Four Christians were arrested and thrown out of a public Arab festival in Michigan – and at least two people claim a crowd cheered "Allahu Akbar!" while the Christians were led away in handcuffs for doing nothing more than engaging in peaceful dialogue and videotaping the event.
Nabeel Qureshi, David Wood, Paul Rezkalla and 18-year-old Negeen Mayel attended the 15th annual Dearborn Arab International Festival on June 18 in Dearborn, Mich., where an estimated 30,000 of the city's 98,000 residents are Muslim.
The American Arab Chamber of Commerce announced the event was expected to draw "over 300,000 people from across the country, Canada and the Middle East." The festival covers 14 blocks and is free and open to the public.
Qureshi and Mayal are former Muslims who are now Christians. Mayal's parents emigrated from Afghanistan. Wood is a former atheist. All are from a Christian group called Acts 17 Apologetics.
In the following video after the arrest, Qureshi said his group took "extra precautions" to prevent disruptions by not handing out pamphlets and to speak only to people "who first approached us":

Well its still kinda a free country now and free speech is kinda of defended. So why complain?
24”The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. 25And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. 26From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. 27God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 28’For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
29”Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by man’s design and skill. 30In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. 31For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead.”
Would it be defended if the Christians had brandished cartoons of Allah?
We have a crypto-Muslim chief executive and Christians are surprised at being treated as Dhimmis? Really? Welcome to the caliphate, now down on your knees!!
Exactly!
Demonic Forces are out in full swing!

“Sue the bastards”
There is no freedom under islam.
Westboro Baptist is not a Christian organization. It is a Democrat lawyer cabal.
They find it in their manifest to protest Iraq war funerals because they oppose the war yet they cannot witness to muslims in Dearbornistan.
They certainly didn’t avoid Michigan because they don’t like legal fights.
LOL!!! I thought some Christians cuffed a Jehovah’s witness and couldn’t figure out who would be shouting “Allahu Akbar”
Constitutional violation?
And yet Phelps freely disrupts the funerals of our Country’s fallen heroes.
This is sick crap.
This is billed as an “Arab Festival”, not a Muslim festival. Not all Arabs are Muslims so everyone should have been welcomed.
