Hamtramck, Michigan is first American city to elect majority Muslim council?

 


A diverse Detroit enclave known for its Polish heritage elected three Muslim-Americans to its city council Tuesday night, reportedly making it the first Muslim-majority city council in the country.
Saad Almasmari, a Yemeni American, received the most votes of the six candidates on the ballot, while incumbents Abu Musa and Anam Miah, both Bangladesh natives, were re-elected. The trio joined Bangladeshi council member Mohammed Hassan to form the first majority Muslim city council in America, a local ABC News affiliate reported.
