On June 17th, the St. Louis Park City Council voted 5-0 to get rid of the Pledge of Allegiance.
Councilwoman Anne Mavity, who had called for the abolition of the pledge, insisted that the pledge didn't reflect the city's diverse values.
Some critics of the Pledge ban had tied the move to Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Omar and the Pledge ban may be products of the same demographic forces reshaping St. Louis Park, Hennepin County, and Minnesota.
As IslamicWeb puts it, "The Pledge of Allegiance of Muslims is only to Allah." It adds that, "Any person who makes his Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of his country, he is legally responsible to defend that country according to what the political leaders decide. The leaders may decide to invade other countries and commit all types of injustices, atrocities, and crimes."
Muslims are the likeliest group in St. Louis Park for whom diversity would conflict with the Pledge.
Americans fought the Battle of the Pledge in St. Louis Park and struck a blow for patriotism in Rep. Ilhan Omar's own backyard.
