Dearborn, Michigan: America’s canary in a coal mine?
American Thinker ^ | 26 Sep, 2025 | Eric Utter

Sad ironies, given Dearborn's storied history.

The Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Michigan, sports a population of about 100,000 people.

It’s the birthplace of Henry Ford and the longtime world headquarters of the Ford Motor Company.

Per the 2020 census, slightly more than half of its population is of North African or Middle Eastern ancestry, the highest percentage of Muslim residents in the United States. Its current mayor, Democrat Abdullah Hammoud, is a Muslim who was born in Dearborn.

As I noted in an earlier piece, a Christian minister named Ted Barham recently showed up at a City Council meeting to protest the renaming of two intersections in honor of Osama Siblani, a local journalist … and supporter of terrorism.

According to reporting from Fox News and The Blaze: Barham cited articles in which Siblani had written that “the blood of the martyrs irrigates the land of Palestine” and opined that everyone should fight within his means, including “with stones, others … with guns, others … with planes, drones, and rockets.”

Barham understandably stated: “I feel like having that sign up there is almost like naming a street Hezbollah Street or Hamas Street.”

The Dishonorable Mayor proceeded to call Barham a “bigot,” a “racist,” and an “Islamophobe. He added: “Although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here. And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of this city.”

Hammoud’s new campaign video is subtitled in Arabic. For that matter, so is most of Dearborn.

May the flushing of 100,000 Korans be heard throughout the land.

Muslim religion seeks dominance not coexistence. Dearborn is a cultural and civil rights disaster waiting to happen. The Christian speaking was treated as if he doesn’t have standing in that city. It will get worse.

We failed when we no longer sought a melting pot, and opted for a salad bowl.

Horrible. So many fond memories of Dearborn, I can’t list them all. The demonic destroyers of civilization are in control now. They are not interested in dialogue. Listen to the words of the mayor.

But I’m sure you will be able to choose to belong to any religion … as long as it is Islam.

These animals and the politicians that support them lean on Freedom of Religion to allow this nonsense. Islam is not a religion. It’s an ideology rooted in oppression.

Remember friends, “The ONLY difference between a muslim and a radicalized muslim is how devoutly they are willing to follow their own religious beliefs”. When they go devout you better look out.

“So many fond memories of Dearborn...”

Me too, It’s how I ended in MI as a child, my father worked for Ford and was transferred around the Midwest and we moved more times than an Army brat as his job was to open new car dealerships at the time. He took me down on Saturdays to what they called “the washer and dryer” buildings at the time, met a lot of Ford race car drivers as they always had meetings on the weekends, great memories of yesteryear that kids today will never know.

When they pray in the streets, aren’t they worried that a garbage truck could run over them then come back and load them up.

Islam is not a religion. This must be made very clear and vigorously so. Islam is a POLITICAL MOVEMENT, calling itself a religion. And like many other political movements like Nazism and communism, it has spread by force and bloodshed. No true religion involves committing bloody jihad against unbelievers.

The sooner we stop calling Islam a religion, the better.

I worked from 92-97 in west Dearborn, near Michigan and Outer Dr, at the time the MEs were all in east Dearborn. And we still got the joy of dealing with them, nothing but disrespect and lies flowed from their mouths. I saw this day coming then, and my interactions with them over the years has unfortunately increased with their numbers. I constantly hear folks all inflamed over the Muzzies, but their “Christian” cousins are in some ways much worse. When you realize we did this to ourselves......SMH.

“Dearbornistan” - yep ... been calling it that for a decade.

A cesspool of koranimals that must be eliminated or at least contained.
