Shouts of 'Allahu Akbar' as Christians arrested
DEARBORN, MICHIGAN -(ANS)-Three Christians were arrested today at the Arab International Festival as they shared their faith with Muslims. The three were arrested by police as they engaged in intense, but respectful dialog in which they proclaimed their faith in Christ.
"I never thought I would see this in America," says Steven Atkins, a resident of Toronto, Canada, who was visiting the festival and observed the incident.
The three arrested include Dr. Nabeel Qureshi, David Woods, and Paul Rezkalla. Dr. Quereshi is co-director of Acts 17 Apologetics Ministries. He holds an MD from Eastern Virginia Medical School and an MA in Christian apologetics from Biola University.
"When Dr. Quereshi was arrested I heard people clapping and applauding, and some said 'Allahu Akbar,'" Atkins said. There was a crowd of 15-20 people watching the exchange and subsequent arrest.....

*****This year, the city of Dearborn banned the distribution of Christian literature near the festival. Some accused the city of catering to its large Muslim population when the law was passed. On June 17, a three-judge panel from the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals granted an emergency motion on behalf of Pastor George Saieg, allowing him to distribute literature and talk about his faith to Muslims at the festival.****
And that state up north wonders why they are having the problems they're having.

The story fails to mention the crime that the people were arrested for. Was it bad reporting or are the cops still trying to figure out what crime was committed, other than “Not being Muslim” which probably is a crime in Michiganistan these days.

Just Detroit. Aside from Detroit Ann Arbor and a couple of the college towns, the rest of us are Americans.

WE must have lied (lied big in this case) to ourselves when we said immigrants were coming to America to be Americans, in search of a better life.
Clearly its a cancerous invasion.

Michigan is the biggest crap hole in the entire country. The place is getting exactly what it has earned. How do I know? I lived there for 30 years. To hell with that place.

The only thing that comforts me over a story like this is that Jesus wins in the end.

"It was an intense discussion, but it was not unruly," Atkins noted. "There was no threat of violence," he said. "It's becoming more restrictive here than in Canada." Note to self: cancel that trip to Michigan.

Yeah that's what I want to know, on what grounds did they arrest them? What happened to freedom of speech?
In this instance I'll make an exeption and hope some trial lawyer sues the cops and the Religion of Piece(tm) organizers.

I wonder if those were Muslim cops enforcing Sharia law.

Michigan is the biggest crap hole in the entire country.Hey, the whole state isn't a "crap hole." Just Detroit, Flint, and their suburbs. As someone up thread mentioned--the rest of us are Americans.
To: GinaLolaB
