FP: Debbie Schlussel, welcome to Frontpage Interview.
You have recently launched a federal lawsuit against Imad Fadlallah, a Muslim individual who was, until July, the principal of Dearborn’s Fordson High School.
Tell us what the lawsuit is about.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Schlussel: Two teachers at Dearborn’s Fordson High School, Bryan Purcell and Georgene Stergalas, were repeatedly harassed by the then-Muslim principal Imad Fadlallah. (He has since been replaced by another Muslim principal.) As we’ve noted in the press release announcing the lawsuit, it was clear that the harassment was brought because these teachers are Christians and not Muslims and because the principal wanted to replace Christian teachers with teachers who are Muslims, Arabs, or Arab Muslims.
Fadlallah has used this tax-funded public school to push Islamic extremism, including giving students the day off and extra credit to campaign against Christian candidates on Election Day and temporarily canceling the prom because it is unIslamic. The school football team also illegally engages in organized Islamic prayer before football games. As we noted in the lawsuit, Fadlallah, who is a cousin of recently-deceased Hezbollah spiritual leader Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, made sure that the teachers were repeatedly scheduled for two classes at the same time at opposite ends of the school, and he recruited Muslim students to harass and report on the teachers, as well as deliberately assigning them the worst students—troublemakers—repeatedly encouraging them to harass these two teachers.
The teachers are both award-winning teachers, but as part of Mr. Fadlallah’s harassment of them, he and other school personnel under his domain gave the teachers negative reviews and reports in their records. Mr. Purcell also has Type I Diabetes and, as part of the harassment against him, he was repeatedly told he could not take time out to give himself necessary shots and the school deliberately scheduled classes when he was medically required to eat and take shots.
FP: What is the larger significance of this lawsuit? For instance, if you win, it will be a victory not only for this suit in and of itself, and the same goes for if you are not successful. Tell us about the larger issues that are at stake.
Schlussel: As we’ve noted in the press release, this is a tax-funded public high school in which Islam is heavily pushed, in blatant violation of the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution and in which religious discrimination against non-Muslims is egregious. Specifically as it relates to the lawsuit, I cannot comment beyond what we’ve said in the lawsuit and in the press release announcing it (and any further filings as the case goes forward). However, in general, as I’ve repeatedly noted on my own site, DebbieSchlussel.com, regarding Islamic takeovers of American institutions, there are always—in every fight regarding American society and the direction of tax-funded, public institutions (and private ones)–greater implications beyond just a single school or a region of the country because, as we see more and more cities, neighborhoods, and school districts take in increasingly greater numbers of Islamic immigrants and Muslim adherents born here—but who refuse to absorb into American culture and instead impose their views and religious requirements on others—America can either sit back and take it and lose our country as we know it. Or we can reclaim Western culture and require that tax-funded institutions adhere to the same Separation of Mosque and State as we require for Church and State and Synagogue and State. The long-term survival of the West and Western culture depends on insisting on the latter. I broke the story on my site of the University of Michigan-Dearborn’s use of over $100,000 in public money to install Islamic footbaths, and I’ve broken other stories about the Constitutional violations imposed by Muslims in America, violations that we’ve accepted and done nothing about. We must fight back. I will be announcing future lawsuits regarding this, very soon.
FP: We support and praise you here at Frontpage for launching this lawsuit, Ms. Schlussel. What can our readers who want to help do?
Schlussel: Because this case is a contingency fee case, I am mostly pursuing it on behalf of my clients for free, until and unless we prevail. I have put many hours into it and continue to do so, all pretty much for free. It is very costly to pursue and we would appreciate all support and help, no matter how small, to help defray the costs of pursuing this litigation. All contributions can be made via Paypal to writedebbie@gmail.com. I appreciate that FrontPageMag has given us this opportunity.

We encourage all of our readers to help Debbie Schlussel in her valiant effort to defend our fellow citizens who are being attacked by the forces of Islamic supremacism on American soil. Make a contribution via Paypal at writedebbie@gmail.com.
Christians are expected to just bow down and submit. Had enough yet?
I thought Jim R forbade any and all postings pertaining to Debbie Schlussel.
Psalm 2:
1 Why do the heathen rage , and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder , and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh : the Lord shall have them in derision . 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. 10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed , ye judges of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry , and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
She’s done this pro-bono on behalf of persecuted Christian teachers at Dearborn High. It obviously costs a lot of money. Whatever people on here think of her, she’s a good attorney and if I ever have a problem like those teachers do, I would want her to take my case.
I have read that she is “unstable”.
Some of the articles she has written about Islam near Detroit seem to be accurate. She is not a PC protector of Islam.
I quoted her articles in the past with no apparent criticism by the administrators. That my be due to the context of what I quoted.
At least she is not the “typical AP writer”.
Just FYI...Schlussel is persona non grata around here.
Notice: Do not post anything from Debbie Schlussel com or anything written by her
One of the things she’s fighting is Islamic takeover of public schools. The Left for some reason has no problem with Islam being propagated in our public schools but fights tooth and nail to keep our Judeo-Christian faiths out of them. Their hatred of Christianity is only equaled by their exaggerated respect for Islam.
So did I!
The Left & Islam can only stay in power with oppression and subjection.
Hence they are brothers in crime.
All free men must understand why the two are drawn together.

Can we at least post something nasty about her before the thread gets pulled?

Why would they come here for freedom when the first thing they do, when they think they can get away with it, is to push sharia law? Like I’ve said before, the Muslims didn’t come here for freedom. They came to take over.
She is as ignorant as a leftist when she says that school and religion don’t mix because of the “Establishment Clause.” It says: “CONGRESS shall make no law...” etc. There is NOTHING in the Constitution that says kids can’t pray before a football game, etc., etc. If Congress tried to pass a law about prayers in school being mandatory, now THAT would be anti-Constitutional.
This is from Frontpage and is not written by DS. I think it’s an important development and should stay, but it’s not my site so JR makes the call.
Dearborn is a country all it’s own. We used to dance there for the Arab International Festival. I think we were the token white group (Slovak). The year the the audience was asking why we were there, we weren’t Arab, was horrible.
The signs are in Arabic and there are booths set up by Hamas and Hezbolla. It’s creepy.
Hope posting this artical won’t twist her jockstrap.
God old Dearbornistan. Not surprised.
