Ashura march in Dearborn draws the faithful in call for justice
Detroit Free Press via AOL ^ | 06/28/2026 | Niraj Warikoo, Detroit Free Press

Waving religious flags and holding signs calling for justice, Shia Muslims gathered and walked on Ford Road in Dearborn in a colorful display Sunday, June 28, that marked Ashura, a holiday recalling the death of a leader whose message resonates today with the faithful.

The procession started at Fordson High School, led by a group of young men who held by red flags that read "Ashura," referring to the 10th day of the Islamic month of Muharram, when a revered leader who is the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, Imam Hussain, died in battle against an unjust ruler.

Most of the faithful were dressed in black to symobolize the mourning of his death. Many held or waved black, red and green flags praising Imam Hussain, while others held up yellow signs that read: "We do not bow down to tyrants," "Never to Humiliation," "Every day is Ashura, Free Palestine," and "Your days are numbered — Justice is coming."

Part of the procession included a couple of rows of children holding up placards with photos of children killed in Lebanon by Israeli attacks. The event is one of the largest outdoor gatherings for Dearborn's Lebanese community, many of whom have been affected by attacks in southern Lebanon this year. While most of the flags on display were religious, some waved Lebanese and Palestinian flags in a show of solidarity.

"Who answers for the children of Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran?" a sign held by some participants read.

About 3,000 were expected to take part in the gathering, city officials said.

See, that’s what that liquid fart stuff is super useful for.

Stink bombs. Walk randomly through the crowd and drop them.

Guaranteed vomit.

Let's celebrate!..../sarc

WELL DUH!!! Do you understand we're in spiritual warfare???

HISTORY - 1400 years / over 200 MILLION innocent people murdered by Muslims!

“Muslims” A mass of people who carry a "holy" book that says to murder all Jews and Christians who won't bow to their prophet.
And now we're flooding them into our country and even putting them into our government.

Can American voters be more stupid or are we trying to destroy ourselves, our kids and grand-kids AND our future???

BTW - That first Muslim president Obama said he "had a plan for America" .... and it was NOT for our good!

Islam has declared war on the US. First they weaken and ultimately the government of the country they have invaded. After it has been weaken enough they begin to take control and either peacefully or violently take control and establish their Caliphate under Sharia Law. Looking at recent elections in the they are well under way of starting to take control of the US.

I read the book.
1 Kings 18 covers this pretty well.
Elijah vs. Prophets of Baal.

Safe in America, they side with the terrorists while the local Lebanese and Iranian’s under threat of death face up to their tormentors.

“ Who answers for the children of Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran”

If the goal is justice, the answer is: all members of Hamas, Hezbollah, the IRGC, the various mullahs, Quds forces, Basij, and the so-called college of experts. Plus judges and various other leaders in Iran.

I’ve often wondered how a can of home depot spray insulation would work.
Seems to stick to everything and makes a huge mess if not careful.
But that would be very bad.

We have an annual Sikh parade in my little Northern Commiefornia that draws about 250,000 Sikhs from around the world.
That parade is probably just Michigan islamists. YIKES.
