Slow news day huh?
Please change the record.
religious plurality is UN-Islamic...
Islamic Empire, why don’t you stuff it up your righteous posterior.
It is obvious filth such as yourself, who serve as the cesspool of the world.
Go sell your crap on another blog.
When thousands of Christians attend the Arab festival next June, sharing testimony and witnessing freely, will Roger Williams be "messing" with them?
By then the busses should be rolling, and Muslims will be given a choice, Christianity, instead of an eternal death sentence: Islam.
Free yourselves.

Well, *of course* "Islamic Empire" considers restricting freedom of speech to be old news. After all, it's business as usual in Dar-al-Islam. Why should Kaffirs be shocked by this?
If "Islamic Empire" has his way, it will indeed be an everyday occurrence for us to be silenced, and to be threatened with arrest if we challenge that silencing.
This is a small taste of what "Islamic Empire" has in store for us.
As for the Dearborn police, it is yet another instance of authorities clamping down on peaceful Infidels because it is simply easier and safer for them than dealing with the specter of violent Muslim mobs.
It is also a grotesque miscarriage of justice.
It is also shortsighted and foolish—while it may be expedient today, it will only embolden Muslim supremacy in the long run, and lead to more Islamic threats and violence—as well as greater and greater restrictions on Infidel freedom of speech.
"...it is simply easier and ..."
could it be that something has greased palms for such action? (nothing "emboldens Muslim supremacy" than to buy compliance from corrupt police ... nothing irregular about that when the noble desires to exert his will)
These types of incidents where Christians rights of free speech, and use of public property, are usurped by police protecting Mahoundian, and gay interests, are becoming common...The Sheriff of the county is responsible, no law enforcement occurs within his county without his approval...
If you don't like the tune, IE, how about changing the channel? How can we miss you if you don't go away?
IE's moniker should actually be "Islamic Cesspool." Ah...now, that's the reality.
How amazing that Muslims cannot tolerate any viewpoint other than Islam.
For decades Americans have been squeegied by Moonies at airports; had Jehovah's witnesses come to their doors, and been pestered by Hare Krishnas at every rock concert and street party. These religious groups have been a take-it-or-leave-it experience for generations of Americans.
NOW, Muslims are so offended by Christians with leaflets that Dearborn police, under Commissioner Haddad, have been threatened and denied their constitutional rights.
The real offense (read: FEAR)is the threat posed to Islam, an insecure, illogical belief system that kills apostates. In the marketplace of religions, Islam cannot compete. Muslims are unable to choose another religion or no religion at all.
Why does this guy defame the name of my American hero, Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island? Is it because the real Roger Williams saw a country where everyone could hold his religious beliefs and speak his mind freely against a Muslim supremacist who wishes to establish his religion above everyone else and limit freedom of speech?
For decades Americans have been squeegied by Moonies at airports; had Jehovah's witnesses come to their doors, and been pestered by Hare Krishnas at every rock concert and street party...
I have personal experience with all the above...I hope Mahoundians don't start a door to door da'wah campaign...
Mayor O'Brian must go now! Not in November, but NOW! People should send complaints (but polite!) (especially those in Michigan) for the immediate firing/impeachment of Mayor O'Brian and the Deerborn Chief of police who are complacent in what should rightly be a scandal. Abuse of power, Multiple Civil rights violations, and misleading of the public.
Fire Mayor O'Brian! If we make enough noise, it will happen!
There's no double standard in Dearborn: Everyone is equal under Shariah, even the dhimmis.
...I hope Mahoundians don't start a door to door da'wah campaign...

Actually, I kinda wish they would. It would be a great opportunity to confront them with the facts.
As a Jew who leans at times towards agnosticism, I can definitely see the double standard at work in this situation. This is a public event on a public street. Muslims are freely handing out religious literature. The Christian man/men are harassed and threatened when they do the same.
This is a law suit waiting to happen; and I hope it actually does happen

Hey, you left out the Mormons!

I doubt it, Boakai. Similar things have happened in just the past few months in London, in Berlin, and in San Francisco.
I know a few people in the San Francisco police department—they are all good people, but know next to nothing about Muslims and Islam, and—disappointingly—have little curiosity on the subject.
Most modern forces in the West employ a form of "harm reduction", which means they try to quell violent situations when possible, and avoid escalation at almost any cost.
In many ways this is an admirable goal, and much preferable to just going in indiscriminately swinging clubs or opening fire. On the other hand, it all too often leads them to identify the *least violent* and dangerous group, and target them in the interest of diffusing the tense situation.
In all too many cases what this means is that the police—the state, in effect—goes after the most reasonable elements, while mollifying the most violent.
It can lead to the worst sort of "political correctness".
I think short-sightedness is far more common than actual corruption in the West, and this is largely a good thing. In the long run, though, it could be just about as dangerous.
Is there a double standard in Dearborn? Based upon what I just saw -- most definitely!
A mere 10 years ago information like this would have been inaccessible unless you lived in Dearborn. None of the liberal media would have reported it. But today, thanks to the internet and patriots like Spencer, we SEE the crimes muslims commit against non-muslims, each and every day, around the world. And we read the comments of Muslims like this one whose only defense of his violent religion is smarmy, stupid sarcasm.
Notice how Muslims are using their BS "Islam means peace" less and less? They know that we know that Islam means anything but peace.
Your days here are numbered, Muslim. The internet is slowly drowning you with the truth, which we SEE, on the internet.
Muslim, would you support banning Sharia law in the US and Europe?
You know, this issue of "Freedom of Speech" always cracks me up. As Americans we live under the ILLUSION that we have the right to say whatever we want, but we really don't. For example: if I were to say that Mr. Spencer is really just a puppet for the JDL, and that on week-ends he likes to spend his time mud-wrestling with some of the more militant members of the Hamas. That would be libelous {we hope} and he would be well within his legal rights to litigate against me to make me stop saying such things.
Or if someone were to openly advocate the assassination of an elected official, would we say that his "freedom of speech" secures for him the "right" to do so?
And then there is this issue of how courageous and unflinching certain people might be simply because they are willing to run off at the mouth and alienate 1/5th of the global population. I challenge these courageous souls:
Instead of America, or Europe, why not put your courage to a REAL test: Go to Gaza, or Yemen, or Iran and jump up on your soapbox, tree stump, or what have you, and tell your opponents, face to face, in real time, how barbaric, uncivilized, etc. you believe them to be...
Now THAT would be REALLY impressive!!!
Allah Bless America!
And yet Islam is the fastest growing religion on the planet, how strange...
Allah Bless America!!!
"Notice how Muslims are using their BS "Islam means peace" less and less? They know that we know that Islam means anything but peace."
I have noticed that. The Mohammedans have generally realized that the "rop" propaganda ain't gonna fly anymore!
What they're doing instead is concentrating on the "racist/bigot/hater" epithets directed toward us Infidels.
But at some point Americans are going to get tired of having those vile epithets hurled at them by a bunch of backward mass-murdering Barbarians.
Muslims you should enjoy their current small victories in the US. Soon the true citizens will vote out your sympathizers in local, state and federal governments. Make plans now to pack your bags and take your disgusting way of life back to the Middle East. Otherwise you will not be allowed to abuse our freedoms and our way of life and may find life for you is no longer pleasant or tolerable for you here in the US. Don't whine you have been warned.
Wrong again, dinkdank. Christianity is growing faster in sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia, and the Asian Far East. Of course, in Muslim-majority places where non-Islamic religions are banned, growth of non-Muslim religions is slow. That tends to happen when you murder people who don't follow Islam or who leave the "religion of peace" and become ex-Muslim apostates. If you wish to follow your pedophile, woman-murdering, Jew-libelling, historic Buddha-statue and Hindu-temple destroying, despicable totalitarian-political-ideology-masquerading-as-a-religion, a safe haven for thug-sociopaths (the dirty bomber, the shoe bomber, the Nation of Islam in the U.S., the white-trash sociopath women, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and those "men"- I use the term advisedly- in Saudi Arabia who think it is manly to whip women who expose parts of their faces in public), then by all means follow it, dinkdank. But don't force it on me, or anyone else.
Next time invite the media. They love dirty laundry. ABC, NBC, Fox news. and all the radio stations. WHen they get the crap kicked out of them, then the backlash will happen
From CW to the delusional "Dank:"
"P.S.S. Anyone ever tell you you're an idiot?"
LOL!
Dank (unpleasantly moist or wet) how appropriate. Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the 1st Amendment of the Constitution. It reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." In simple terms the government cannot abridge your free speech. Individuals or private organizations are different. As Americans we have the notion that the Bill of Rights extends to private relationships. As a general proposition it does not. An example of this is the mohamedans efforts over the years to silence those who speak the truth of the vile quran. But, I digress, the concept of free speech is not limitless, i.e., you cannot yell "fire" in a crowded theatre. Nor do you have a right to make public statements threatening to kill anyone. As to Robert, he is a public personality. Generally speaking you must demonstrate an intent to cause him harm and resulting harm to sustain a defamation action. Sorry Dank, but Robert does not fit into your scenerio. Your ignorance of our Constitution is showing. As far as going to mohamedan land's to open the eyes of the mohamedans, one verily cannot attempt to explain to a pack of rabid dogs the error of their ways. If there is a common streak amongst mohamedans it is that they are ignorant, primitive and prone to violence (as dictated by mein quaran). Such a fascist ideaology is a welcome thing amongst the ignorant and self-perceived downtrodden. It is a means of making themselves feel enpowered and part of a "greater" purpose. What easy minds to corrupt! Satan verily knows how to pick his victims does he not?
And yet Islam is the fastest growing religion on the planet, how strange...
And how untrue! Muslims continue to breed like rats, hoping to overwhelm the world with fellow zombies, but vast numbers don't necessarily mean victory. Muslims are leaving islam at an astonishing rate, even if they don't always openly declare their liberation from this mind-killing death cult. Christianity is rapidly growing in many parts of the world and remember this: muslims are and always have been grossly outnumbered by non-muslims. What happens when the other four-fifths of the world's people have had enough muslim crap?
Do you really believe that civilized people are going to stand by and allow primitive totalitarians to erase centuries of progress? Do you think free people will allow a herd of brain dead throwbacks to overthrow their governments and implement sharia? Keep beating your chests and making your threats but don't cry when you get your asses kicked.
The arrest and oppression of free-speaking Christians in Dearborn is a sign of two things. One, the Dearborn government is dhimmitized just as many places in Europe. There is now a strong reaction against Islamization abroad (e.g., Geert Wilders and the SIOE).
I believe the Islamist infection of America can be stopped at Dearborn. I hope to be part of this effort.
Also, and even more significantly, America is now entering a challenge phase. We must determine whether our nation will live by the Constitution, esp. the Bill of Rights, or will give in to the weak-minded gibberish of the postmodernists (e.g., "all values are relative", political correctness, "hate speech" laws, etc.). We must meet this challenge boldly and swiftly.
All Americans who love our Constitutional freedoms should be encouraged by this fact: there are approx. 250,000,000 privately owned firearms in this country. This is more than one per every adult. Americans fairly bristle with guns and other weapons.
This massive civilian armament, guaranteed by our Second Amendment, means that there is a loaded shotgun, rifle, or pistol for anyone who tries to impose Sharia law (or Old Testament law, for that matter) on us. Americans are free because we are armed.
I hope that many Islamists read this letter. We in the USA will not ever be trembling dhimmis under your barbaric, rapistic religion. We will not ever be silent about your grotesque and dangerous superstitions; rather we will boldly speak out. Our beautiful women will not ever wear your hideous shrouds. In America our women are free, and so are we.
