Sharia in the U.S.A.: Christians Jailed for Preaching to Muslims--Dearborn, MI Officials Sued
Thomas More Law Center ^ | 2/22/11

Posted on 02/22/2011 9:17:00 PM PST by marshmallow

The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) announced today that the City of Dearborn, its Mayor, John B. O’Reilly, its Chief of Police, Ronald Haddad, 17 City police officers, and two executives of the American Arab Chamber of Commerce were named as defendants in a ninety-six page federal civil rights lawsuit filed in the Federal District Court in Detroit this morning.

The lawsuit, brought by TMLC and co-counsel and Sharia law expert, David Yerushalmi, stems from two separate police actions at the June 2010 Dearborn, Michigan Annual International Arab Festival.

Richard Thompson, TMLC President and Chief Counsel, commented, “Muslims dominate the political and law enforcement process in Dearborn. It seems that police were more interested in placating the Mayor and Muslims than obeying our Constitution. Sharia law makes it a crime to preach the Gospel to Muslims. This is a classic example of stealth Jihad being waged right here in America. And it should be a wake-up call for all patriotic Americans.”

The first incident occurred on June 18, when police jailed four Christian missionaries when they witnessed Dr. Nabeel Qureshi, a Muslim convert to Christianity, peaceably discussing his Christian faith with Muslim youths. The other three, David Wood, Paul Rezkalla, and Negeen Mayel, were arrested along with Qureshi for allegedly “breaching the peace.” The Christians were led away in handcuffs by police to the applause and cheers of Muslim onlookers who just witnessed a victory of Sharia law over the Christians.

The second incident occurred on June 20, as two missionaries, Rezkalla and Josh Hogg, stood on the public sidewalk handing out the Gospel of John to passersby willing to take them. The Christians were there for approximately 5 minutes when eight City police officers descended upon them, seized them, and brought them to the police...........

Right here in America. Not Syria, Egypt, or Libya. America.

This is what eventually results from absolute and unfettered multiculturalism. This is the result of decades of allowing immigrants to come in willy nilly and not be expected to assimilate into American culture. The problem is that all religions are not created equal. Unlike Islam, Christianity does not seek to force conversion or adherence.

I have been saying for years that we are going to have to discriminate between religions. Our founders were either Christians or Deists. They never imagined that a religion with the precepts of Islam would ever be attempted to co-exist along with Christianity. They are mutually exclusive, if the highest goal in the nation is the preservation of individual liberty.

You are exactly right. We need to make sure that there is only one set of laws in this country, and it isn’t shariah. If they want shariah they can find it elsewhere.

You want to immigrate? Fine, do it legally, assimilate and become a citizen.

Call to prayer is a breach of peace. Sharia is a breach of sanity.

My Father in Law stayed with me for about a month a few weeks back and I showed him these arrests because he said I was too worried about Muslims taking over in America. He insisted that there must be more to the story for them to be arrested. I said no, they are just practicing their First Amendment rights on public property.

I also showed him the film of the Muslim going bonkers at the halal KFC in Australia. That scared him, but he said, well, that's Australia, not here. He's about 75 and fought in Korea and for whatever reason is a Dem. He will watch Fox News on mute and read the crawler at the bottom of the screen. He says he can't stand the screaming all day. When the chicken guy went berserk, he got pretty upset then. I said this has been going on for years, even after 9/11. I told him about the businesses that put in foot washers and rooms to pray in and he just dropped his mouth open. I had to pull up the Internet articles each time because he refused to believe it.

We have an education problem here, not just a common sense problem. Most people that get the info can make the proper judgment. When people find out that Sharia Law is practiced here in the US, and then find out what it is, they can usually come to the correct conclusions. I still think we need a crash course in High School about why an American female dare not marry a Muslim, however. They have no clue about all the women trying to get their kidnapped children out of Egypt or how many kids have been killed for wearing Blue Jeans. If there was no nookie for Muslims in the US, maybe they would go home, wherever that is. Then there is the problem of Muslim women marrying Muslim men in the US. Good God women, your in America, you don't have to be someones cow here. Why would you volunteer to be a slave? I guess getting acid in the face when you get a divorce makes sense to a person that believes God wants her to be one of many wives that are beat with a stick. I think that mag cover of the woman with the Afghan "nose job" should be posted in every high school in the country, just in case she gets the hots for Habib.

No surprise. Heck, they were talking about Mohammedans sharing Christian churches on Fox last Saturday. The “priest” said he consulted focus groups to see if it was a good idea. Everybody on Fox agreed that it was a good thing to talk; but that it probably wouldn’t work out well.

My head almost exploded in anger. They are talking about shating churches with an enemy that would kil them. Back in the days after Vatican II, Conservatives were denied ANY facilities to have Mass said. And still their is no place in the Church for people like me.

What do the five other Christian groups that participated in the festival have to say?

Although found Not Guilty. It appears there is much more here. With five other Christian Groups present at the festival. And a designated free speech area within the festival. Reminds me of the Anti_war protests a few years ago. IIRC Protest Warrior was unsuccessful in referencing similar complaints about Free Speech in a Public Place.

Europe is admitting multiculturalism (Islam) a failure.

* British prime minister David Cameron
* German chancellor Angela Merkel
* French president Nicolas Sarkozy

Now Dutch leader Maxime Verhagen, follows his European colleagues in declaring multiculturalism a failure.

Again from fella post: To paraphrase Singapore ..... “We can assimilate any religion except islam”.
