Man doxxed after exposing his city's booming Islamic surge takes defiant stand: 'Not gonna stop'

DEARBORN, MI — City officials in Dearborn were shocked and appalled this week after a local resident made the radical, unhinged demand that public funds used to decorate municipal streets for religious holidays be distributed with actual equal treatment.

Margot Cleveland, a journalist with The Federalist, filed a civil rights lawsuit alongside the American Freedom Law Center against the city and Democratic Muslim Mayor Abdullah Hammoud. The suit alleges the city violated her constitutional rights by dropping thousands in taxpayer money on massive public holiday installations while completely ignoring repeated requests to extend the same courtesy to Easter and Passover.

"How dare you"

"The City of Dearborn spent taxpayer money to light up its streets and parks for Ramadan while stonewalling a resident who simply asked that Easter, Passover, and other Christian and Jewish holy days be treated the same way," said Robert J. Muise, AFLC co-founder and senior counsel. "That is a straightforward Establishment Clause violation, and the retaliation our client faced for speaking up about it only compounds the constitutional harm."

Legal counsel for Cleveland highlighted a previous City Council meeting where Mayor Hammoud modeled the administration's commitment to community dialogue during a warm, inclusive chat with local Christian pastor Ted Barham.

"And although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here," Hammoud told the Christian pastor during the public session. "And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of the city… because you are not somebody who believes in coexistence."

Dearborn leaders defended the city's festive spending habits—which included $1,500 on holiday banners, $5,000 on a giant crescent moon, custom streetlight installations, and official Dearborn Police Department holiday merch—as standard municipal operations.

"What makes this case especially troubling is that City officials, up to and including the Mayor, responded to a citizen’s respectful request for equal treatment with silence, stonewalling, and outright hostility — including the Mayor’s own words telling a Christian resident he is ‘not welcome’ in his own city," noted David Yerushalmi, an attorney on the case. "Our client is simply asking the City to treat Christians and Jews as equal citizens."

Cleveland maintained that she wasn't asking for the city to tear down its decorations, but rather to extend the spirit of municipal hospitality across all major faiths.

"I much prefer to ensure equality of faith traditions, as opposed to a challenge to the display," Cleveland wrote in an email to city officials.

When asked for comment, city administrators reportedly reiterated that true diversity means celebrating everyone, provided everyone consists exclusively of the group currently holding city hall's credit card.

Jihadi Democrat Abdul El-Sayed refuses to condemn IRGC

The Democrats’ jihadist nominee for the Senate in Michigan was asked a straightforward question at a town hall in Ann Arbor on Wednesday: would he condemn the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps?

He declined to do so.

As reported by Newsweek, Iman Dashti, an attendee who identified himself as Persian, informed the candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, that his own family had suffered persecution at the hands of the regime in Tehran. 

Dashti noted his dismay over leaked audio in which El-Sayed refused to comment on the death of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after U.S. strikes, remarking at the time that “there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today.”

“That silence had a gaping hole in our community,” Dashti said, before pressing El-Sayed to clarify whether “you stand unequivocally against the IRGC?”

Rather than offering a clear rejection of a brutal state apparatus, El-Sayed offered a studied evasion, replying, “I will always stand for and with democratic movements,” while adding that he opposed U.S. involvement in regime change. Of course, in actuality, El-Sayed opposes the U.S. in general. His good buddy, Hasan Piker, had openly said that the United States deserved 911.

The voter who posed the question was under no illusions about the reason for this hesitation. Speaking later on Fox News, he observed that “a lot of his supporters are very supportive of these institutions, the IRGC. They love the Iranian regime and he doesn’t want to alienate them.”

El-Sayed campaign backed by over $100,000 from dozens of members of group with alleged terror ties

The "Taqiyya Grin"

The political fundraising rule used to be simple. Candidates would promise to keep special interests out of politics, then quietly cash checks from the usual suspects. Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed appears determined to modernize the tradition by proving that "special interests" is apparently just another term that depends on who's writing the check. [H/T Fox News Digital.]

According to a Fox News Digital review, El-Sayed's campaign has collected more than $115,000 from at least 41 individuals who either work for, formerly worked for, or held leadership positions with the Council on American-Islamic Relations, better known as CAIR. That's one way to build a coalition. Another is to skip the middleman and rent a conference room at headquarters.

The irony is particularly rich because El-Sayed has made getting "money out of politics" one of the signature themes of his campaign. Apparently, the money was willing to leave politics, but politics kept inviting it back for coffee and a little bit o' jihad.

Among the contributors were some of CAIR's biggest names, including national Board Chair Manal Fakhoury, national Board Treasurer Eyas Abdeen, national Vice Chair Emad Sabbah, and CAIR-Michigan board member Jukaku Tayeb, who also happens to be El-Sayed's father-in-law. Family gatherings must feature unusually productive finance committee meetings.

Tayeb has reportedly been one of the largest financial backers of the super PAC supporting El-Sayed's campaign. He is also part of the founding committee of the Islamic Society of North America, a group that has been linked to Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood funding, according to previous reporting by the Washington Free Beacon.

Another donor attracting attention is CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad, [aka Nihad Adickwad] listed in Federal Election Commission records under the name Nehad Hammad. The dickwad sparked widespread criticism after saying he was "happy" to see Hamas break out of Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023, while arguing Israel "does not have the right to self-defense" as an occupying power. In Washington, that apparently qualifies as a controversial statement. On some college campuses, it qualifies as tenure material.

The support for El-Sayed stretched far beyond Michigan. Fox News Digital identified contributions from CAIR officials representing chapters in California, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Washington, Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio, and several other states, suggesting that El-Sayed's fundraising operation has become something of a national reunion tour.

Other contributors include CAIR-California Governance Board Treasurer Rubina Alvi, Governance Board Chair Asaad Traina, CAIR-Michigan board member Muzammil Ahmed, who contributed $11,600, Governance Board members Atef Ibrahim and Dina Ezzeddine, along with former National Board Chair Roula Allouch.

"Taqiyya Grin"

El-Sayed's relationship with CAIR extends beyond campaign donations. In 2022, he appeared at a CAIR event and was paid for a speaking engagement, where he criticized Oklahoma's ban on Sharia law and compared it to the Trail of Tears, according to the Washington Free Beacon. Nothing says "local Senate campaign" quite like re-litigating Oklahoma's legal code through historical analogies.

CAIR has faced scrutiny for years over allegations regarding ties to Hamas. In 2007, federal prosecutors identified the organization as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing case, the largest terrorism financing prosecution in American history.

CAIR was never charged with a crime and has consistently denied the allegations, challenging its designation in the case. Still, the organization has been formally designated or labeled a terrorist organization by Florida and Texas, while the United Arab Emirates designated CAIR a terrorist organization in 2014, a move widely understood to reflect the UAE's assessment that CAIR has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Responding to Fox News Digital, CAIR rejected allegations that it has ties to terrorism. The organization pointed to its "Dispelling Rumors About CAIR" webpage, memoranda stating it has "repeatedly condemned anti-Semitism throughout our 30 years of existence," and statements saying it has condemned attacks by Hamas and other designated terrorist organizations "for decades."

CAIR also highlighted a 2009 declaration stating, "We unequivocally condemn all acts of terrorism, whether carried out by al-Qa’ida, the Real IRA, FARC, Hamas, ETA, or any other group designated by the U.S. Department of State as a ‘Foreign Terrorist Organization."

The organization further cited a National Board statement condemning antisemitism and the Oct. 7 attacks, along with a 2023 editorial in which National Executive Director Nihad Awad said he agreed with CAIR's condemnation of attacks on civilians.

Meanwhile, El-Sayed has continued to draw criticism from Republicans and pro-Israel advocates over various Middle East-related controversies, including campaigning alongside far-left streamer Hasan Piker, his response to an attack targeting a Detroit synagogue, and declining to comment on the death of Iran's supreme leader because, he said, some constituents in Dearborn were mourning. Piker is the nephew of Cenk Uygur, the guy who yells garbage about Israel and founded Young Turks.

Despite the controversy, El-Sayed defeated Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens in Tuesday's Senate primary, surprising many political observers with a much stronger showing than expected. He now heads into a November showdown against Republican Mike Rogers.

Michigan voters will ultimately decide whether this fundraising strategy represents principled coalition building or merely another case of campaign ethics discovering that campaign slogans come with plenty of fine print.

Rashida Tlaib refuses to condemn "Death to America" chants: jihad comes to America

An angry, disgusting woman who hates America and the Jewish people

Repulsive Rashida Tlaib (Squad-MI) attended a rally in her district where Hamas supporters chanted "death to America" and of course, "death to Israel." In spite of her pledge to defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, the Democratic congresswoman refused to condemn the chanters and received bipartisan blow-back. 

At an “Al-Quds Day” rally in Dearborn, Michigan protesters chanted “death to America” and “death to Israel.” A speaker at the event even quoted Malcom X saying “We live in one of the rottenest countries that has ever existed on this earth.” 

Ironically, every moron who claims to believe this and chants this garbage has either come to the United States from a different country, or was born here and has no plans to go to a "better country," because there are no better countries than the USA.

The speaker continued, explaining that “The chant ‘death to Israel’ has become the most logical chant shouted across the world today.” It's especially 'logical' for hateful racists who now have a Nazi bandwagon to jump on. Many of these cretins are the same people who call conservatives 'white supremacists;' they obviously don't see themselves in the mirror.

Another speaker proclaimed “Israel is ISIS, they are Nazis, they are fascists, they are racists.” By making such ridiculous claims, they now believe they have the right to act in kind. If you call Israel genocidal, then it's okay to commit genocide against them.

Pro tip: Israel is not at all genocidal. If they were, Gaza would have been destroyed years ago and the IDF wouldn't take such care as to limit civilian casualties. Israel would not allow Arabs to participate in their Knesset and work in Israel if they were genocidal. But "shoe on other foot," there are no Jews in Gaza and if there were, they would be killed, like what the Gazan 'civilians' did to some of the hostages on Oct. 7.

Back to Dearborn.

The initial incident sparked condemnation from both sides of the political aisle. The mayor of Dearborn, Abdullah H. Hammoud, wrote on Twitter/X that, at the rally, people chanted “statements that were unacceptable and contrary to the heart of this city.

“We reject all inflammatory and violent statements made at the gathering. Dearborn is a city of proud Americans; the hateful rhetoric heard on Friday does not reflect the opinion of the members of this community,” he said. 

Even though he might not believe his words based on the history of the city, at least he vocalized them.

White House spokesman Andrew Bates told The Daily Caller that “The White House condemns these abhorrent and Antisemitic remarks in the strongest terms. As [US] President [Joe] Biden has said, America is the greatest nation on Earth and a beacon to the world.”

But Tlaib is a Democrat and the Party protects their own no matter how incendiary their words can be.

Tlaib was approached by a Fox News reporter on Wednesday, who asked if she condemned the chants. She replied, saying she did not speak to Fox News and that the reporter was engaging in Islamophobic tropes in asking her the question — likely because she perceived the reporter as questioning the patriotism and loyalty of Muslim Americans to the US.

Her logic is that if you ask a Muslim about anti-Israel and anti-American sentiments, you are Islamophobic, which simply translates to, "shut up."

— The First (@TheFirstonTV) April 11, 2024

The Republican Jewish Coalition’s national political director, Sam Markstein, had harsh words for Tlaib, telling The Algemeiner, a Jewish newspaper based in the United States, “It’s no surprise that Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib would refuse to condemn anti-America and anti-Israel chants.”

He described Rep. Tlaib as “a disgrace” who “should not be representing the people of Michigan’s 12th district in Congress.”

Maybe she ought to go back to her roots in Gaza and run for office there.

Markstein argued, “House Democratic leadership has coddled and enabled her vicious anti-Semitism and anti-Israel rhetoric for years – it’s long past time for them to hold her accountable.”

But rather than dealing with Tlaib for what she represents, the left goes after, you guessed it, Trump for anti-Semitic rhetoric, or what is interpreted as such, even though he has been the most Israel-friendly president in our time. This isn't about Trump; it's about Tlaib and other anti-Semites on the Left. It's time to vote them out.

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.

Stalinsky describes protesters in the city shouting "Intifada, intifada," "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," and "America is a terrorist state." [H/T Fox News]

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 residents celebrate October 7, 2023

"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!

MI Rep. spends campaign funds at strip club: guess his political party

A Michigan Democratic state representative blew $221 in campaign funds at a strip club, according to his financial disclosures, showing that not only is he honest, but he is also an idiot. I mean, what do you get going to a strip club besides overpriced drinks and a chance to get to look at stripper nipples [so I've been told].

Rep Jewell Jones' most recent quarterly disclosures list a "constituent meeting" in March at the Pantheion Club in Dearborn, Michigan [aka Dearbornistan]. The club's venue is a topless dancing club calling itself "the oldest and most established gentlemens [sic] club in Michigan." 

The "purpose" for the strip club expense described the meeting and stripper nipple viewing as a discussion of "potential economic projects" in Inkster, Mich., [Go, Rorschach Rowdies!] which Jones represents in the state house.

Jones, who not only sits in the front row of strip clubs also sits on the legislature's regulatory reform committee. He has spent over $6,400 of campaign funds thus far, at restaurants for "work-related" meetings. One such "work-related" expenditure listed in the disclosures describes a March "dinner meeting with other legislators" at a restaurant in Las Vegas where Jones spent nearly $700 and all he had was the salad bar [kidding]. 

The 26-year-old lawmaker, who in 2016 was elected as the state's youngest-ever-most-corrupt- representative, is no stranger to controversy. He was arrested on drunk-driving charges this past April after he drove his car into a ditch.

In a police report detailing the incident, a paramedic described arriving at the scene to witness a woman in the car with her pants down while Jones's pants were partially down. Police on scene tased and pepper-sprayed the aroused Jones when he became combative, and the lawmaker threatened to call on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D., Mich.) to get the officers in trouble, but it turns out that she is just as corrupt and probably would have given Jones an award for standing up to the man--in more ways than one.

"It's not going to be good for you," Jones said as officers wrestled him to the ground. "I run you all's budget, bro. When I call Gretchen, I'll need y'all IDs and badge numbers, everything." His blood alcohol content was 0.19, twice the legal driving limit.

Jones even violated the terms of his probation this month by failing to pay for an alcohol-monitoring tether, which he is required to wear to track his alcohol intake. This is the second time he refused to comply with the monitor.

The judge in the case ordered Jones pay a $1,000 fine for the violation and told him he would face jail time if he breaches his bond conditions again.

Las Vegas odds are 10 to 1 that he will never be incarcerated in a Democratically-run state.

Dearbornistan school linked to Iran, Hezbollah scumwafers

Nasrallah (Photo: Mahmoud Zayyat/AFP/Getty Images)

Clarion Project uncovered a private Islamic school in Dearborn, Michigan finding that it's linked to staunch Hezbollah supporters and the Iranian regime. The school indoctrinates students from kindergarten through 9th grade with hatred. The school's objective is to teach the same radical objective to children.

Great Revelations Academy was founded in 2015 by open supporters of now dead Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah. By their own admission, the school’s founders are dedicated to spreading his message of vile scumbaggery and anti-Semitism [but I repeat myself.]

Fadlallah was a supporter of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran and is considered to be a key inspirer of Hezbollah. Some go so far as to describe the terror turd as the terrorist group’s “spiritual leader.”

Fadlallah also supported the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marines barracks in Beirut that killed 241 U.S. Marines (who were serving as peacekeepers) as well as 58 French troops and six civilians. [I have several Marine Corps acquaintances who would have loved to get him alone in a room.]

In 2005, the crap weasel reiterated his support for suicide bombings against Israel, but not for himself so much. When he died in Lebanon in 2010, Hezbollah called for three days of mourning.

Iranian death merchant, Supreme Leader of all things vile, Ayatollah Khamenei, sent his condolences.

One of the academy’s founders, Fouad Bayoun, told Arab-American News that one of the purposes of creating the school was to pass along Fadlallah’s teachings to children in America. How freaking sweet . . . they blow up so young.

[The school] follows the same philosophy, mission and vision of Sayed Fadlallah,” said the school’s principal, Sheila Bazzi-Charara, a woman with a heart of trash.

On , the academy posted an advertisement for an event it was holding with the Qaim Project, an organization led by the academy’s head of the Islamic Studies Department, Sheikh Mohammad Ayad (according to Qaim’s website).

In his bio on the academy’s website, Ayad writes:

“Serving as the religious educator at Great Revelations Academy gives me a great pleasure and it is an honor to continue what the Holy scholar Al-Sayyid Mohammad Hussain Fadlollah [sic] started ‘peace and blessings to his soul’. We want to endeavor to implant in the hearts and souls of our children the confidence that makes them proud of their Religion, and to maintain the power that Allah (SWT) has instilled in their souls to make them the leaders of the future–to uphold the flag of Islam.”

Ayad’s Qaim Project exalts Hezbollah, the Iranian-sponsored Lebanese terror group, as well as the terrorist group Hamas. Specifically, Ayad exalts the youth members of these two terror groups

Particularly disturbing is the fact that the Qaim Project has a youth program and that it's also located in Dearborn, a former American city, and operating with impunity.

Imam debunks Michigan man's claim that travel ban killed his mom

Dearborn, MI -- A Muslim man who claimed his mother died due to President Trump's travel ban that prevented her from returning to the US for medical treatment was merely using taqiyya (i.e., lying) to the media, according to the imam of a local mosque.

Mike (possibly an Americanization for Mohammad) Hager told TV stations in Boston and Detroit he tried to bring his mother back from Iraq last Friday but she wasn't allowed to enter the U.S. because of the Trump travel order restricting entry from seven countries known for spawning terrorists.

He also told Fox2: "Since I lost my mom I've been on heavy medication--I can't even sleep. I did not make anything up."

The last part should have been the clue that he was lying.

But Imam Husham Al-Hussainy said that Hager's mother actually died January 22nd, five days before the travel restrictions went into effect. The imam told the news station prayers for the woman at the Karbalaa Islamic Foundation Center in Dearborn.

So it looks like "Mike" won't be getting compensated for his anti-depressants or be able to sue Trump for the travel ban that he said killed his mom.

In fact, Hager posted on Facebook a memorial statement for his mother on January 22nd which he since deleted.

Al-Hussainy said he first learned that the woman died after members of his mosque and family's Facebook posts. A funeral was held for the woman at a nearby mosque last weekend.

Hager's claim was that he was a U.S. citizen but his mother and other family members who traveled to Iraq were not. The others were not allowed to return, he claimed.

How disgusting of anyone who would use the death of a parent to further a geopolitical and religious cause.

But it's comforting to know that there are imams and other Muslims who are patriotic.
