First Muslim to Congress in Minnesota?

Does it matter if a Muslim is elected to Congress? Will a Muslim show allegiance to America first or to Islam first? Will a Muslim write laws to favor Islam? Are exstremist Muslim organizations backing his candidacy and do they see this as a foot in the door into American Politics?

In Minneapolis Democrat voters are preparing to send a Muslim to Congress because they agree with his message of peace, withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and universal health care, but the question is does he value America over Islam?

Many America Muslims have problems with allegiance to their faith opposed to allegiance to their country when asked the question.

The question is, is this the beginning of the balkanization of American politics?
