But Dearborn is a lot closer than Beirut, Damascus or Cairo. And while this Detroit suburb may be better known as the hometown of Ford Motor Co., its also where the Mideast meets the Midwest. (Snip) People dont understand to what extent world cultures feed and learn from each other, said Anan Ameri, director of the museum. America is a country of immigrants.

Pray for Michigan. Pray for the blue states. Pray for America. Pray for the world.
Only when all God’s children come to Him will we be set free.

I was in the unfortunate position of working with several of these “immigrants” as a contractor in Iraq. They brought their socialist attitude with them when they emmigrated from the ME, and believe that everything is owed to them.

No one I know believes me when I tell them how bad it is in Dearborn. I lived there from 2004 to 2008 and couldn’t get out of there fast enough. I couldn’t read the signs on the stores down Shafer-all in arabic. And heaven help me if I wore shorts in public.

I agree. An oasis is a refreshing place to find. There are a lot of words that could be used to describe the muslim presence in Dearbornistan but oasis isn't one of them...

...religious freedom in the constitution doesn’t trump threats TO the constitution.
Islam by it’s own words is seditious, and seeks the overthrown of our government and constitution.
and, if that’s not enough, the Quran’s own words qualify as hate speech, by ANY standard.
