Don’t Mess With This Muslim From Texas—He Just Got Elected!

In a north Texas city of 50,000, a Pakistani immigrant just won a seat on the City Council. Not that there weren’t those trying to block him.

Something truly wonderful happened in Texas on Saturday night. In between a rodeo championship in Fort Worth, a country music festival in Austin and people honky tonkin’ from Amarillo to San Antonio, history was being made in the mid-size city of Euless, Texas.

In this north Texas city that boasts a population of a little over 50,000, the good people there elected the first minority ever to the Euless City Council. And not only that, the person they elected by a 37-vote margin was both a Muslim and a Pakistani immigrant by the name of Salman Bhojani.
