In February Steven Stalinsky, a Wall St Journal contributor, penned an article in which he described Dearborn MI as America's Jihad Capital. It's not without merit.
Thousands march in support of Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. Protesters, many with kaffiyehs covering their faces, shout “Intifada, intifada,” “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” and “America is a terrorist state.” Local imams give fiery antisemitic sermons. This isn’t the Middle East. It’s the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Mich.Read the whole thing.Almost immediately after Oct. 7, and long before Israel began its ground offensive in Gaza, people were celebrating the horrific events of that day in pro-Hamas rallies and marches throughout Dearborn. A local headline describing an Oct. 10 event at the Ford Performing Arts Center read “Michigan rally cheers Hamas attack.” Imam Imran Salha of Dearborn’s Islamic Center of Detroit told the crowd that Israel’s past actions have put “fire in our hearts that will burn that state”—Israel— “until its demise.” In May 2023, Mr. Salha had urged his congregation to say “amen” in agreement with his prayer that Allah “eradicate from existence” the “sick, disgusting Zionist regime.” In October 2022, according to the Washington Free Beacon, his organization received $150,000 in funding from the Homeland Security Department’s nonprofit security grants program.

Ahmad Musa Jibril is perhaps the most influential English-speaking jihadi sheikh. From his home in Dearborn he promotes holy war to his tens of thousands of followers on Twitter and Telegram. On Oct. 7, the day Hamas slaughtered 1,200 Israelis and took almost 200 hostage, a Twitter account bearing his name retweeted a post that said, “The hearts haven’t been overjoyed like this in so long.” This account also posted a tweet imploring Allah to “purify the land from the aggression of the apes, swines, and hypocrites.” He later recorded a video calling on Muslims in the West to start normalizing the term “jihad” by using it frequently “on your social media, and in the mosques.” He has called President Biden a “senile pharaoh.”
Of course, denizens of Dearborn took issue with that but then they went out and validated Stalinsky's point.
Muslim protesters were heard chanting 'death to America' and 'death to Israel' during a rally in a Michigan city dubbed the 'jihad capital' of the US by the Wall Street Journal.
Demonstrators gathered in the city in commemoration of Al-Quds Day in support of Palestine and to oppose Israel.
The protest came less than a week after seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen were killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, drawing global outrage. Video shared by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) shows Tarek Bazzi, a local activist, delivering remarks at a podium as chants of 'death to America!' sound in the background.
...'It's not just Genocide Joe that has to go,' Bazzi said in reference to President Biden.
'It is the entire system that has to go. Any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen, and would support it – such a system does not deserve to exist on God's Earth.' Bazzi then directed his attention to Israel.
'So when these fools ask us if Israel has the right to exist...the chant 'death to Israel' has become the most logical chant shouted across the world today,' he said.
Audience members then repeated the chant.
Bazzi explained that the rallies have become 'so anti-American' because 'it's the United States government that provides the funds for all of the atrocities.'
In the wake of the October 7 attacks on 1,000 Israeli citizens, protests erupted in Dearborn - supporting the Palestinian side.There was more
Bazzi’s speech was followed by remarks from Michigan Iman Usama Abdulghani, who called Israel an "evil settler colonialist project" and a "cancer" while applauding those who are willing to publicly criticize the country."Any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen, and would support it – such a system does not deserve to exist on God's Earth.""Israel is ISIS, they are Nazis, they are fascists, they are racists," Abdulghani said. "The people of the world now know this."
Protesters were then heard chanting "Free Palestine" and "From the river to the sea," a controversial phrase classified as "hate" by the American Jewish Committee.
And there it is. The ultimate goal. Israel and the US are to be destroyed. It's nice when they tell you what they want and this needs to be taken seriously. Europe is in deep trouble because it didn't.

There’s a reason why we Michiganders call it Dearbornistan.
If only we had some sort of Federal agencies with jurisdiction that could step in regarding people who chant “Death to America” like they’re associated with Islamic radical cells inside the country.
Hahahahahaha - I crack myself up. Just kidding. That kind of stuff isn’t a priority.
Just for the record, as it usually is ignored respective to Dearborn Muslims, the other side of Detroit, Sterling Heights, also has a huge population of immigrants from Iraq - but they’re Chaldean, Iraqi Christians.
Why are these guys allowed to stay in America?
As I’ve been saying for the last few years, there’s no reason for our youth to enlist to fight enemies foreign when they are now DOMESTIC.

Could you imagine how fast federal agencies would go to DEFCON1 if a bunch of ‘caucasians’ gathered in one place and started shouting “death to america”???
Maybe we should try it....hhhmmmm?
Many people who refuse to learn history allow OBAMA NONSENSE to go on un-reported. Obama allowed all the Somali Muslime into America but he made sure they would only go to the Northern portions of northern states which at the time were Conservative so he saturated the areaa with Somali Muslims thats how we got the “SQUAD “ as for the rest of them AOC you fools in NYC elected / voted her and re-elected her so you alone are to blame. As for the muslims thank Barack Hussien Obama for that crapola......
Of course not!
If you tick all the wrong check boxes (light skin, christian, cis gender, etc), you’re instantly on a terror watch list. You don’t even have to shout “death to america”.
Ironically, that’s pretty much the opposite that someone in that category would shout, which isn’t irony at all. The enemy of the marxists is the law-abiding, tax-paying patriotic natural-born citizen.
As I’ve been saying for the last few years, there’s no reason for our youth to enlist to fight enemies foreign when they are now DOMESTIC.

But...but...we have to fight them over there or we’ll be fighting them here.
That McCain crap was always BS.
When different nations create a lot of different wars, you can expect refugees from those countries.
And now we're flooding them into our country and even putting them into our government!
Can American citizens be more stupid or are we trying to destroy ourselves ???
That first Muslim president Obama said he "had a plan for America" .... and it was not for our good!
What do folks think the war on crime is?
The Arab/Nazi Bund
They were chanting “death to America” as well. They should be rounded up and dumped in an Islamic hellhole.
And for the record, several years ago, they protested en masse the approval to allow a mosque to be built in Sterling Heights.
