Muslim Keith Ellison seeks House seat
AP ^ | 29 June 06 | Patrick Condon

Keith Ellison is hoping that this city of mostly white Christians is ready to make a black Muslim its next congressman.

Ellison, a state representative and criminal defense lawyer, is the state-party endorsed Democratic candidate in the liberal-leaning 5th Congressional District. That makes him the favorite in his quest to become the first Muslim member of Congress.

But Ellison is dogged by questions about his faith, particularly after disclosures about his past associations with the Nation of Islam, a group led by Louis Farrakhan.
