Michigan pastor Lorenzo Sewell delivered a blistering address at a Dearborn City Council meeting this week, accusing local leaders of allowing the city to fall under Sharia law.

Sewell stepped to the microphone and seemed intent on refusing to bend the knee in his messaging. It's impossible to overstate the amount of courage it takes to make this kind of stand.
"America, we have lost this city,” he declared, his tone rising with urgency. “This is a city that is no longer under American laws; we are under Sharia law. We will not have it anymore.”
"Enough is enough!"
The weight of his words hung in the air as he pressed the point that the city had crossed a dangerous line.
Sewell reminded the council that Muslims represent only a small percentage of the nation and warned that Dearborn’s direction threatens the core principles of American life. He demanded that each member state say whether it would renounce Sharia Law before his time was up, then walked back to his seat, greeted by a smattering of boos but mostly cheers.
The pastor also referenced an assault by Muslim counterprotesters on anti-Islam activist Jake Lang, accusing law enforcement of not doing enough to bring the attackers to justice.
“You are not up under American law. You are up under Sharia law. That is the reason why you have made no arrests,” Sewell asserted.
Law enforcement did arrest one individual in the case, and they are looking for further information about others. Has the police response been adequate? Sewell clearly doesn't think so.
The pastor’s fiery speech captured the deep and growing concern that Dearborn has steadily drifted away from the rule of law that binds this nation together.
Dearborn, as our readers are well aware, is home to the largest American Muslim population per capita, as well as the largest mosque in North America.
Pastor Sewell's warning echoes the words of former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who gave her own fiery speech in December warning about radical Islamist ideology.
"In places like Dearborn, Michigan, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, Islamist clerics are openly pushing this Islamist ideology, trying to recruit and radicalize young people," she explained.
"Earlier this year, there was a conference that was held representing organizations like the Council on American Islamic Relations, also known as CAIR, which issued a call to action to use American legal and political systems to implement Sharia law," added Gabbard. "This is already underway in places."
Dearborn appears to be one of those places.
Eagle-eyed readers will recognize Sewell as the head pastor at the 180 Church on Detroit's west side, and the man who delivered the emotional opening prayer at President Trump's second inauguration.
He is certainly a passionate preacher. Everyone watching American cities being inundated with Sharia law as if it has any legal binding in this country should be equally passionate.

Every single mooselimb should be kicked out of the United States Of America for good, along with the rest of the planet.
Hope Pastor Sewell has good security and protection around him.
It is time for the US Congress to outlaw sharia law across the Country and limit muslim immigration substantially.

CLEAR violation of the constitution- Where are the authorities to put a stop to this? (Don’t expect n answer)
Hes lucky they didnt arrest him and make him disappear.
“It is time for the US Congress to outlaw sharia law across the Country and limit muslim immigration substantially.”
The Arab money paying those criminals in congress make certain that no such law will be passed.
A very courageous man. I applaud him!
Hope it inspires others.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!
DEPORTEM ALL!
I thought colonization was a crime against humanity.
Yeah, because free speech now requires armed guards. I wonder who made that “improvement” to our imperfect union?
Since Dearborn is pretty much under the control of an evil, false religion, I thought he would have been arrested already.
I hope he has good security from his crypto investors. They got wiped out.
Only when white people do it.................
Vegans, most likely.
The Islamists understand the making of martyrs. They are pros at it.
Unfortunately I think we are stuck with the Muslims here for now but we can stop any new ones from coming in.
Only men on Dearborn City Council ?
but will the Evil MSM cover this to show the Pure Hate of sharia law ? Nope
