A Michigan city with an all-Muslim council that made waves banning LGBTQ+ Pride flags on public buildings has removed two members of a city commission for breaking the new law.
Hamtramck, population 27,000, is an enclave surrounded by Detroit. More than 40 percent of residents were born in other countries, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and a significant share are of Yemeni or Bangladeshi descent.
On Tuesday, the council unanimously approved removing Russ Gordon and Cathy Stackpoole from the Hamtramck Human Rights Commission for flying the rainbow flag over a public sidewalk, with a member saying they 'defied the rule of law.'
It became the first city in America to have a majority Muslim population in 2015 and in January 2022, became the first to have an all-Muslim city council and mayor in Amer Ghalib.
In mid-June, the council voted to ban LGBTQ+ flags from publicly owned flagpoles after a tense hourslong meeting that raised questions about discrimination, religion and the city's reputation for welcoming newcomers.
hey also unanimously approved a ban on the commission flying any flags on city property.
'This Council believes in fairness, neutrality towards our residents, and the rule of law, amongst other things for this community. We passed a resolution recently to do just that, and two of our sworn commissioners outright defied it, and did what they wanted,' Councilmember Khalil Refai told Fox News.
Gordon was the chair of the commission, who's purpose is 'to promote mutual understanding and respect for multiculturalism and diversity, advocate for peace and justice and encourage tolerance and constructive communication.'

This story offers one of those rare and brief moment when I fell well-disposed toward Islam.
Well you know even a broken clock is correct twice a day.
Would be cool if they start chopping off people’s hands for stealing.
The first to be put up against the wall are the useful idiots.
And right after approving a law to chop off hands for stealing, they will make it legal for muslims to rape your daughter.
Not sure why this is unexpected. When you are paying the jizya or having your neck put to the sword are you going to be surprised. Think of the things google and big tech are suppressing. Read a newsletter or three from voice of the martyrs.
It’s weird how 15 years ago no one could imagine a battle described in Revelation… it seems we are headed there quickly, no electricity, no purchasing without submission..
we can call it the new normal and it received its power during the covid lockdowns even here in the land of the free and home of the brave.
The Moose limbs did what the christians were afraid to do, stand up to the fdrqs. This is how to do it, not how hard can that be?
Problem is christians are too busy fighting with each other and flying the queer flag than to take up the fight the moose limbs did.
The koran already says that’s okay if the girls are infidels.

Many of the other 60 percent are probably children of the 40 percent.
There's an opening in the West for Islam to exploit. Christianity is weak. People are going to convert to Islam if this keeps up.
They also unanimously approved a ban on the commission flying any flags on city property.
Any flag... as I read it that includes The national ensign and the state flag.
I have a couple Muslim friends. They are very kind, very hard core conservative Americans. They say their religion has been hijacked.
Since we are now watching our own country being hijacked, I find this easy to believe!!!
As the constant Catholic vs Protestant threads here on FR bear witness. Complete trash posting. I usually just skip over them.
Left eating themselves again.
Besides the crime the most amazing thing to me is how the left, which supports and encourages Islamic immigration, is pro homo-pro drug—feministic—sexual—anti family. Basically natural enemies to Islam.
Yet they hate conservative males which if you look at history are very tolerant. I want to be around when they start throwing them off 5 story buildings but probably won’t.
