Note: Ferdnand Hedayet's daughter
Dana Hedayet's father Ferdnand was an innocent Muslim who was framed by al-Quaeda and imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba during America's war with radical Muslim terrorists. In an alternative/possible future, Dana Hedayet was a native-born U.S. citizen who became the President of the United States in the year 2026.
Dana Hedayet was presumably the first female Muslim U.S. President in this timeline, although this fact needs to be further researched in order to be confirmed. President Barak Obama could be considered the first male Muslim U.S. President, although he was only born and partially raised as a Muslim. As an adult, Barak Obama converted to the United Church of Christ and no longer identified himself as a Muslim.
