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.....

They were arrested for `disorderly conduct`. Which is a catch-all.

Cowards? Why? Because I was smart enough not to spend my whole life?

Clearly its a cancerous invasion.

The same should be said of the illegals coming from Mexico and then waving the Mexican flag in the streets.

This is not ‘immigration’ as it is portrayed. It is invasion. And the illegals and LaRaza do not deny this.

The Liberals think they will be able to keep the ‘stupid little brown people’ in check. That is why they support illegals.

This is because Liberals have no understanding of history.

True, much of the state is beautiful, but the corrupt pollitics and terrible business climate have just ruined that place. I suggest any good conservative leave. Life is too short to overcome all of the negativity up there.

They standard way to oppress Christians is to charge them with trespassing. That’s how they do it in Lynchburg, Virginia. Right LPD?

It’s called the Arab International Festival.
Our Slovak dance troupe was invited to dance. There were people asking (loudly) why we were there if we were not Arab.

We drove an hour to perform. Never again.

Had this been three leftists arrested for exercise of free speech the MSM would be all over it. Of course, this will be ignored.

That is all very true. The liberals have plans for the illegals, but the illegals have plans of their own, and liberals are too stupid and self-righteous to comprehend it.

And, liberals have thrown away whatever powers of reason they might have had in the name of PCness multicultural babble, so they are the most unqualified people on earth to discern they true intend of third world immigrants. Useful idiots and worse.

There are lots of states we could call crap holes based on a city within them. I’ve heard about Austin Texas and Atlanta Georgia but I’m not so stupid as to claim the whole state is that way

while I’m sure that this is probably true, how long do you think it will take the rest of the stste to go down the drain when the state’s main cities already have. Whet percentage of Michigan’s population live in Detroit and it’s major suburbs.....60-70-80.....it’s like Wisconsin and the Milwaukee area or Illinois and the Chicago metro area......everybody is there, the rest is farmland!!!

This year, the city of Dearborn banned the distribution of Christian literature near the festival.

If this law isn’t in violation of the First Amendment the constitution is worthless wall paper.

This needs to be shouted from the rooftops. And I can't understand for the life of me why Republicans are so #$%^&#@ intent on amnesty and won't speak out against illegal immigration.

The people who are going to be offended aren't going to vote for them anyway. I told 'Goober' Grahmnesty so in an e-mail, and surprise, no reply.

The heartening news is that there are Christian street wittnesses willing to go to hostile turf.

Michigan is not lost, any more than any other place.

The apostles faced adversity preaching the Gospel; everywhere they went was pagan, idolatrous or otherwise deceived by satan.

Is God less powerful today? I suspect not.

In my experience, you can often judge a story by what was omitted.

Were they on private property? Were they trespassing?

When I was a kid ( early 20’s) we did some street ministry. Later I did some prison ministry. After I got married and had kids I turned my back on the confrontational stuff and became a rural mushroom.

I know God supports and protects those that preach the Gospel among all nations.

The “Cypress Times” isn’t a real newspaper. It’s a blog. Thus, its writing is crappy by definition.

58 replies and the OP hasn’t bothered to answer a single question.

Yes, it’s bad writing. Really, really really bad writing. Right, OP?
