So what's actually going on in Dearborn? Or is this just a general another anti-Muslim thread, with Dearborn being used as a cheap target because of its Arab-American population? Christian missionaries show up at events in Dearborn and scream insults about Islam and Arabs, people show up to burn Korans, and rabidly xenophobic clowns use the city as a scapegoat. Why not just leave them alone, since they are Americans minding their own business, until something actually happens there?

No, I ignore minimal threats.

Kind of like, I don't walk around and look up constantly in the chance I'll avoid an asteroid impact.

The odds of being killed by a terrorist, or being hit by a meteor are about the same.

BTW, you're avoiding my point, that the constitution prevents sharia law from becoming real effective government law.

When a U.S. city is also called 'Dearbornistan' it won't be too long before some local judge makes a decision in a law case that will conform to a part of Sharia law.

Spoken by someone in Sarasota Florida that doesn't know anything about the city.

Dearborn is awesome, and the arabs in that area are nothing but kind, respectful, and have some awesome food.

I worked late night in Detroit, and I was never scared to go into an arab owned gas station at 3 am and use the bathroom. I guarantee it was going to be clean, and they were thankful for my business.

People with uneducated opinions should really be left thought of as fools, instead of opening their mouths and removing all doubt.

So we should let them do whatever they please and subvert the US Constitution just because they are hard workers and make good food?

Asinine.

Muslims have been in Dearborn for GENERATIONS with no demands for Sharia Laws.

The whole madness about being taken over by Sharia Law is an example of the epidemic of ignorance, fear and hatred that has taken over American conservatives.
