Council urges U.S. Muslims to register to vote

ST. LOUIS — After the call to prayer, the call to vote is going out to Muslims around the nation. The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim civil rights group, is registering voters to give a stronger, more united political voice to Muslims living in the United States. It is part of a nationwide effort to sign up 1 million new voters for next year’s election. Estimates of the number of Muslims in the United States vary dramatically from 2 million to 6 million.
