Sharia stronghold in the new world, Dearborn, Michigan

The Biden administration is wooing Islamic America, especially in Michigan, where 300,000 registered Muslim voters are fierce supporters of Palestine, Hamas, and Hezbollah. For decades, Dearborn, a southwestern enclave of Detroit, has been a menacing Mecca of anti-Israel/America malevolence. This is historically poignant since the famous automobile maven, Henry Ford, bought his hometown newspaper, The Dearborn Independent, in 1918 and printed an unsparing series of antisemitic attacks.

Long before October 7, the Wolverine state’s Muslim leaders have zealously opposed Biden’s vital support of Israel, and their most recent protests calling for a Gazan cease-fire should not be seen as pacifist overtures. These pro-terror militants are not constructing beatific bridges between Arab and Jew but getting dirty beneath the scenes financing Tunnels for Terror, not to be confused with Kars for Kids. If Biden doesn’t do as these irate Ishmaelites demand, their vote will be withheld, and this time, it will not be over a clay bowl of mutton stew. 

According to a Cygnal poll conducted between October 16 and 18, more than half of U.S. Muslim voters believed that even the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust was justified. A Feb. 1 New York Times article stated that “President Biden ordered broad financial and travel sanctions on Israeli settlers accused of violent attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, a forceful gesture aimed in part at Arab American voters who have expressed fury about the president’s backing of Israel’s war in Gaza.” 

The Biden Administration is only concerned with maintaining a Democratic chokehold on America, but a Harvard CAPS-Harris poll shows that 80% of American voters do not stand with Hamas. These targeted sanctions are clumsy, desperate attempts to mollify Muslim voters and do not in any way reflect the American public’s view of this conflict. 

After the Wall Street Journal printed a Feb. 2 op-ed by Steven Stalinsky, a counter-terrorism researcher, exposing Dearborn’s alleged support for Islamo-terrorism, Biden faulted the article: “Americans know that blaming a group of people based on the words of a small few is wrong,” he tweeted. “That’s exactly what can lead to Islamophobia and anti-Arab hate, and it shouldn’t happen to the residents of Dearborn.”

However, according to Daniel Greenfield’s February 19 Front Page article, The Truth About the Dearborn Jihad, this “small few” was over 1200 people celebrating Israel’s demise inside Dearborn’s Islamic Center of America, the largest mega mosque in the country.

“After the Hamas attacks,” writes Greenfield, “the Detroit News promoted claims by the Islamic Center of Detroit that it had been forced to boost security because ‘people were scared.’” Just the week before, the center’s Imam Imran Salha sermonized before congregants that Israel had put a “fire in our hearts that will burn that state until its demise.”

On May 19, 2023, in a YouTube video translated from Arabic to English by the Middle East Research Institute, Salha stated, “If somebody loves Palestine, but they don't worship Allah, then I don’t want your activism for Palestine.” He also protested those who “shake hands with people who endorse things like the LGBTQ principles.”

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer complained that the WSJ article regarding Dearborn was “incredibly cruel and ignorant and a total misrepresentation of an important city full of a lot of beautiful people.” Her “good friend,” Abed Hammoud, a former US attorney who once ran for Dearborn's mayor, also headed the Congress of Arab American Organizations. Hammoud, a Lebanese immigrant, once insisted that US/Israel efforts against Hezbollah were “smearing the whole (Dearborn) community.

According to Greenfield, Abed Hammoud was once the lawyer for Mohammad Bazzi, a financier for Hezbollah, the “specially designated global terrorist” who is also described as “a player for senior Hezbollah operatives and senior Iranian leadership.” President Obama in 2011 appointed Hammoud as an Assistant US Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan.

In 2022, the Mayor of Dearborn, Abdullah Hussein Hammoud, nephew to Hamed Hammoud, participated in a New Generation for Palestine rally. In a video of the rally posted by MEMRI, Hammoud described Dearborn as “the city of resistance.” “Resistance” is the euphemism that Hamas and Hezbollah substitute for “terror.”

At the same event, guest speaker Osama Siblani, publisher of Arab American News, exclaimed, “We are the Arabs that are going to lift Palestinians all the way to victory. When we are in Michigan, and whether we are in Jenin. Believe me. Everyone should fight within his means. They will fight with stones. Others will fight with guns. others will fight with planes, drones. And others will fight with rockets. And others will fight in their voice, and the others will fight with their hands and say free, free Palestine!” 

 An American Military News article published four days after October 7 read, “Hundreds of residents gathered Tuesday at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center in Dearborn to protest against Israel and support Palestine after Hamas killed 1200 Jews.” Collin Rugg, co-owner of Trending Politics, shared video footage of the rally on X and stated that Alabas Farhat, a Democrat State Representative, was a featured speaker.

By crying, “ISLAMOPHOBIA!” organized haters of America and Israel are issued a license to lie and steal malleable American hearts and minds as they deconstruct our First Amendment.
