The harmonious US city run by Muslim Americans
By Zhaoyin Feng
A walk down the main street in Hamtramck, Michigan, feels like a tour around the world.
A Polish sausage store and an Eastern European bakery sit alongside a Yemeni department store and a Bengali clothing shop. Church bells ring out along with the Islamic call to prayer.
"The world in two square miles" - Hamtramck lives up to its slogan, with around 30 languages spoken within its 5 sq km area.
This month, the Midwestern city of 28,000 has reached a milestone. Hamtramck has elected an all-Muslim City Council and a Muslim mayor, becoming the first in the US to have a Muslim-American government.
Once faced with discrimination, Muslim residents have become integral to this multicultural city, and now make up more than half its population.
(continue, belief in a sky faery rather than climate change sure improves birth rates?)

Nothing new there at least for Canadians. Muslim law makers and a large portion of certain cities and very happily for all concerned cept a few bigots.

Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late
Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

Well, I'm waiting for news of religious violence... it's not like midwesterners to let themselves be ruled by folk who are not good Xtians

Makes you wonder where the bodies of life's natural dissenters and arseholes are hidden?
