For those who think what happened in Paris couldn;t happen here, IT ALREADY IS ! While our eyes are closed, Muslims will take over our country...little by little !!!

In Michigan, town is the first in U.S with a Muslim controlled council   November 2015 



Three Muslim American candidates are the top three vote getters in the Hamtramck election.

On Friday, it was announced that a town in Michigan, that had made news back in 2004 for allowing a mosque to broadcast its call to prayer from speakers on its roof to practicing Muslims has again made history again.. The town has elected members of the Muslim faith with 4 of the 6 seats on the governing council. Hamtramck community leader Bill Meyer, a Hamtramck community leader stated that, "The election was far from close, with the three Muslim winners each gaining over 1,000 votes, while the other three candidates garnered less than 700 votes each.Three of the Muslims on Hamtramck's City Council are of Bangladeshi descent, while one other member is of Yemeni descent

According to the Washington Post, “the Muslim population in Hamtramck has grown steadily due to immigration, said University of Michigan-Dearborn associate professor Sally Howell, who has written a book on Michigan and U.S. Muslims. Dearborn has many Arab-American immigrants, but Hamtramck likely became the first city to have a Muslim-majority population in 2013. She estimates that about 50 percent of the city is made up of Muslims, and the city has at least seven mosques, more mosques per capita than anywhere else in the country.”
Howell continued her discussion that, “The growth is taking place in these Muslim communities, and they are transforming the city scape,” and that “It’s become much more visible in the last 15 years.” The town in the 1970's was primarily made up of Polish decent families.
