Dearborn, Michigan, has a massive Muslim population. Members of that community, like other groups that have come to America, brought their own agenda, ideologies, beliefs, politics, economy and religion.
But there are concerns that Islam’s Sharia law, which governs not just religion for Muslims but everything in their lives, and Sharia’s demand that Islam ultimately dominate everyone, including non-Muslims, has caused alarm.
In that city, a Muslim mayor, Abdullah Hammoud, recently told a Christian minister that he was “not welcome here,” and then refused to apologize for attacking the resident.
Hammoud’s rage was unleashed when a resident objected to officials’ decision to rename Warren Avenue in honor of Osama Silbani, who had delivered controversial opinions praising the Muslim terrorists in Hezbollah and Hamas as freedom fighters.
That clash, just a few months ago, had Hammoud blasting the Christian minister as a racist.
Hammoud lashed out, “You’re an Islamophobe. And although you live here, I want you to know as mayor you are not welcome here. The day you move out of the city will be the day I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of the city.”
Now another Christian pastor, Lorenzo Sewell, has confronted Muslim city council members with the question about whether they will renounce Ssharia law in favor of U.S. constitutional law.
He got mostly silence as a response.
He warned, “This is a city no longer up under American law. We are up under Sharia law.”
A report at Fox said the “flashpoint” came during a town hall meeting and concerned “the influence of Muslim culture in American civic life.”
“America, we have lost this city. This is a city that is no longer up under American laws; we are up under Sharia law. We will not have it anymore,” Lorenzo Sewell, the pastor of 180 Church, said.
“Enough is enough.”
It followed several other protests in Dearborn concerning its move to sharia influences, which are radically Islamic and anti-Christian.
“You are only 1% of this nation. We are not a nation of Muslims,” Sewell said.
The report said Sewell’s concerns are based on “a form of favoritism applied unevenly to Muslims in the name of religious freedom.”
Fox reported, “In particular, Sewell and other Dearborn critics have pointed to a case in which Muslim counterprotesters, in his view, suffered inadequate consequences for assaulting Jake Lang, a local political activist.”
The online activist suffered a real-world altercation just days ago when he was protesting at the city’s Arbaeen March, where he, on video, is punched from behind.
“Detroit Crime News JUST released video of 3 BARBARIC Muslims picking up large rocks to STONE me to death!!! For preaching the NAME OF JESUS!!!” Lang wrote online.
The contention is that the town’s response to the violence was inadequate, and based on the offenders’ Muslim identities.
