Michigan city is on edge as Wall Street Journal article brands it 'America's jihad capital' - with cops deployed to guard mosques and locals fearing Islamophobic revenge attacks

A Michigan suburb with the largest Muslim population in the US has upped its security in fear of hate attacks after it was branded America's 'jihad capital.'

The headline of a Wall Street Journal opinion piece published on Friday read 'Welcome to Dearborn, America's Jihad Capital' - a title given to the city by the publication because of its residents' pro-Palestine stances.

The contentious article was written by Steven Stalinsky, who is a commentator on terrorism and has served as executive director of the Middle East Media Research Institute, based in Washington DC, since 1999.

—”Two cultures can not exist in the same place at the same time unless one is overwhelmingly stronger. Muslim’s goal is to become the dominant culture not just in the US but everywhere they go.”

That needs to be stated more often.
Lots more.

It’s past time to ship them back to Somalia or whatever other sandpit they came from.

I think there are a couple of Mosques that do. That said, having an amplified message in public is allowed, for anyone, so it’s probably a difficult one to handle legally.

It’s also notable that you can’t go to a restaurant and get ‘pork anything’. Even the Thai places don’t serve ‘pork fried rice’. They advertise ‘Halal’ food. When I tell them what it means they’re (so they say) shocked.

I’m originally from the UK. Things seem far worse over there. That said, I’m not saying it’s ‘good’ in Dearborn.

Sorry for the loss of your former country. Churchills don’t grow on trees.

The good folks in Michigan voted for and allowed this to happen. I don’t think they’re on the edge, maybe celebrating.

PHOBIA: Excessive, extreme, irrational, fear or panic reaction about a situation, living creature, place or object.

Simplified, an unreasonable or unwarranted fear. Since it is neither unwarranted nor unreasonable to fear a socio-political system masquerading as a religion which demands that you be subjugated, enslaved or killed if you reject it, Islamophobia does not exist.

Debbie Schlussel began calling it Dearbornistan many years ago.

And there’s no truth to the rumors that all those sheep they’re hoarding have anything to do with the food supply.

My remaining family members, still over there, don’t seem to see it. Amazing what media messaging does to the masses.

The problem is Islam.

I don't have a problem with Chinatown in my city. I love Chinese food!

I agree. I have worked and gone to college in Dearborn for years. My son also now as an engineer. Only a few places that seem “sketchy” Never had a problem in Dearborn.

Ironically, this morning I read there’s a Michigan State Police report to the U.S. Justice Department detailing it is a financial hub supporting international terrorism groups, that there may be sleeper cells in the area, and requesting federal funds to deal with it.

That said, it doesn’t shock me - I think many of them make good money and don’t want crap happening in their own backyard.
