Anti-Islam activists and pro-Muslim counter-protesters clashed on Tuesday in Dearborn, Michigan, prompting a heavy police presence.
Dearborn, home to one of the largest Muslim populations in the country, has recently become a target for activists who accuse it of operating under "Sharia law," according to MLive.
The clash began when Jake Lang, who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, arrived on Michigan Avenue and attempted to burn a Quran, the outlet reported.
Lang held up a lighter attempting to light the religious text on fire, but counter-protesters knocked it from his hands.
Later, Lang slapped the Quran with a slab of bacon before a counter-protester grabbed the book and took off with it.
Lang and his group later marched toward City Hall ahead of the city council meeting Tuesday night.
Police maintained a perimeter on the sidewalks and along Michigan Avenue, intervening briefly when the clash escalated following Lang’s attempted burning of the book.
One person was seen being arrested at City Hall, according to MLive. No injuries were reported.
The chair of the Michigan Democratic Party, Curtis Hertel, condemned the attempted burning of the Quran.
"Attempting to burn a religious document is an unacceptable act of hate," Hertel said in a statement. "Dearborn is a beloved, multicultural city with tens of thousands of people who are cherished friends, family members, and neighbors."
Michigan gubernatorial candidate Anthony Hudson, a Republican, walked with supporters along the sidewalk as part of a demonstration that appeared unconnected to Lang's, according to MLive.
Hudson had initially planned a protest in Dearborn, calling it an "American Crusade" against "Muslim infiltration" and "Sharia Law," according to a news release from the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Brave. Incendiary. Legal.
When bacon is made illegal, only criminals will own bacon.
LOL!
I did appreciate the bacon slapping maneuver…
Was the koran thief apprehended and charged?
“Later, Lang slapped the Quran with a slab of bacon before a counter-protester grabbed the book and took off with it.”
If not, why not?
True.
Mr. Lang is a true hero for standing up to the mudslime invaders.
Wait till they learn about the Al-Zutt
“Mr. Lang is a true hero for standing up to the mudslime invaders.”

Mr. Lang is an idiot who likes to pour gasoline on fires. It’s no different from someone walking up to one of us and burning an American flag or bible. Chances are, somebody here would do the same.
“The clash began when Jake Lang, who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot,”.....
Fox News used the word ‘riot’ instead of ‘protest’. How MSM-Y of them. Also, as I read their article, the ‘clash’ began when someone committed battery on Lang when they knocked his lighter out of his hand.
Wonder why Lang didn’t smother the outside with bacon or sausage and then burn the inside. Now that would have been something to watch. The counter-protestor wouldn’t want to soil his/her hands with pork grease.
Where’s Vlad when you need him?
I tried everything in my power to warn America what was coming.
And the state did everything in their power to stop me.

What exactly was the point of this?
An expression of hatred for the US Constitution?
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”
This contains the two all-powerful clauses . . . the Establishment clause and the Free Exercise clause.
Now folks can certainly announce their hatred for Islam in America, but they are consequently obligated to also announce their hatred of the US Constitution. Did this guy explicitly do that?
Bkmk
"Attempting to burn a religious document is an unacceptable act of hate"
"American Crusade"
Soak it in bacon grease first. If they try and grab it imagine their surprise!
It is different. Islam is evil. It deserves ever bit of resistance we can offer. America is also a Christian nation. Islam has long been a traditional enemy of Christian Civilization.
