoked by post-9/11 insecurities. One of the reasons is that most Americans know little about Islam and, in many cases, don't know a Muslim personally. When they do, stereotypes fall away, revealing a diverse and dynamic population that is doing what Americans have historically done: figuring out how to be themselves.

Gallup recently reported that, while Islamophobia existed in the US "in premise" before the 9/11 attacks it increased in frequency and notoriety in the decade after. There has been a decline in Islamophobia in America since 2010, according to a 2013 report from the Council on American Islamic Relations, but some recent incidents indicate that prejudice still exists.

In September, for example, a Muslim high school student was arrested after bringing a homemade clock to school that was mistaken for a bomb. A local Islamic leader blamed the arrest on political leaders creating a "climate of fear."

Such prejudice appears to be fading in Hamtramck, where locals are discovering that Muslim city councilors can accomplish just as much for the city as any other councilor.

Bill Meyer, a Hamtramck community leader who isn’t Muslim, told the Detroit Free Press that Muslims in the city have "helped bring stability, security and sobriety while lessening the amount of drugs and crime in the city." "Hamtramck has made history," he added.

Sounds like a road trip!:)

"A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.” ― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Election Jihad: 3 Muslims Charged With Election Fraud in Seeking to Take Over Detroit Suburb By Debbie Schlussel

Last week, I told you about Muslim attempts to take over Hamtramck, Michigan, a/k/a “Hamtramckstan,” via ballot and election fraud. As I’ve noted over the years, Hamtramck went from a largely Polish Catholic Detroit suburb to a Muslim-dominated shariah city. But, until now, Muslims have never won the mayor position or taken over Hamtramck’s City Council. That’s coming. But until then, several Muslims thought they’d get things going faster through election fraud–by turning in hundreds of fraudulent absentee ballots (the number of absentee ballots cast in this year’s summer primary election were double the number cast in last year’s Presidential election). Today, several Muslims were criminally charged by Michigan’s Attorney General for the election fraud. Unfortunately, Abdul Algazali, the Muslim candidate for Mayor who may have had a part in the scheme, is not among those charged and will likely be elected Hamtramckstan Mayor in November. I call this “election jihad” or “halalection.”

Halal Election Fraud in Hamtramckstan

Three men, including a Hamtramck city council candidate in August’s primary election, are being charged with returning absentee ballots that did not belong to them. . . . Hamtramck Deputy City Clerk August Gitschlag told authorities that three people had delivered multiple absentee ballots to City Hall in violation of state election law, which says those in possession of ballots must be the voter, a relative, mail carrier or authorized official.

Salim Ahmed, 50, of Hamtramck, is charged with 21 counts of improper possession or return of absentee ballots. Armani Asad, 33, of Hamtramck, is charged with 14 counts of improper possession or return of absentee ballots. Mohammed Russell, 32, of Hamtramck, is charged with six counts of improper possession or return of absentee ballots. The charges are felonies punishable by up to five years in prison and a $1,000 fine. The men are expected to turn themselves in to authorities Thursday for arraignment, where they will be held on $10,000 bail each.

Asad was a candidate for city council in the Aug. 6 primary. He finished ninth out of 10 candidates with 307 votes. The top six vote-getters advanced to November’s election to vie for four-year terms. Ahmed was a campaign worker.

The investigation into possible ballot tampering is continuing.

Last week, the Wayne County Board of Canvassers announced after a recount of the city’s ballots that it would be sending letters to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office and the chief judge of the 31st District Court to investigate the election. They claimed probable cause of fraud based on the high number of absentee ballots turned in by residents and the high number of absentee voters, which was nearly twice the amount received during the 2012 presidential election. City Councilwoman Cathie Gordon, who ran unsuccessfully for mayor in the August primary, said she’s glad some progress is being made into the allegations.

“If you want to be on a ballot and you want to be an elected official in our town, you have to be 100 percent transparent and 100 percent honest,” said Gordon, who petitioned Wayne County for the recount. “If you are not, we don’t want you here.”

The so-called “Religion of Peace” is actually the religion of election fraud . . . while they still allow us to have elections. If they have their way, that will end, too. Check out Gaza . . . where HAMAS was elected once. And never held a full-scale election again.

Hamtramck ain’t that much different. Just remember: they can’t take over the U.S. through violent jihad (yet), so they are doing it another way: election fraud.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know: election fraud doesn’t exist, Muslims are completely honest and peaceful and would never engage in such a thing even if it did exist, and the roads are made of Juicy Fruit, and the world is a bunch of lollipops.

One other thing: before you go cheering Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, remember that he is a butt snorkeler to Muslims himself and gladly hangs out with a number of Hezbollah agents and supporters.

Well not a qualified JTAC but was allowed to do so in emergency situations. All FA folks are.

Then again if I did the terminal control I could not guarantee low collateral damage.

Is that a problem?
