In election news, Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison of Minnesota is facing political attacks over his Islamic faith. Over the weekend, the Tea Party Nation sent out an email listing reasons why Ellison should be voted out of office. One of the reasons listed read: “He is the only Muslim member of congress.” The Tea Party also alleges that Ellison “helped congress send millions of tax to terrorists in Gaza.” No proof of the claim is offered. In 2006, Ellison became the first Muslim to be elected to Congress, but he is no longer the only Muslim in Congress. Congressman André Carson of Indiana was elected in 2008, becoming the second Muslim in Congress.
