Michigan city gets ready to inaugurate all-Muslim government
CNN ^ | 18 December 2021 | Nick Matt and Jason Kravark

Posted on 12/19/2021 1:09:23 AM PST by Cronos

January 2, in Hamtramck's centenary year, when Amer Ghalib will be inaugurated, along with an entirely Muslim city council. Hamtramck will become the first known city in the US with a government made up entirely of Muslims, according to the Muslim Public Affairs Council, which says it has no record of any other such administration.

...Mayor-elect Ghalib was born in Yemen and came to the United States alone as a young man, with a smattering of broken English and little else. He's now 42, works in the medical field and is studying to become a doctor. Hamtramck's heyday had apparently passed. The city was decaying. Many factories had closed. Many second and third-generation Polish Americans had moved to the Detroit suburbs and beyond in the past two decades. Immigrants, largely from Yemen and Bangladesh, took their place and Hamtramck, locals say, is now majority Muslim.

There is just one American-born member on the new council: Amanda Jaczkowski, a lifelong Michigander. Her Polish American family has worshiped for five generations at the same nearby Catholic Church. She converted to Islam in 2012.

"We are Muslims," Ghalib said, sitting in the council chamber at city hall where he will soon preside. "We are proud of our beliefs and values. But we are not going to try and impose them on others." Jaczkowski added: "We're gonna take an oath to protect the Constitution of the United States. And the Constitution of the United States includes the separation of church and state."

Separation of church and state not separation of mosque and state

Hamtramck used to be called “Pole Town”.

Soon Polish Kielbasa sausages will be outlawed under the penalty of death.

Christianity slowly being phased out for Allah, just in time for Christmas.

There are 68 passages in the koran advising the muslim to ... kill the Infidel.

Why does the Quran say that infidels should be killed? (Question/Answer)

The verse of the Holy Quran is often mentioned to malign Islam. The verse does not say infidels it says idolaters. (9:5) And when the forbidden months have passed, kill the idolaters wherever you find them and take them prisoners, and beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent and observe Prayer and pay the Zakat, then leave their way free. Surely, Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.

This verse, chapter 9 verse 5, is often used as evidence that Islam allows killing of non-Muslims, but what is not recognized is the context and history behind these verses. The history of this verse is that when Prophet Muhammad(sa) began preaching the unity of God he was persecuted for 13 years, much as Prophets Abraham and Jesus were. Since Muslims who are being persecuted are encouraged to leave for safer areas, rather than create disorder, Muhammad(sa) and his followers migrated to Medina. After they left, the Meccans attacked them in Medina on and off for a period of nine years until Chapter 9 was revealed.

Looking at the context of the verses, it becomes obvious that the commandment of this verse only relates to those tribes who continued hostilities against the Muslims even after they had migrated. In particular, reference is made to 5 tribes (‘Banu Khuza’ah, Banu Mudlij, Banu Bakr, Banu Damrah, and Banu Sulaiim) that did not honor the treaties they made with Muslims. It is also important to remember that the preceding verses give these people respite for 4 months to reconsider their behavior and cease hostilities. Sadly after 4 months passed, the enemies of Islam continued their hostilities against the Muslims. Only then was Prophet Muhammad(sa) commanded by God to meet them in battle to defend Muslims and the religion of Islam.

Even in this situation the Quran states that if the enemies repent of their behavior and promise to fulfill their treaties, it becomes incumbent on Muslims to cease military action and forgive them. Unfortunately those who take this specific verse out of context fail to see that as the title Al-Taubah suggests, the main subject matter of the chapter is forgiveness and repentance.

And the Constitution of the United States includes the separation of church and state.

Go get your Constitution and show me where those words are!! They are NOT in our Constitution and have never been in our Constitution. It is so convenient for a Muslim to spout those words knowing that there is “no separation of mosque and state.” I can see where this is heading. CONGRESS - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

RELIGION… doesn’t say anything about a church.

Honestly, I’d take this Islamic administration over the ones in most sh!thole blue fiefdoms. I’d rather deal with Islam than whatever is going on in Seattle, NYC, Portland, San Francisco, etc.

Very sad... I grew up in the Hamtramck city. My dad (a WWII Purple Heart soldier) was commander of the VFW post there, and a worker at the Chrysler auto plant.

NOW Hamtramck is becoming the roots of the muslim takeover of America? They have a promise to end our Constitution and replace it with their Sharia law..... They support terrorists and fund terrorist groups like "CAIR!"

HISTORY - 1400 years / 800 MILLION INNOCENT PEOPLE MURDERED BY MUSLIMS.... and now we're putting them into our governments!

I guess we have forgotten 911!
