I don't get it. Why is Fred Phelps/Westboro Baptist "Church" allowed to protest at funerals holding hate signs and everybody says it's his right under the Constitution but suddenly these Constitutional rights are questionable when it's Terry Jones doing the protesting (minus the hate signs)?

Perhaps because Dearborn is embracing Shaira law? And ignoring the BOR?

Have you ever been to Michigan? I can assure you that it is not under Sharia law.

Some people really need to get out and see the world.

Unfortunately, yes. I spent 5 years at school in Flint, with numerous visits to Detroit and Dearborn. While the state isn't under Shairia law, Dearborn is sure leaning that way.

We have had posters on this forum who live and work in Dearborn(istan) and they are quite clear that the Muslims there are very forceful about promoting the sharia. I'll take their eyewitness accounts over your assurances.

You don't know what the hell you're talking about. I don't believe that you've ever been to Dearborn.
