Around the corner from the Al-Islah Mosque the five daily calls can be heard at the Martha Washington bakery. As customers trickle in one non-Muslim woman refers to it as "that noise". She's also not a fan of the niqabs now regularly seen in the high street.

And you can bet that there won’t be ANY hand wringing in the Leftist Media, over Women’s rights, or Gay rights in Hamtramck, Michigan!

Inside City Hall a plaque celebrates the annual Arabic Festival and a sign reads "Middle East: Coming to Hamtramck." Sounds like they'd welcome a Jewish cultural center </sarc>

first of all, Hamtramck (or hamtown as we Detroiters call it) is a small enclave in the middle of Detroit...
last time I checked Detroit is no where near lake erie...
and there are still more pollocks in hamtown than mussies..
and yes you can still get Kowalski ham in the stores..
