My latest at PJ Media:
Eighteen years after the September 11 jihad attacks that murdered nearly three thousand people, this is where we are: the Bloomfield Hills Baptist Church in Michigan has canceled an event called “9/11 forgotten? Is Michigan surrendering to Islam” under pressure from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group with ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. And so the answers are clear: yes, 9/11 has been forgotten, and Michigan is indeed surrendering to Islam.
The event was to feature an ex-Muslim, Shahram Hadian, speaking on “How the Interfaith Movement is Sabotaging America and the Church” and economist and investigative reporter Jim Simpson discussing “How Islam is Destroying America from Within.” The event will go on tonight as a webinar, but it will not take place at the church, despite the fact that last week, the church’s pastor, Donald McKay, denied that it was an “anti-Muslim” event: “Islam is a growing threat in the United States of America,” said McKay. “We don’t hate Muslims, we hate the ideology they are identified with.”
The distinction McKay made, however, made no difference whatsoever. Dawud Walid, executive director of CAIR’s Michigan chapter, fumed: “We find it incredibly irresponsible for a church to invite someone who has the objective of spewing clear anti-Muslim bigotry.” Two Democratic members of the House of Representatives from Michigan, Andy Levin and Debbie Dingell, issued a joint statement admonishing the church that there is “no place for hate in Metro Detroit, in Michigan or anywhere in the United States. We implore the Bloomfield Baptist Church to forgo the anti-Muslim events planned for next week and instead recognize America’s rich cultural and religious diversity as we reflect on one of the most painful days in our country’s history and heal from recent.......

Michigan surrendered years ago, Minnesota, too.
One state at a time, Islam is conquering America.
More likely than not, CAIR threatened to sue them into bankruptcy.
Irony is certainly ironic
Thank heavens I am too old and won’t have to learn Arabic or Urdu and study the Koran and live under Sharia. Because Islam spreads slowly but steadily. It will be a century long expansion.
It is similar to cancer. No big symptoms or disruptions in the beginning. But when it grows big enough, it announces it’s presence and then devours the host.
Pray that this does not happen.
Prayer worked at Lepanto!
