Detroit is not a big center for Moslems. You might be thinking of Dearborn's Arabs or Hamtramack. But many, if not most, of those of Arab descent in that area are Christian. Moslems are the LEAST of Detroit's problems.

Unsafe neighborhoods are not unusual for cities. Those who want to cower in the suburbs are welcome to do so. Most of the fear of crime in the cities is wildly overblown by media hysterics. My neighborhood in Chicago is likely safer than your home town. Most of the crime is concentrated in a few areas even a few blocks in cities.

Detroit has excellent restraunts, an fine art museum and one of the top ten orchestras in the nation. It also has professional sports teams, one of the largest commuter universities in the country and plenty of culture for those who care about such matters.

You believe swearing never to go there is not an insult? If I said I would never set foot in your home you would most definitely take that as an insult. Your comments merely make FR look like a gathering place for the misinformed or silly but certainly affects no one personally.

Highly unlikely. I live in a very small town in the middle of nowhere compared to Chicago. We don't have crime. I feel absolutely safe walking down any street in my town after dark. I'd not feel safe at any time walking down most streets in Chicago.

Detroit has ...

All of which can be gotten elsewhere without a trip to Detroit

Why? I don't know you. Why would I want you in my house? I actually take it as a good sign that you won't come here. That means you are minding your own business and not invading my space. How can that be insulting to anyone?
