Minneapolis City Council divided over how Muslim members were excluded from vote

Three Muslim members of the Minneapolis City Council missed a vote Wednesday on rent control because they were absent for the holiday Eid al-Adha.

The vote Wednesday happened in under a minute, with no Minneapolis City Council members discussing the measure or its timing before deciding the matter.

    Today I learned that the Minneapolis Muslim population is large enough that there are three Muslims on its City Council. I knew Prince was from there but I still kind of expected it to be a much whiter city than it is. Interesting.
