Second Muslim Elected to Congress

From the Associated Press:

Indiana voters on Tuesday elected a Muslim to Congress, only the second of that faith chosen in U.S. history.

Andre Carson, grandson of the late Democrat Rep. Julia Carson, was elected to serve the balance of her term in the U.S. House of Representatives in a special election. . . .

The first and only other Muslim member of the U.S. Congress is Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota, also a Democrat, who is in his first term.

If Carson decides to use the Qu'ran in his swearing-in photo op, let's hope Rep. Virgil Goode will behave better than he did the last time this happened.

He faces stiff competition in the May primary, people much more qualified than someone who was elected largely because he's Julia Carson's grandson.
