Muslim Americans in Chicago are among those with high hopes for President Elect Barack Obama's administration. During the campaign, many watched as Obama repeatedly denied claims that he's a Muslim. Chicago Public Radio was at the Islamic Center in downtown Chicago on election night. There we listened as a group of Muslim Americans talked about their hopes for the future, including matters of faith and presidential politics.
