Dearborn, MI, is the "jihad capital" of USA

Dearborn, Michigan [aka Dearbornisthan] is increasing security after a Wall Street Journal article correctly dubbed it the "jihad capital" of America. 

Sad thing is that it really is.

In 2010, a Christian apologist, David Wood, and his small group of missionaries, were in Dearborn quietly handing out Christian literature in a public area at the Dearborn Arab International Festival. Wood, along with Dr. Nabeel Qureshi, and Paul Rezkalla were thrown in jail on June 18, 2010, and charged with "breach of peace," for their First Amendment rights.

The following September,  Robert Muise, AFLC Co-Founder and Senior Counsel, represented Wood and the other Christians during a five-day criminal trial. 

The trial resulted in an acquittal by a unanimous jury verdict.

Following the acquittals, fellow AFLC Co-Founder and Senior Counsel David Yerushalmi and Muise filed a 100-page, civil rights lawsuit against Dearborn, its mayor, John B. O’Reilly, its chief of police, Ronald Haddad, 17 City police officers, and two executives from the American Arab Chamber of Commerce on behalf Qureshi, Wood, and Rezkalla. The lawsuit was later amended to add the Arab Chamber as a defendant. The civil rights complaint alleged that the Christians’ constitutional rights were egregiously violated during the Arab festival.

Dearborn contains the highest concentration of Muslim residents in the country.

The piece, in the WSJ written by Steven Stalinsky, executive director of the Middle East Media Research Institute, highlights mass support for Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran among city residents.

The piece also states that Dearborn residents were "celebrating" Hamas’ Oct. 7 barbaric and gleeful massacre, rape, mutilation an immolation of Israeli men, women and children that left 1,200 dead and hundreds more injured. 

These celebrations, of course, came before Israel retaliated with a ground offensive that has resulted in the deaths of thousands of terrorists and their supporters.

Painting themselves as victims, Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud on Friday tweeted that city police increased security at places of worship and major infrastructure points as a "direct result" of a WSJ op-ed opinion piece. 

Hammoud posted on the X platform, that the item published Friday "led to an alarming increase in bigoted and Islamophobic rhetoric online targeting the city of Dearborn."

"It’s 2024 and the [Wall Street Journal] still pushes out this type of garbage," Hammoud wrote in another post, calling it "Reckless. Bigoted. Islamophobic."

"Dearborn is one of the greatest American cities in our nation," he added and then screamed Allahu Akbar!

Stalinsky told The Associated Press that his piece was obviously not intended to "instigate any sort of hate" and that he wanted to draw attention to protests in Michigan and elsewhere across the U.S. in which people have expressed support for Hamas since the start of the war with Israel.

"This is a moment for counterterrorism officials to be concerned," he said.

When the Jews in Israel were slaughtered, some people celebrated. When the Jews of Israel fought back, those same people called for a ceasefire. But "never again" means "never again."

Am Yisrael Chai!
