Islamic Law Comes to Dearborn
Human Events ^ | 6/23/10 | Pamela Geller

Posted on 06/23/2010 9:46:56 AM PDT by reaganrevolutionin2010

Is it illegal to preach Christianity to Muslims in America now?

Acts 17 Apologetics, a Christian evangelistic group, was banned from passing out fliers at this year’s Arab Festival in Dearborn, Mich., but they went to the festival anyway and ended up getting arrested.

On Saturday, I got this message from David Wood of Acts 17: “Muslims threatened to kill Nabeel [Qureshi, an ex-Muslim and David’s colleague] and me if we showed up again at Arab Fest in Dearborn, so we went there yesterday. They didn’t kill us. Instead, police arrested us and we got to spend a night in jail (along with two others who were video recording us).”

Wondering if they were arrested for passing out fliers in defiance of the ban, I asked David about the ban. He answered, “Yes, we’re banned from handing out literature, but we didn’t do that. We followed the rules, and still got thrown in jail. They flat out lied about us. We can prove they lied with the video footage (just like last year), but the police took our cameras and won’t let us have the footage. There’s major oppression of anyone who criticizes Islam.”

Last year, Nabeel, David and friends went to the Arab Festival and filmed a video that went viral. It is amazing to see in that video what happened in America. It was free speech under siege.

Nabeel and David were harassed and intimidated, aided and abetted by law enforcement.

“police took our cameras and won’t let us have the footage” That’s disgusting. Next time they need a video sender & a guy in a car recording.

And for them to not tell the cops the footage is being transmitted, and let the cops think they can confiscate the recording while it's all being streamed to the internet in real time.

that needs to be the new medium.

the left can trust the cops. A conservative cop won’t steal their cameras.

We can’t trust the cops in a place like Dearborn.

They need to compose and hand out spiritual cartoons.. Cartoons trump language, dialect.. and even culture.. Even an idiot can understand a well made cartoon...

Thats WHY? the muslim shamans literally HATE CARTOONS.. even a brain washed idiot can understand a cartoon..

A hundred years ago, the corrupt New York Tammany Hall gang under Boss Tweed similarly hated cartoonist Thomas Nast for the same reason. A lot of their voters could not read, but they did understand Nast's cartoons.

The new police SOP appears to be "get the guy with the camera first".

>I would have taken a portable pig roaster and set up a stand.<

.
This is exactly how most Americans react to any news of Islamic encroachment on our society and culture. They think that it is all a big joke to be made fun of.

They’d better understand that, if this trend continues, their children will have nothing, or will become the ones persecuting the handfull of Christians that remain.

The new crop of ‘conservative’ Congressmen that we all hope to vote for had better ponder the dilemna that we find ourselves in. What will it be folks — Islam or Freedom?

They did get their video equipment back.

Here are 2 vids of last weekend's religious suppression in Dearborn.

Prelimenary review of Dearborn PD reveals direct connection to DHS (Department of Homeland Security).

Ronald Haddad. Here is City of Dearborn announcement of their New Chief of Police: Dearborn Mayor John B. O’Reilly, Jr. announces the selection of a new police chief, Ronald Haddad, who is a retired deputy chief of the Detroit Police Department and a law enforcement professional of 34 years. Mayor O’Reilly cited Haddad’s extensive career both on the front lines and in police administration, his outstanding leadership experience and his far-reaching community involvement as reasons he was the top candidate after a thorough selection process. “Everyone we talked with had nothing but praise for Chief Haddad,” said Mayor O’Reilly. “He really was the outstanding candidate and I’m confident he will be a tremendous asset to the dedicated officers of our police department. “He has well-thought out ideas, and also is a good listener,” continued Mayor O’Reilly. “He knows the department has many strengths, and he will bring people together to create goals that everyone can buy into, as the department moves forward.” Haddad began his career with the Detroit Police Department in 1973 and retired in January 2007 as deputy chief of the northwestern district. By Sean Delaney, Press & Guide Newspapers : Chief Haddad on national security board http://www.pressandguide.com/articles/2010/04/30/news/doc4bdb1b93d3af8405340360.txt

DEARBORN -- Police Chief Ronald Haddad was recently appointed to serve on the Homeland Security Advisory Council, which provides advice and recommendations to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on matters related to homeland security.

snip The city of Dearborn and its police department has already established several similar advisory committees to facilitate communication between different cultural and religious groups, as well as various groups and organizations throughout the city… snip

“We’re engaging the community in a way that’s never been done before,” Haddad said. Snip..

In addition to Haddad, the group currently has more than two-dozen individuals listed on its membership roster, including Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo, Community Engagement Officer Omar Alomari with Ohio Homeland Security, Acting Professor of Law Asli Bali of the UCLA School of Law, President and CEO Richard Cohen of Southern Poverty Law Center, Sheriff Doug Gillespie of the Las Vegas Police Department, Senior Analyst and Executive Director Dalia Mogahed of the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies, Executive Director Dan Rosenblatt of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and Director Nadia Roumani of the American Muslim Civic Leadership Institute… snip

I’m putting it on my calendar.

Never been to Dearborn, don’t know what it’s like, but I’ve been to other parts of the state, and it’s just beautiful.

Never been arrested either, but there’s always a first time.

The genocide supporter and Israel hater Tariq Ramadan— should be added to the advisory group or maybe he is already ex officio——banned by Bush but now allowed in the US to freely spew his hate against the infidel.

He had a speaking gig to rased finds in Dearborn a couple days ago...

I’m not sure. I know they are a growing problem in every state, but I really did not know the extent of the problem in Dearborn. Could be the Islamic police force they have there.
