They are going to overpopulate us and tear us apart from the inside... this is their ultimate goal, and this is only the beginning.

Someone once said that America is moving away from being a 'melting pot' into becoming a 'salad-dish.'

Assimilation versus non-assimilation, versus forced assimilation. It seems Islam only goes for option 2 or 3. And number 3 is when they are doing the forcing.

Good ngiht.

"Like others in his mosque, Musad said, he was drawn to the Muslim community here not for its engagement with the rest of America, but for its distance.

"What attracted me was seeing school girls with veils and burkas," he said. "It's more authentic here than in New York, more roots. There's village life."

Gee, what a surprise, huh? If the city fathers that voted in favor of allowing the call to prayer to be amplified didn't anticipate some tension over their decision, They're even more out of touch than their vote indicates.

RIP Poletown.

Once an enclave of Polish immigrants, Hamtramck has since the 1990s become a haven for immigrants from Bangladesh, Yemen, Pakistan, Bosnia and other countries, including a large Muslim population. In the 2000 census, 41 percent of the city's population was born outside the United States.

This has Clinton Socialism written all over it. Traitor SOB.

"If Christians tried to do that, the ACLU would shut us down."

Don't expect help from the Anti-Christian Leftists Union. Islam is their friend and ally.

To each his own

Don't just sit there and wring your hands. Crank up the recall mechanism and throw the fools who did this out of office!

"Someone once said that America is moving away from being a 'melting pot' into becoming a 'salad-dish.'"

The Left wants us to "celebrate diversity". Meaning that they prefer the salad-dish to the melting pot. A unified society can take a stand against outside forces such as Marxism. A house divided cannot stand. The Left hates America and is trying to destroy it from within.

The irony is that, in the Brave New World that they are seeking, they will be some of the first to be destroyed by the new tyrants. After all, they will have outlived their usefulness and will only be a hindrance to future "progress".

[Porath]

Yes, we used to be a melting pot. Now we're just a garbage pail.

[Jaysun]

If there were ever a speaker within earshot of me that yakked Arabic in two minute intervals I'd shoot the damned thing out of the sky.

If a Christian church wants to ring it chimes it wouldn't be allowed, but if a mosque wants to do its eeeyayayaya it is welcomed as multiculturalism. Its time to end this kind of BS. If the Islami's don't like it they can pack up and go,

We are being invaded and our own stupid laws on immigration are the culprit.

I agree. They want to make us used to the Muslim culture. It must stop.

"I don't know what's going to happen to our little town," said Rutherford, 39.

"I used to say I wasn't prejudiced against anyone, but then I realized I had a problem with them putting Allah above everyone else," she said, of the plan to amplify the call to prayer, which mosques announce five times a day. "It's throwing salt in a wound. I feel they've come to our country, infiltrated it, and they sit there looking at us, laughing, calling us fools."

And you know the sun's settin' fast,
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
But hold on to your lover,
'Cause your heart's bound to die.
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town.
Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town,
Goodnight.
