A Detroit-area newspaper says the results of Tuesday's primary could lead to Hamtramck, Michigan, becoming the first city council in the U.S. to be controlled by Muslims.
The Detroit News says there are four Muslims in the Tuesday primary. If they are among the candidates who win and go on to run in the November election, they would have a chance to join a fifth Muslim who already sits on the six-member council and is up for re-election in 2009.
Hamtramck -- historically a refuge for Catholic immigrants mostly from Poland and Ukraine -- was at the center of a controversy three years ago over an initiative allowing amplified calls to prayer from the city's mosques.

Cool,Sharia in the Moter City !!!!
Now acquiring target acoustically...
Motor Dummy, think before you type!
Muslim control?
I thought this is America.
“Motor Dummy, think before you type!”
Jeez, off your meds today?
All non-Muslims have to come out in full force and prevent the Muslim seizure by casting their votes.
Shria law, coming to a city near you.

I like to beat myself up.
After we finish building the wall on our Southern border (giggle) maybe we can look at doing the same thing to Hamtramck.
After all, freedom of religion doesn't mean freedom from religion.
LOL sorry, I see the message was from you to you. I thought someone else was pounding on you.
Now if we can elect Obama!
barbra ann
Time to buy another two or three shotguns.
They already have the call to prayer six times a day.
And unless they have a Rosary said on the loudspeaker (the other big religion there) the Muslim prayers are right out.
Don’t you mean- Barak Hussein?
This would be funny if it weren’t true. It’s like voting for a guy named Otto Himler during wwII
What is really sad, is that growing up I thought I would never see this type of thing happening to my country. Driving with my mom down to the border in Tijuana was treat and mysterious place. Now, just another city on the map. My kids, I fear will not see the America I grew up with.

Michiganistahn...
A little here, a little there, slowly but surely...
Don’t you just love liberalism?
Kick ‘em all out NOW!
That debacle was about three years ago.
When you sit back and let cockroaches infiltrate your communities and lives, this should be expected.
Look forward to similar works in Dearborn...the mecca in Michigan.
Keep it above the ‘Mason-Dixon” please,,,
Honestly, I wouldn’t doubt it.
Hamtramck is scary, Dearborn is scarier.
I nearly lost a keyboard one day when Alouette stated that she had been shopping down in Dearborn and got into a group of women in hijabs. She said that she made them “breathe Jew air”!!!!
Diet coke up the nose but ya gotta love her!
Guarantee: within a year they will be practicing sharia law. Within 2 years, they will be asking for sharia law to become the official law.
Stand Fast!

The global Japanese company my husband worked for made the decision to move (i) all their manufacturing operations to Mexico and Brazil (closing the plants that had been in NC and SC); and (ii) move their corporate operations to Detroit to be closer to the auto industry (those operations had been in NC).
We declined the move, husband is still job hunting. In the interim we had taken on housing and care of his mother. We don’t feel she can make another move....some days he is really discouraged.
Lucky Michigan City, lucky USA.
Over the past thirty years, a large number of immigrants from the Middle East (especially Yemen) and South Asia (especially Bangladesh) have moved to the city. As of the 2000 census, the city’s foreign born population stood at 41.1%
Prayers for you and your family. BTW you did the right thing.
I’m surprised to find out Hamtramck wasn’t already.
Maybe. I lived in Europe for eight years and from experience, we are asking for trouble.
Not anymore. It is dying by degrees...

.
This needs to be up on billboards everywhere in this country.
You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile...
You'll know when they've taken over when they change the name.
Prayers for your husband’s job, Rose. Of course he’s discouraged. But it WILL work out. It’s happened to many a good man.
Courtesy of our bloated, bumbling, bungling, incompetent and corrupt federal government which cares nothing for the national sovereignty of the United States.
HORRIFIC
We’re in a pickle, but half the people don’t even know they’re marinating in the juice.
I’m afraid that’s quite right...
This could actually be a good thing. Once these clowns start using Sharia law or the Koran to base government decisions on, or start renaming streets after martyrs, perhaps people will start to wake up to the dangers of complacence. Better to have the wake up call happen at the city level of government somewhere than the State congress or senate, or God forbid, at the federal level.
Remember associating London with Big Ben, the queen (not Elton) and all that the culture offers? Paris with the Eiffel Tower, French cuisine and culture? Those days are gone. I saw that coming, (really) and you're right it's going to happen for us also.
This is a horrible watershed moment. The muslims in our country will be out of control soon.
