Hamtramck is 1st American city to elect majority Muslim council
4 of 6 Hamtramck City Council members are Muslim
HAMTRAMCK, Mich. -The Polish flocked to Hamtramck in the 1900s and evidence of the city's Polish roots remain.
However, over the last few decades a new wave of immigrants, primarily from the Middle East, South Asia and Southeastern Europe, has dramatically changed the face and culture of this community.
Now, the Hamtramck City Council is going to reflect that diversity.
"We are very proud and we are very happy for that achievement, what we have done in this city, for our city," said Jamal Alturki, a voter.
Voters gave Abu Musa and Anam Miah another term in office. Saad Almasmari was elected for the first time. Now four of the six City Council members will be of Muslim faith.
It's said to be the first majority Muslim City Council not only in Hamtramck but in the entire country.
"I think that sends a message not only to Hamtramck but throughout the region that people want their representation in offices," Miah said.
Although there will be more diversity at the table, they want to make clear the goal of public service stays the the same.
"My concern is to give the people, everybody, equal opportunity and be fair for everybody," said Musa.
"We are going to represent everybody. We are going to serve everybody, Christians, Jewish, Muslims, everybody," said Almasmari.

Last week, I reported about the first American city in history to elect a Muslim majority City Council. Well it didn’t take long for the aggression and hostility to surface — did it? It never does. Always conflict and strife.
A cell phone video surfaced of one of the organizers declaring, “Today we show the Polish and everybody else……” The town has a large but shrinking Polish community.
Ugly.
They won — are they incapable of being gracious? Don’t answer that. The message is clear. Non-Muslims move or else.

This video was taken moments after Muslims received the word that they took over the city council – thanks to IOTW
“Muslim political comments about Hamtramck causes concern,” FOX 2 Detroit, November 7, 2015
HAMTRAMCK, Mich. – History in Hamtramck as voters elected the first majority Muslim city council in the country.
But rather than ease racial tensions, the comments from a Muslim organizer threaten to divide.
It was a historic moment Tuesday, but followed by a controversial comment that may create or widen the rift between the growing Muslim and shrinking Polish community in Hamtramck.
“Today we show the Polish and everybody else,” said Ibrahim Algahim in cell phone video.
The comments touched a nerve.
It came after Hamtramck voters elected America’s first Muslim majority city council in a town where the Polish community held the power for decades. Cathie Lisinki-Gordon, a former councilmember, was one of Tuesday’s losers and was surprised at the comment. “I’m shocked that he said that. I’m a very good friend of his,” she said. “I cannot believe that he would ever profile any select group. Especially when his community has felt ostracized and profiled for many years.” The statement was immediately rebuffed by many present at the Muslim candidates’ victory lab Saad Almasmari, the top vote getter, was one of them…

We need to stop this from happening any more. Next thing you know they will be wanting to use Shari law and refuse our own rule of law, very bad for USA.
