It’s come to this…
Police in Dearborn, Michigan arrested Christians last week for handing out Christian literature:
From the Video: If you have questions about the legality of preventing Christians from distributing copies of the Gospel on a public street, you may contact the Dearborn Police Department at 313.943.2240.
AllahPundit at HotAir reported this on the arrested Christians:
Via Powerline, so insane is this that I’m paranoid there’s a key detail missing somewhere that might explain the whole thing. Could the Christians have been trespassing on private property, maybe? Sure doesn’t look like it, and in any case, they weren’t arrested for trespassing. They were arrested for “disorderly conduct,” which apparently now extends to the offense of offering religious literature to someone who might not want it.
No wonder the far left and Islamists get along so well.

I’ll bet that the Dearbon Police have no justification other than the PC fears of an ‘outraged’ muslim ‘community’ thinking it’s an Inqusition Revival. There’s probably NO LAWS in Dearborn regarding the passing out of religious literature.
They’re being arrested out of fear. I’m sure the local newspapers will headline this abridgement of religious freedom…in favor of Dearbornistan.

Supposedly the police also confiscated cameras so that the incident couldn’t be recorded. This whole new rage of “you can’t record police” is bullcrap. It’s not wiretapping, and they have no expectation of privacy out in public. Cameras receive LIGHT and SOUND that are being reflected and emitted by the police–fair game for recording in my book.
Freedom or Sharia.
Freedom or Islam.
Noel commented:
The Muslims in the film freely and peacefully accept the literature offered in a gentle manner.
The only ones whose conduct is disorderly are the police.
Ladue Pundit commented:
Atlas and Jihad Watch are reporting that all the Christians did was walk onto the festival grounds. Last year they were warned about handing out tracts.
It was dubbed an “Arab Festival,” not an Islamic Festival. I guess Dearborn is a no-go zone for Christians.
Ok, so stay out of southern Arizona, too, while you’re at it.
dirtmonkey commented:
Perhaps the cops, in this case, “acted stupidly”?

In a reverse psychology kind of way, this is emblematic of how to attack Islam, and I don’t mean Islamism, radical Islam or any other of our current post-modern constructs. Where Islam is most vulnerable is in its scriptures, the koran, haddiths and suras. When those little tidbits of Islam, like Mohammed’s sex with his 9 year old bride come to the fore, people may just say to themselves, “Hmmm, are you sure that’s a religion?” That’s why muslims are so dead set against being prostelitized. When they lose control of the “message” that thin veneer of religion begins to wear through and the underlying supremacist political ideology becomes apparent. And that ideology is what must be attacked and, if not destroyed, driven into worldwide disrepute.

Time for Christians to descend on Dearborn, MI. Sounds like we need a “Come to Jesus” meeting on the Courthouse steps. Great place to start The Great Revival.

what.. you didn’t believe Obama when
he said “You ain’t seen nothing’ yet!”??
like i’ve been warning for months on end.. we have been infiltrated, and
it didn’t happen overnight.. the Muslim Brotherhood has been running a stealth jihad while the militaristic arm (AQ et al) of their organization has been conducting attacks & causing wars all over the globe.. they consider
the Obama presidency a step forward in the Islamization of America..
just in case you haven’t noticed, Obama is & has been is aiding &
abetting the enemy to bring down his enemy, namely US hell-O??
btw, Muslims who came here to escape oppression & Sharia in their home countries are most likely being intimidated into submission.. just wait until the Ground Zero Mosque is concentrated on September 11, 2011.. we’ll start hearing more & more about their “no go zones”, honor killings, beheadings, & God knows what else.. you know, all those things Islam claims brings about “peace”..
much more here (and there’s still tons more, most of it going on right under our noses, via our Mansourian president, eyes WIDE freakin’ shut, gah!!)

If I find Muslims offensive due to my religious belief, which teaches that Islam is offensive, in Dearborn, MI, will Muslims be required to come no closer than five blocks from me?

Can I hear a BIG “AMEN” from the Congregation?

Wonder how the Dearbornistan gestapo would react to the owner of this pickup truck with a very appropriate “Everything I ever needed to know about islam I learned on 9/11″ painted on the tailgate.

What, Dearborn now belongs to Allah A.K.A. Satan? Those cops are a bunch of pussies – are they afraid the Muslims will become violent, and they will actually have to do their job and protect the rights of the citizens in Dearborn? Bloody cowards.
Taxpayer1234 commented:
On the one hand, Dearborn has become quite the Muslim enclave. On the other hand, there are many, many Middle Easterners in SE Michigan (Dearborn included) who are NOT Muslim, but Christian. Lebanese and Iranian Christians fled their violent Muslim countries for peace here.
Before the Muslim influx, Dearborn was Polish-town. Still is, in lots of places.
I lived in neighboring Ann Arbor and have many wonderful friends still there and in Dearborn. So I’m not wild about the suggestions of nuking Dearbornistan. I much prefer Pamela Geller’s “Leaving Islam” ad campaign, PLUS lots of careful and vigilant monitoring by the feds.
Taxpayer1234 commented:
Auntie Em, I think it’s time the Pope came to Dearborn for a visit. The only religious that outnumber Muslims there are the Catholics.
Opus #6 commented:
There needs to be widespread civil disobedience to these “laws” in Dearbornistan. Until even the MSM has to notice.

Jesus warned us that we will be persecuted for our beliefs. It looks like it has begun here.

“In a reverse psychology kind of way, this is emblematic of how to attack Islam, and I don’t mean Islamism, radical Islam or any other of our current post-modern constructs. ”
There is no Islamism. There is no radical Islam. Just like there is no moderate Islam. Islam is Islam.
Remember after 9-11 how the Mohammedans danced in the streets all across the world.
There are moderate Mohammedans. But there is no moderate Islam.
The difference between radical and moderate Islam is a myth spread by Western apologists. Nothing about Islam is moderate. Muham the Mad (aka Mohammed) himself was not a moderate person. The so called “holy book”, the koran, is full of hatred, full of orders to murder and maim.
Compare Mohammed with Jesus.
Jesus made the blind see (Lucas 18:35)
Mohammed blinded people (Sahih Bukhari vol. 8, p. 520)
Jesus healed catatonic hands (Matthew 12:10)
Mohammed cut off hands (Sahih Bukhari vol.8, p. 520)
Jesus forgave his enemies (Lucas 23:43)
Mohammed murdered his enemies (Sahih Bukhari vol. 5, pp. 248)
Jesus promised freedom for prisoners (John 8:1)
Mohammed imprisoned the free and put them into slavery (Sahih Bukhari vol. 5, pp. 248)
Or maybe…
Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies concerning his arrival.
Mohammed had no actual prophecies concerning his arrival
Jesus was possibly never married and, if we believe the lore, lived a life without sin.
Mohammed had at least 15 wives in his life, one of them was 6 when he married her and 9 when he consummated his marriage with her.
Jesus didn’t wage war and said that his kingdom was not of this world, thus his followers should not use weapons. He didn’t order even just one execution but rather died for the sinners.
Mohammed fought at least 66 wars to spread his cult.
Jesus died on the cross, possibly around the age of 33, without having committed any crime.
Andreas K. commented:
Dang… Lemme continue… Somehow I touched the “Post” button.
Jesus died on the cross, possibly around the age of 33, without having committed any crime.
Mohammed died at the age of 62 due to pneumonia.
Jesus forgave the sins of others.
Mohammed often begged for god to forgive his sins.

Andreas, Excellent post!!!
Lenore commented:
But it is ok for that baptist group to protest, PROTEST mind you, at the funerals of fallen soldiers. Can anyone say sharia or maybe just cowardism. Seems like you have to threaten to chop off heads to be protected from what you don’t want to hear.

Andreas, Excellent post!!!
Thanks. Kind of scary when I, an atheist, invoke Jesus. But I take Jesus over Mohammed any day.
southernsue commented:
round up all the midlle easterners, islam faith, and deport them. they are here for only one reason. to multiply and take over our culture. if this wasn’t so, why the police protection. GOD is giving us a warning. make no mistake that satan is alive and well.
i pray for our country and that we will be able to get our country back come november. the political correctness that has overtaken our country will be the death of us. if other nationalities want to live here in our great country, then they need to assimilate not overtake.

I have had this video of the 2009 Dearborn festival on my youtube playlist for some time….. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEPod-hxD7g&feature=PlayList&p=497BA81D9210ED1C&playnext_from=PL&index=99 The Dearborn area of Michigan has become a sanctuary city of Islam. It should be renamed West Medina.
Joanne commented:
I concur, Andreas K. that was an excellent post.
I think I may just copy it, it was that good to repeat – I’ll give a HT to you if you don’t mind.
ruffedge commented:
If this were happening to Muslims, the call would go out to boycott Michigan
averagemelon commented:
Excellent post, Andreas. I am proud of your unbiased comparison.
There may come a day when you are no longer an aetheist. We won’t mind.
Mark commented:
Crap on Mohammed. Deport muslims.
Listen up commented:
When the cops persecute Christians for even looking in the direction of a muslim or handing them a few sheets of paper you know the cops are either a. muslim b. afraid of muslims c. fear for their jobs because of p.c. over lords, or d. just plain stupid. In any case they are WRONG!
I think they should be taken to court because I do not believe there is any such law on the books in Dearborn and if there is it needs to be challenged!
Wake up America!
donh commented:
These things are all related. The islamic domination of the Dearborn MI area and all its government structures. The police investigation of Andrew Arena’s FBI shooting of Dearborn imam Abdulla in raiding a domestic islamic terror training cell 9/09. Andrew Arena’s subsequent raid on the Christian Hutaree militia on bogus trumped up charges, the Christmas fruit of kaboom bomber, Eric Holder and John Conyers. … http://detnews.com/article/20091029/METRO01/910290448/Detroit-mosque-leader-killed-in-FBI-raid
Hamza commented:
There is a MAJOR missing link to this story that we are not being told…
Don’t believe the hype!
Muslims are not the enemies…
Islam is not the enemy…
People who attempt to make you believe a certain race or religion is the enemy is TRULY the enemy…
Something to ponder…
I for one wish they could arrest anyone handing out religious literature because for me it is offensive weather it’s Muslim Literature, Jewish Literature, or Christian Literature. Please pass a law so the Jahova Witnesses can’t knock on my door early Sunday Morning!!!!
