'Allahu Akbar!' shouted as Christians cuffed

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.

Wonder what would happen if a group of athiests were arrested and removed from a Christian event? Where is the ACLU on this?

The best place for Arabs to hold Arab festivals is, of course, Arabia.

I just think (as the Christians demonstrated) we should act better than they (the Muslims).

You are apparently a far better person than I. I will NEVER be kind to a muslim.

Should I have the misfortune of finding myself near a group of obvious muslims, and I hear them shouting “Allahu Akbar!”, while on the soil of my country, I will either die or be sent to prison.

Fortunately for me, I don’t visit places where these disgusting bugs gather.

More news about the Religion of Peace...

"Dr. Kim," the director of VOMedical, has been a medical professional for more than three decades. He's worked emergency rooms and performed autopsies. But none of the horrors he has encountered measures up to the devastation he found after radical Muslims attacked Dogo Nahawa and two other northern Nigerian villages last March.

The news of the Nigerian massacre in March 2010 was horrifying. More than 500 of our Christian brothers and sisters — 80 percent of them women and children — in three villages were slaughtered in one night! Days later, "Dr. Kim," VOMedical director, walked among the rubble of burned-out churches and viewed the sites of mass graves in northern Nigeria.

In more than three years of providing medical service for persecuted Christians for VOM, this is the first time that the word 'carnage' comes to mind.

How is the building of the Cathedral in mecca going? Oh....it’s not? Maybe we should rethink our priorities before our children will be fighting this horde in our streets.

Well I do have to say that Charles (The Hammer) Martel is one of my personal (historical) heroes (though that was a war of defence: AND thank God he won!).
