Well that's fine, because it doesn't. And no Christian would ever say it did. It's just sad that you could post something like that while also taking a zero-tolerance stance against any criticism of the muslim world that is posted on this forum. Whatever it is you're actually looking for, hopefully you can find it one day and be happy.
I'm quite happy.
And I don't have to be a hateful, judgmental xian to be so.
Care to show me about my "zero-tolerance stance against any criticism of the muslim world that is posted on this forum."
Empty words, with no content.
That's pretty sad... obviously the camera crew were in the right... why the fear of the camera? If you have something to say to the world then you can say in front of the camera... the security took it way out of bounds by chasing away people with questions especially when it is an open festival to the public... the fact that the camera crew was arrested as well is shocking... they have some backward thinking people in Michigan...
Hold on...East Dearborn and the rest of Michigan, even West Dearborn, are very different places entirely.
If I came into your house uninvited, and started preaching to you about Islam. And you asked me to leave, and then called the police when I refused would my first amendment rights be violated?
Some of the statements made on this thread are so absurd as to be laughable. As if these people should allow these obnoxious bigots to harass them because why? Because they are Christians? Please, what a joke.
Has what to do with what? My home is my private property. The Streets of East Dearborn are public property. They do not become private property douring the festival. They are alway public property.
Do you even care that we were handed down a Constitution by people who died to preserve it?
I have no patience for mindless, spineless party sheep.
The ACLU supported Rush Limbaugh.
By your definition, he is a left of center demagogues and Anti-Christian/Jewish groups.
He does meet the weight requirement of group, so you may be right on.
If a group wants to have a law abiding festival in private, who are the media to stop that.
The media wouldn't be interested at all if they weren't muslims.
The rudeness of evangelizing during a festival is beyond the pale.
Only xians would consider that.
The streets of East Dearborn are not "in private".
Here's another account of what happened, without the inevitable right wingnut spin...
4 arrested at Dearborn festival | freep.com | Detroit Free Press (http://www.freep.com/article/20100619/NEWS02/100619014/4-arrested-at-Dearborn-festival - broken link)
Don't believe everything you read in the Detroit Free Press.
Or,
Niraj Warikoo?
Where have I heard that name before?
Oh, now I remember...
"Resident Muslim propagandist and “reporter†Niraj Warikoo knows better, but, hey, he got away with it. In a story on Rashida Tlaib, a Muslim woman elected to the Michigan House of Representatives, Warikoo reported as fact–TWICE!–that Israeli soldiers shot Tlaib’s grandfather during the 1967 war allegedly because he refused to leave their home and go to Jordan."
Mr. wingshirt could have contacted the Muslims at any time prior to the festival. He could have educated himself by sitting and talking to them like a man. His attitude wasn't humble, and genuine. Not everyone wants to be a Christian. I have never had a Muslim tell me that I am going to burn in hell if I don't get washed in the blood of Christ.
If you were in a Muslim country they would cut your head off for failing to convert to Islam.
The streets of East Dearborn are not "in private".
They are very much in PUBLIC!
If a marathon is being run in the streets of Dearborn, the public does not have a right to harass or interfere with the runners. The marathon organizers have made arrangements with the city to have private use of the public streets for that event and can regulate the activities, and ask the police to respond to behavior that disturbs the event. A street festival is no different. Everybody knows that.

Your turn...
There is no Muslim country in the world that does not have a non-Muslim minority living peacefully within it, without fear of having their heads cut off. Everybody knows that.
The Muslims don't even try to convert them. Your turn.

Not true. Countries in the Middle east differ greatly in their foreign policy. This is an ignorant, blanket statement on the highest level showing that you know very little about what you're attempting to talk about. Even during the Ottoman Empire, other religions lived in harmony together under an Islamic Empire.
Jordan is an example of a country in modernity with a high Christian population.
The middle east is not all Muslim. Moreover, minorities live just the same way they do in the West - as minorities. Often times, quite safely.
Take your xenophobia elsewhere.
