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.'

Christians should be ashamed.
Christians have the whole “turn the other cheek” thing.
the muslims banning it doesnt make them friends of Christians. They dont have a new testament where prophesy is fulfill and muslims no long live under the law. They will still behead you if you dont bow to allah .
Christians don’t know what “Put on the full armor of God” means that is their problem.
“As the constant Catholic vs Protestant threads here on FR bear witness. Complete trash posting. I usually just skip over them. “
It’s more than that! Don’t you see the posts, usually the ones I’ve done, where churches support abortion, or hoist the pride flag? (everyone here both protestant and catholic agree that is wrong) How can any church that does this call themselves Christian?
Like someone here once said, we may not agree on doctrine but we at least agreed on Jesus. Now I’m not sure we agree on that!
I don’t have much nice to say about Muslims, but they’re occasionally correct.
The West is committing suicide via degeneracy and immigration.
Look at everything on tv, commercials, and movies.
Deviant after deviant behavior propagated as if cool.
“...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...”
The next step is to behead Russ Gordon and Cathy Stackpoole for crimes against Islam. This is what Jihadi’s do.
The depraved homosexuals brought this on themselves by bringing in the Muslim hordes. Now the queers can suffer the consequences. /spit
Hurling them off a roof would be better but unfortunately until they enact Sharia law it won’t happen.
F’n freak show America has become.
The name of the city is Hamtramck.....if anybody’s wondering..
LOL. They should have. Diversity is strength. Ignorance is pretty strong, too.
I forgot about the rape part. I thought they preferred farm animals.
“..Those poofters should thank Allah that the town council didn’t hurl them off the roof....”
That’s a fact...lol.
As radical and violent as these poofters have been lately, perhaps a good, old-fashioned, muzzie rooftop tossing may very well become a welcome alternative.....LOL.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
“The first to be put up against the wall are the useful idiots.”
It has happened time and time again. Even the lazy votes who just voted “D” out of habit will eventually find themselves up against the wall of a tyrannical government. Hillary’s children and grandchildren will likely also be there, but she is so blinded by power she can’t see it.
And the useful idiots are too stupid to know it.
Post of the day. 100% spot-on.
“The next step is to behead Russ Gordon and Cathy Stackpoole for crimes against Islam. This is what Jihadi’s do.”
The next step is to harass them with selective enforcement of code violations and fines and drive them out of the city. Remind you of our DOJ? Stepping by a barricade, jail; cocaine in the White House, nothing to see.
Agreed.
Admiral L. G. Beatty and his/her fleet of billowing poofs and kinks are no match for any real war plan. Islam is one, but so is Romans 1, which the Pride-filled "christian" segment of Christianity cannot find in their scripture, though they can find a "sparkle creed."
Kudos for writing "christian" without capitalization, to parse them away from Christianity. Typograhcally, this seems a fine way to parse these continually "perverse and foolish oft" folks who want to stand at their altar and worship their crotches. And expect us to kneel before them.
Ms. Diversity, meet Mr. Tolerance, eh?
Because, at that point, they are no longer useful idiots. Just idiots.
I can appreciate their situation. They’re probably good people. One of my past best friends was a Pakistani Muslim (I got him into Metallica, then he had to return to Pakistan).
That said, the only thing that hijacked Islam was peaceful people. True Islam, as demonstrated by its founder, over and over, is a murderous cult.
