DEARBORN, MI — A pair of dueling demonstrations unfolded along Schaefer Road and Michigan Avenue on Tuesday, Nov. 18, as anti-Islam activists and pro-Muslim counter-protesters clashed in front of a heavy police presence before moving toward Dearborn City Hall for the evening council meeting.
The city, home to one of the largest Muslim populations in the United States, has recently become a repeated target for out-of-state activists who falsely claim it operates under “Sharia law.”
The tensions began when Jake Lang, a Jan. 6 rioter who has described himself as a political prisoner, arrived on Michigan Avenue attempting to burn a Quran.
Lang tried several times to ignite the book, holding it up with a lighter, but counter-protesters repeatedly knocked it from his hands.
At one point, Lang stepped into the center of Michigan Avenue and tapped the Quran with a slab of bacon before a Muslim counter-protester snatched the book and ran off with it.
Lang’s group later marched toward City Hall ahead of the 7 p.m. meeting.
Curtis Hertel, chair of the Michigan Democratic Party, released the following statement.
“Attempting to burn a religious document is an unacceptable act of hate,” Hertel said. “Dearborn is a beloved, multicultural city with tens of thousands of people who are cherished friends, family members, and neighbors.”

Headline is intentionally misleading. According to the article and video at Not the Bee, the Muslims were the ones doing the "clashing".
At some point there will be a hot war with Muslims in our country....

The author of this biased propaganda piece is a jihadi.
“Attempting to burn a religious document is an unacceptable act of hate,”
Would he say the same thing if it had been a KJV bible?
BS! The leftists can burn Bibles and it’s all okay with the mayor. Sharia Law is real there.
It’s coming.
I never got why they all live in Dearborn? It is not a desert climate especially from around now until March-ish. Like the Somali trash in Minnesota,
“ tapped the Quran with a slab of bacon
…that’s funny
Once muslims get the vote its too late for mon muslims. Non muslims should have thought of his 25 years ago. Twenty years ago parts of Dearborn looked like Tehran.
As has been mentioned by some of the comments above, it is the koranimals that seem to have the shortest fuses. We all should keep in mind that their solution to many things is to kill the ‘offending’ person(s).
So if one attends an anti-koranimal rally and some of these 6th century types show up, it would be wise to expect violence. Even wiser to be packing.
