Please do tell how these "religious police" are going to enforce their "law" across Europe, and supplant European laws.
Has it occurred to you that:
* You might have an axe to grind against Islam? Please share.
* Islam, or any religion, could have its fundamentalist wackos just as Christianity does?
* The call for violence by fundamentalists is not supported by the religions themselves?
* Christian fundamentalists hope for a Christian world and would install theocracy in America if they could?
* There are other Muslim-hate threads already in existence?

It's obvious from the video that these aren't all recent immigrants. Some in the video are fair skinned red haired Englishmen who converted to Islam. If Sharia law can take a foothold in London communities then why do you feel it's too much a stretch of the imagination that they might try to start it here?
What does this have to do with DEARBORN???

No.

So quit worrying, and don't be such a sucker for propaganda.

Why not just leave them alone, since they are Americans minding their own business, until something actually happens there?
These folks haven't even stepped foot in Dearborn in their lives, yet they know all about it.

I love Dearborn myself. It's one of the coolest towns in SE Michigan, and i spend lots of time there when i'm back in the D. I love the people...yea, even the ARABS (Aaaaarrrggggghhhhh). It's always been one of my favorite towns, and the Arab population has revitalized the city and kept it from dying.

No kidding. People who actually live, or have lived in the Detroit area love Dearborn, just like we love Greektown and Hamtramck.

If I were to be uncharitable, I would guess that the other sort of poster, the Muslim-baiting sort, has a nostalgia for when the Ford family controlled everything in the city, and perhaps also for the tenure of Orville Hubbard. But it's more likely they don't know enough of what they're talking about to know who he was.

The old Hubbard Administration is EXACTLY what some of these folks long for. I can still remember those times quite well. I wouldn't set foot in Dearborn back when the white folks were running it except MAYBE to go to Fairlane....and even then i didn't want to spend my money there.
