A Michigan city with an all-Muslim council that made waves banning LGBTQ+ Pride flags on public buildings has removed two members of a city commission for breaking the new law.
Hamtramck, population 27,000, is an enclave surrounded by Detroit. More than 40 percent of residents were born in other countries, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and a significant share are of Yemeni or Bangladeshi descent.
On Tuesday, the council unanimously approved removing Russ Gordon and Cathy Stackpoole from the Hamtramck Human Rights Commission for flying the rainbow flag over a public sidewalk, with a member saying they 'defied the rule of law.'
It became the first city in America to have a majority Muslim population in 2015 and in January 2022, became the first to have an all-Muslim city council and mayor in Amer Ghalib.
In mid-June, the council voted to ban LGBTQ+ flags from publicly owned flagpoles after a tense hourslong meeting that raised questions about discrimination, religion and the city's reputation for welcoming newcomers.
hey also unanimously approved a ban on the commission flying any flags on city property.
'This Council believes in fairness, neutrality towards our residents, and the rule of law, amongst other things for this community. We passed a resolution recently to do just that, and two of our sworn commissioners outright defied it, and did what they wanted,' Councilmember Khalil Refai told Fox News.
Gordon was the chair of the commission, who's purpose is 'to promote mutual understanding and respect for multiculturalism and diversity, advocate for peace and justice and encourage tolerance and constructive communication.'

they aren’t afraid of the fdrq...
I think the Muslims who come here differ from those in France. They come here for the same reasons as other Americans -- economics, certain freedoms. They are willing to work & contribute, instead of exploiting the system or using this country as a dumping ground for unwanted wives or kids.
Not that I'm pro-Muslim; I still consider them a threat. But the ones here seem less tribal or hotheaded than those in the rest of the world. To a certain extent, like other minorities here, they have become acculturated.
Ironically, the leftists can't wrap around their empty heads the reason why "the enemy of my enemy" isn't necessarily "my friend."
I don't think so.
There are 2 key differences to why things haven't flared up here yet like in France.
1. Populations. They are about 10% of Frances population, vs about 1% here.
2. The 2nd Amendment.
Just wait until their population grows 10 fold here and they manage to effectively outlaw the 2nd Amendment with the help of the growing leftist's and illegal alien populations.
They wont be stopping at removing commissioners from local government.
Taqiyya. Look it up.
Gordon and Stackpoole? Uh, the not-muslims.
They could straighten out the mess in San Francisco in a matter of days.
Muslims are rarely a problem in small numbers and as screened and selected immigrants, but when concentrated or in large numbers in a country they tend to act like invaders intent on fulfilling Islam’s mission of domination.
Main stream media’s and the left’s silence on this will be very telling indeed
A shame that Christians can’t show the same boldness.
That’s a bingo!
Not just the country but all of Christendom is under constant assaults worldwide. And they are wining.
