Dearborn, Michigan, was back in the national spotlight last month after a far-right protest spiraled into street clashes, a near-Quran burning, and the latest debate about religion, identity and political extremism in America's largest Muslim-majority city.
The drama began when Jake Lang – a January 6 rioter, newly pardoned by Donald Trump, and now a long-shot Republican US Senate candidate in Florida – arrived in Dearborn with an entourage, cameras, and a self-styled 'anti-Sharia' crusade.
He carried bacon in one hand and a Quran in the other, marching through the city center in combat gear and trolling locals, daring them to confront him. They did.
A series of scuffles broke out almost immediately. Shouts filled the air. Police monitored from a distance as Lang taunted counter-protesters and threatened to burn the Quran for the cameras.
One counter-protester finally snapped, landing a punch on the side of Lang's face. Lang laughed it off, telling reporters he had been 'punched harder by Capitol police officer ladies,' as the assailant darted across a busy street and vanished.
The skirmishes continued as Lang tried several times to light the Quran on fire. Video shared online shows him flicking a lighter beneath the holy book, only for counter-protesters to smack it out of his hands again and again.
At one point, he tapped the Quran with a slab of bacon – a provocative and offensive gesture – until a counter-protester snatched the book entirely and sprinted away.
Lang pressed on with his message. He told reporters and later a Dearborn city council meeting that white Americans were being 'outbred' by immigrants, warned that 'there can be no room for sharia law' in the US.

He should have brought a cardboard cutout of a giant circle, saying that’s how large Muhammad’s butthole was after his gay rendezvous with the men from Al Zuut, with Lionel Richie’s All Night Long playing a n the background, and dared the invaders to defend their own “holy” writings.
He’s 100% correct. We don’t want that shxt here and get out.
Both have 5 letters. Coincidence?

Just wrap the Koran in bacon first.
Throw the bacon grease on them instead.
