Dearborn’s Muslim mayor tells Christian he’s ‘not welcome’ in debate on honoring pro-terror Arab leader

At a Dearborn City Council meeting last week, Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud told local resident Edward "Ted" Barham, a Christian, that he was "not welcome" in the city after Barham raised concerns about new street signs honoring Arab American News publisher Osama Siblani.

FOX 2 Detroit reported that the signs honoring Siblani were placed at intersections on Warren Avenue by Wayne County, not the City of Dearborn. But the mayor escalated the debate, telling Barham, "Although you live here, you are not welcome here."

Barham introduced himself as "Ted Barham, Dearborn resident," and objected to two intersections being renamed after Siblani.

Mayor Hammoud responded with remarks that shocked many in attendance. "The best suggestion I have for you is to not drive on Warren Avenue or to close your eyes while you’re doing it. His name is up there and I spoke at a ceremony celebrating it because he’s done a lot for this community," Hammoud said.

He went further, accusing Barham of being "a bigot, and you are racist, and you’re an Islamophobe," before declaring: "Although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here. 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 this city."

Dearborn is a good example of what muslims have to offer the USA, England and Europe.

The Islamic invasion of the US continues. It’s only a matter of time before their invasion becomes violent. Just looks what actions they are now perpetuating in the UK, UE and Scandinavian countries.

Dearborn is enemy occupied territory.

Sounds like the NG, ICE and Federal Marshals need to "pay a visit".

"pro-terror Arab leader"

That's redundant you know, twice even.
