Dearborn, Michigan: America's First Sharia-Compliant Muslim Enclave?

Yesterday, (4/29/11) a Muslim mob of 50, disturbingly reminiscent of their co-religionists across a vast swath of official Islamdom, breached the security cordon at the City Hall in Dearborn, Michigan separating them from their speechifying nemesis, Pastor Terry Jones, breaking a barricade, throwing water bottles and shoes.

Fortunately, riot police restored order within minutes and took at least two people into custody.

Not surprisingly, this convulsive effort by local Dearborn Muslims to violently suppress "anti-Islamic" free speech was abetted by the craven dhimmitude of a useful idiot politician, Dearborn's mayor John B. O'Reilly, Jr., and worse still, the First Amendment-abrogating "ruling" by the 19 ^th Judicial District Court of Dearborn, which "restrained and enjoined" Jones from protesting Sharia near the city's supremacist mosque, i.e., the so-called Islamic Center of America.

Two years earlier, in June, 2009 Dearborn's Muslims -- also sanctioned by their dhimmi mayor O'Reilly and "enforced" by their Muslim police chief -- denied Sudanese Christian pastor George Saeig his constitutional right to peacefully distribute Christian religious literature during the annual Dearborn Arab International Festival. The steadfast legal intervention of the Thomas More Law Center was required for an entire year to finally overturn this anti-Constitutional travesty.

Richard Thompson of the Thomas More Law Center filed an appeal on behalf of Terry Jones on April 27, 2011 which initiated the appellate process of challenging the controversial show trial held in the Dearborn, Michigan District Court last week.

I maintain that these disturbing behaviors by Dearborn's Muslim population were foreshadowed by -- and now confirm -- local Muslim attitudes documented by polling data collected in 2003, and reported during 2004.

"The Detroit Mosque Study: Muslim Views on Policy and Religion," was conducted by Ihsan Bagby an Associate Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Kentucky and a fellow at the Institute for Social Policy Understanding -- a Muslim organization. Data were gathered during the summer of 2003 and published online in 2004.

These ominous findings were described on page 37 of the report,pdf:

Mosque participants were asked, whether they agree or disagree with the statement, "Shari'ah should be the law of the land in Muslim countries?"

Apply Islamic Law in Muslim Lands
Strongly Agree - 59%
Somewhat Agree - 22%

(i.e., collectively = 81%)

Somewhat Disagree - 8%
Strongly Disagree - 3%
Don't Know - 8%

Such data supposedly reflected the Detroit area (read Dearborn) Muslims views of "Islamic countries," only. But given the intrinsic, universally supremacist nature of Islam and the global umma (i.e., as stated in Koran 3:110, and the Orwellian-named Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Islam, "Ye are the best community that hath been raised up for mankind. Ye enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency; and ye believe in Allah"), once an area has a Muslim majority it is assumed by Muslims that Islamic Law should prevail -- hence the "enclave" phenomenon, even here in the United States.

All who oppose the threat of totalitarian Islam and the application of its heinous religio-political "law," Sharia, must support the noble effort of the Thomas More Law Center to uphold free speech and thwart Islamic supremacism in Dearborn, Michigan, USA.

No to Sharia-compliant Muslim enclaves in America!

The Thomas More Law Center defends the religious freedom of Christians.

[Arkansas Toothpick]

This is yet another reason why the Tenth Amendment really needs to be revived. If the morons in MIchigan want to let the Muzzies run wild, then so be it. Just keep them out of Arkansas.

It ain’t no wonder they need all those special foot baths.
As many shoes as they throw must be all of em walking around barefooted.

Hey Muslims...

If you do NOT the FACT that we have FREEDOM of RELIGION, you can go back from where you -- or the GOAT-F'ing ancestors came from.

If you want to ENSLAVE your wife and DAUGHTERS in BURKAS, be my guest -- but I want my wife and DAUGHTER to wear what THEY want to wear -- from jeans to a bikini.

Muslims, I hope I'm not to hard on you, but then I don't GIVE A DAMN!!! ;-)

The Religion of Peace sure wasn’t throwing daisies.
Dearborn is officially a lost cause, with their mayor, and police chief and their bending over backwards for the muzzies. Such as this story about Fordson High School, a once top notch school, now dominated by the Muslims of E.Dearborn, the HS football team practices from 11 pm to 4 am to observe their ROP principles, at the expense of the neighborhood.

Terry Jones (whatever you think of him) on frequent TV and radio interviews has been respectful, calm, stating his purpose,and stating his plans. The message board at Detnews.com a week ago had some of the most liberal, hate filled messages against Terry Jones, such as - Michgan State Police snipers should be poised on rooftops and if Terry Jones should reach in his pocket for something, shoot him down.
The Constitution is under attack in Dearborn, Mi. And it will be coming to your area too.

What if 100,000 of us descended on the place armed?

We can't even keep these sick fXXCX out of Kentucky? Lost. We're lost.

[fuzzylogic]

Here in Michigan - we see what’s going on, they live in a bubble, don’t know what the rest of Michigan is really like.

I used to think the Pastor was misguided...starting to gain respect for the man though. He’s proving his point well.

Notes on Sharia Law

(http://www.religioustolerance.org/islsharia.htm)

Sharia law: founders and schools:

Perhaps the two greatest original founders of Sharia law were Malik ibn Anas and Ibn al-Shaf’i. Anas established the Maliki school of jurisprudence. Al-Shaf’i was one of Anas’ students; he disagreed with his teacher about the reliability of the hadith. He felt that it was necessary to trace each hadith from the time of Muhammad through its chain of devout Muslims. This concern led to Islamic scholars considering “... which hadith were true and which were not.” Needless to say this led to conflicts among scholars as to the proper application of Sharia law.

Ibn al-Shafi’i promoted the use of additional sources for Shari’a law:

The technique of “... reasoning by analogy in order to develop new laws from existing laws.” As the culture evolves, new types of problems emerge that need to be dealt with. Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) used to prevent the development of a severely defective human embryo is one example.

The technique of accepting the consensus of a Muslim community. The reasoning is that Allah would not allow an entire community to be in error on a basic Islamic principle.

There are four main schools of Sharia law:

Hanbali: This is the most conservative school of Shari’a. It is used in Saudi Arabia and some states in Northern Nigeria.

Hanifi: This is the most liberal school, and is relatively open to modern ideas.

Maliki: This is based on the practices of the people of Medina during Muhammad’s lifetime.

Shafi’i: This is a conservative school that emphasizes on the opinions of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad.

What applies within one school of Sharia law does not necessarily apply in the other schools. For example, the Maliki Law School accepts evidence of pregnancy as proof that an unmarried woman has either committed adultery or been raped. The other schools “... do not recognize evidence of pregnancy as proof of Zina [Adultery].”

Recent history:

The Constitutional Rights Foundation notes that:

“In the 19th century, many Muslim countries came under the control or influence of Western colonial powers. As a result, Western-style laws, courts, and punishments began to appear within the Sharia. Some countries like Turkey totally abandoned the Sharia and adopted new law codes based on European systems...Modern legislation along with Muslim legal scholars who are attempting to relate the will of Allah to the 20th century have reopened the door to interpreting the Sharia. This has happened even in highly traditional Saudi Arabia, where Islam began....Since 1980, some countries with fundamentalist Islamic regimes like Iran have attempted to reverse the trend of westernization and return to the classic Sharia.”

Within Sharia law, there are a group of “Haram” offenses which carry severe punishments. These include pre-marital sexual intercourse, sex by divorced persons, post-marital sex, adultery, false accusation of unlawful intercourse, drinking alcohol, theft, and highway robbery. Haram sexual offenses can carry a sentence of stoning to death or severe flogging...

Sharia law has been adopted in various forms by many countries, ranging from a strict interpretation in Saudi Arabia and northern states of Nigeria, to a relatively liberal interpretation in much of Malaysia.

Sharia law is intended to be only applicable to Muslims. Christians and other non-Muslims are supposed to be exempt from the provisions of the law; this is a provision that is not universally followed.

If they must obey Sharia Law then they must have the right to establish an Islamic state somewhere else but where, I have no idea and personally, I don’t care!
