Same here...but I've family from Dearborn and worked in Dearborn for the past decade. The only way your view is closer than mine is if you lived in Dearborn.

So tell us all, how does your experience trump mine?

Which is applicable to your opinion of a Detroit suburb exactly how?

Next time you wrap yourself in the American flag, try also carrying a cross with you.

If that's not what they were trying for, then why did they bring a camera and video tape it?

Why are there no other videos of them attempting to save souls among catholics or jews or episcopalians or buddhists or amish?

If they were really "missionaries", then they would go back to Dearborn to save souls - and this time WITHOUT the camera. Instead, they chase publicity through lawsuits. Very Westboro of them.
I expect nothing less from christers; what would their Jesus have done?
Certainly not insult those of another religion.
Hypocrisy, nothing but.

so you saying there isn't a muslim problem in Dearborn? Seriously? Are you legally blind or have some other handicap? honest question, because I don't want to be as ignorant as you by ASSuming there is no handicap involved here.
Way to go RD...ignore the questions and start slathering the name-calling.

And no...there ISN'T a muslim problem in Dearborn.

In fact, why don't you tell us all what YOUR PROBLEM is with muslims in Dearborn? I've got to assume it's a really big issue, what with you being as close as 2000 miles to the city.

name calling? Afraid not, but nice try.. I called you out for ASSuming something. Don't like it? Stop doing it then.

as far as me having a problem with muslims? Last I checked, San Antonio was still in the US and still had full Consitutional protection, so I don't care for that particular cult. I really don't care what you or anyone else think of my opinion either. I just don't like seeing bad things happen to a state I love and unions and the muslims are seriously hurting Michigan. Anyone with half a brain in the state knows that.

AAAANNNNDDD, there's RD's problem with Dearborn...Muslims exist there!

Yes, your bigotry is constitutionally protected...Congratulations, big guy!

But maybe someday you'll pull your head out of your ASSumption and get a clearer view of the situation (see how I didn't call you a name there?).

Really?

I'm looking for a new cult to support. Have you found any good ones that you'd like to share with us?

After dumping all over the rights of these innocent missionaries, I can't wait to see what these Bozos have to say for themselves.

From the linked article:

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.”

And yet every year there are Christian groups and ministers participating in the Arab (not Muslim) festival without any problems.
