2011 Dearborn Arab Festival: Muslims chanting "Allahu akbar" harass, bully, threaten Christian preacher

Video courtesy David Wood, who notes: "The crowd gets increasingly hostile throughout the video."

Note the calls for the preacher to be arrested and claims that he hasn't given Islam proper "respect," eliciting cheers from the crowd.

Remember, this is in Michigan.

There is a new threatening and menacing element spreading in America, and it is not "Islamophobia."

It doesn't take much to cause Muslims to go into a murderous rage, does it?

They are simply following Muhammad's coercive example.

In core Islamic texts, Muhammad says your "lives and property" are not safe from him unless you become a Muslim

In Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, the two most canonical hadith collections:

Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 2, Number 25:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform all that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."

Sahih Muslim, Book 031, Number 5917:

...Ali went a bit and then halted and did not look about and then said in a loud voice: Allah's Messenger, on what issue should I fight with the people? Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: Fight with them until they bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger, and when they do that then their blood and their riches are inviolable from your hands but what is justified by law and their reckoning is with Allah.

From a core Islamic text, a hadith in which Muhammad said there is to be no punishment for murdering someone who insults Muhammad

From Sunan Abu-Dawud, a canonical hadith collection:
Book 38, Number 4348:

Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas:

A blind man had a slave-mother [a slave who bore children for him] who used to abuse the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and disparage him. He [the blind man] forbade her but she did not stop. He rebuked her but she did not give up her habit. One night she began to slander the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and abuse him. So he [the blind man] took a dagger, placed it on her belly, pressed it, and killed her. A child who came between her legs was smeared with the blood that was there. When the morning came, the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) was informed about it.

He assembled the people and said: I adjure by Allah the man who has done this action and I adjure him by my right to him that he should stand up. Jumping over the necks of the people and trembling the man stood up.

He sat before the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and said: Apostle of Allah! I am her master; she used to abuse you and disparage you. I forbade her, but she did not stop, and I rebuked her, but she did not abandon her habit. I have two sons like pearls from her, and she was my companion. Last night she began to abuse and disparage you. So I took a dagger, put it on her belly and pressed it till I killed her.

Thereupon the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable for her blood.

Another canonical hadith:

Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 38, Number 4349:

Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib:

A Jewess used to abuse the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and disparage him. A man strangled her till she died. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) declared that no recompense was payable for her blood.



I can clearly see that our future American political leaders are going to carry on our present leaders agenda.

I hate Islam.

ARE THE LIGHTS GOING OUT?

Here's a very incomplete list of organizations or people self-censoring, or hiring bodyguards, or going into hiding, or taking other precautions, and sometimes getting killed or wounded after receiving death threats and violence from Muslims following the example of Muhammad, who said there would be no punishment for murdering someone who had insulted him.

Yale University Press (self-censors in response to Muslim death threats);

Metropolitan Museum of Art (self-censors in response to Muslim death threats);

National Archives of Canada (self-censors in response to Muslim death threats);

Director of the museum in the Hague, Wim van Krimpen (self-censors in response to Muslim death threats);

UK religious studies teacher Gary Smith (Muslims hit him over the head with an iron bar, fracturing his skull, hemmorhaging his brain, breaking his jaw, and slashing his face, for not teaching Islam as they deem apprpropriate)

State Senator Greg Ball (receives suspicious package with greeting "Asa Lamu Laikum Dead Man Walking," (the first part of which is Arabic for "peace be upon you") ;

2010 Tennessee candidate for Congress Lou Ann Zelenikj (death threats from Muslims);

Barrister Tom Zreika (seeks police protection after non-stop phone threats from Muslims);

Japanese translator of Rushdie, Hitoshi Igarashi (murdered);

Norwiegan translator of Rushdie, William Nygaard (shot);

Lyricist Javed Akhtar (death threats from Muslims);

Cartoonist Kurt Westergaard (almost killed by a Muslim with an axe);

Islam expert Robert Spencer; and again Robert Spencer; and again Robert Spencer; and again Ro...well, you get the idea.

Countless others are self-censoring in response to the climate of intimidation. The lights are going out. The growth of Islam means the death of civil liberties. It's time to resist.


"We don't want you here" develops into the primitive rhythmic shouting and chorusing we have see so often when a crowd is winding itself up. Kids and young men, but it is just as well the police arrived ..yeah, Dearborn police but still.

"He should be arrested for coming here", "you say our religion is fake, you say freedom of speech".

Some of the young Muslimas look very apprehensive indeed. I suspect they know they have to be on their guard in an exited crowd ...and not against the preacher.
It's not that I would bet on it, but remembering what has happened before this in similar circumstances elsewhere I say it is a possibility.

I used to believe in an omnipotent God....until I read the Quran. There is no way an omnipotent power that created everything would write such vile filth.


Thank God SOMEONE is standing up to these marauding savages.

We must rid our shores of this infestation. There are things that I want to write that I daren't for fear of being banned from JW, which has happened more than once. Soon all will know, I predict.

Is this even America?

When the crowd was whipping itself up into the mad Arabic chants I was instantly transported to Iraq, Egypt, Gaza... where the crowds chant the exact same slogan in the same manner of cantation when baying for Kuffar blood...

God, is this even America???

It's a very weak religion, indeed, that can't take any criticism whatsoever. Where are the groups of strong men in America who are willing to put these sniveling cowards back in their places instead of letting them run roughshod over the rest of us?

traeh's link to the story about the National Archives of Canada is dead. Anybody know what happened there?

Incidentally, were the thieves who stole from his backpack arrested?


KP, where is your instructive post on Indian history (I believe it was you, if memory serves)? I wanted to send it to someone but I'm having trouble locating it.

CGW


They are coming, never fear.

And I MEAN it.

Muslims are the lowest life forms on earth, much lower than the Honorable Pig. Allah is nothing but another name for Satan. Just as the Bible states, there will be a majority of people that will not hear the truth but follow Satan. That is Islam!

It's not Islamophobia. It surely is kufirophobia.

{^_^}


Never mind, KaffirPagan. I found and saved it. Thanks.

Disgraceful! Note how many really young people were there - where are the so-called 'moderate' muslims, encouraging 'integration'? - of course, there aren't any - to admit to being 'moderate' is likely to attract a death sentence in their 'peaceful'horror-comic book


This is called an ARAB festival. Where are the Christian Arabs who supposedly still form the majority of people of Arab descent in the United States, most of their ancestors in fact having fled jihad in the early 20th century and immigrated to America?

Where's Marlo Thomas, Casey Kasam, John Sununnu, Ralph Nader, etc, if not actually at the festival, at least standing up somewhere to shout disgust at Muslim "Arabs" for turning this cultural festival into an Islamic religious supremacist hatefest? Have Christian Arab Americans forgotten why their ancestors came to the United States? Any of them like to answer? (not talking about Brigette Gabriel and a few others already established as anti-jihadists--thanks, you know who you are already).

Ironically, the guy is doing pretty much what Muhammad did in Mecca while being shouted down by his pagan community--the difference here being the message of course. No sanctioning of child "marriage", war booty, infidel slavery and rape, murdering of apostates and satiric poets, etc.

I think the women in this video looked attracted to the guy, but were trying to hide it. Its obvious; the guy has charisma compared to all the meathead goons shouting at him. Girls dig that in a man, and smart girls dig charisma combined with a positive message.

The preacher is no damned fool. He is a Christian shaheed, trying to bring the real religion of peace to those enslaved by the false religion of war and misogyny. People like David Wood and Nabil Qureshi are doing something right when the angry mob in Dearbornistan hates them. My guess is that they've enjoyed a little bit of success, and the pro-Hizbollah Mullahs up there know it.

BTW, they're some of the brave men IsabellatheCrusader has been asking about.

Max Publius, yours was a great post.

Only a matter of time at this rate before Ford will be forced to move its headquarters from Dearborn when the Muslim population has reached critical mass. A car company can't compete with Japanese and Korean cars if its work force wants (or is forced by imams) to do ceremonial ablutions and "pray" (mime anti-Christian/Jewish hate speech in ancient Arabic) five times a day, not to mention barely move while they starve one month a year (Ramadan) during work hours.

Second that Kepha.

Those who hate Christianity....as the Carole King song goes:
"You gotta friend..." (Islam)

I would not be able to do what the preacher did,he is a brave man.Why didn't the Muslim adults intervene to tell the kids to be quiet and leave or listen?I believe they were in favor of harassing the Christian,God bless him.

To Traeh,thanks for the links they were very interesting.And David Wood is doing a great job showing how free speech is being trampled in Dearborn.

IsabellaTheCrusader............never fear for we have lots of brave men in America.........many are armed.......these protests are not going unnoticed and there will be a price to pay, for this is the beginning of the end.....for them!

Would the reception be any different if a non-religious preacher were to stand alone and advocate for individual liberty, and highlight the many ways that Islam and Islamic preachers smother such freedom?

Will these kids ever have the capacity to treat Islam like underwear, to be left at home when they enter the public arena to work or play among other individuals? Note here that this is the pool (cohorts in time and place) from which future doctors and teachers and firefighters and policeman must be drawn.

Compare the sullen tone of these "youth" to any skateboard daredevil trying to capture video of their latest crazy stupid trick, where they seek only to be able to say they did it and survived (to impress the girls, or for the adrenalin rush alone). These smothered children here will have reduced their creative spirit to chanting nothing but allah akbar, as adults, just as a classic Mexican who has not learned English is reduced to answering every question with: "Si . . . Si . . . Si."

Freedom is a foreign language.

What strikes me is that they seemed completely unable to simply ignore the preacher guy. Like he said sometime during his presentation, people that did not want to hear what he had to say could simply walk away. That would be precisely what I would like to be able to do with people that wear their Islamic underwear on the outside for all to see, soiled and stained.

What would give these kids a rush of adrenalin? Islamic license to act as deputized vigilantes, of Islam, consistent with the incitement of their compelled daily chanting.

Has any of you heard at the end of the video someone calls him a N****R!!!

The Arab Christians in the US belong to congregations who teach cheek-turning passivity and that this Islam-rising stuff is part of "last day" theology, which is to say that, like most of the church, they're happy to warm a pew and sing a few songs every Sunday but they'll never take a real stand against real evil because they're controlled by fear.

It's a fear that says, "If I get involved in something that is anti-Islamic, people will call me a bigot and might get fired or lose friends so I'll just shut my cake-hole and let these savages win because even though the Bible says no man knows the time of His return, I'm sure this is part of the time-line so I'll just hasten the whole thing along by standing here silent, letting people die."

I applaud the preacher for his courage and proving a important point. For those who had any doubts, this video clearly demonstrates that muslims don't belong in the West.

Muslims have no tolerance from freedom of speech or expression. Any views that go against what they were brainwashed with, are rejected outright and then they become hostile and aggressive towards those expressing them.

If there was no security around he wouldn't probably been beat up here. I'm sure if he tried this in an Islamic country, he'd be lynched. What more do we need to know? These people reject enlightened and democratic values, they need to go.

If they're so proud of their religion, why get angry? It makes them look like a bunch of cowards.

Quite clearly the Muslims were disrespecting this mans religion and his civil right to free speech. I also notice numerous instances of rude hand gestures and foul language. It is apparent that Muslims do indeed suffer from a great inferiority complex and are unwilling to listen to others of different religions. The Muslims displayed the hostility for which they are well known.
This video is just one example of just how quickly Muslims resort to violence...If they did not want to listen to this man they had the option of just leaving...but true to form the Muslims shout out the speaker, just as they have at many speeches, forums, debates or interviews where non-Muslims are speaking...

It is only a matter of time before US Muslims resort to fatalistic violence and bloodletting.

Such a beautifull people, can't we import MILLIONS more? LOL!

If the camera man had not been there, no doubt the preacher would have been beaten to death by young punks. Islam attracts domestic violence abusers, and power-hungry, inadequate men, and lazy, ignorant women who do not want to have to be mature adults. They are attracted by the Sharia (legal) sanctioning of sexual dominance, plunder of non-Muslims, and impunity for criminal behavior against non-Muslims and women. It is much like what attracts people to blatant satan-worship.

Under U.S. law, there are two legal arenas which deal with damaging behavior, criminal and civil. Criminal prosecution for crimes is the government's responsibility and being a witness at trial is the citizen's responsibility. Civil ("civilized") prosecution for money reparation or equity is the responsibility of the injured party. U.S. citizens are going to have to come out of the cocoon excuse of ignorance and "I don't want to get involved" and to be willing to file lawsuits and be witnesses against jihad crimes. U.S. citizens are going to have to be smart and put their technology to good use as evidence against jihad crimes (e.g., using a cell phone camera to take pictures of a jihad crime). It is also not a crime to defend oneself or another against immediate physical threat, so U.S. citizens need to be prepared to act against the jihad crimes they come across. U.S. citizens also need to write their representatives and vote responsibly, making sure our laws are not changed to accommodate Sharia law. The time to be passive and lazy has passed. Rights and freedoms are for the vigilant.

This was an "Arab" festival. There is, however, racism in Islam which favors Arabs because Muhammad was an Arab. Arabs consider themselves the "true" Muslims. That is why rape is used in Islamic wars of conquest, to ensure the conquered race becomes part Arab. This strategy is still being used in Africa today.

Jim, are you really in London? When I was a college boy back in the 1970's, and visited the place, I actually thought it an interesting city where, if I had a good job or degree program there, I'd have been happy to have stayed as more than a short-term tourist. Further, whatever they say about traditional English food, I like the chips, sausage, fried fish, and pork pies. The British Museum was a gem, too.

Sure am Kepha. .ain't been overseas since '82. .and the museums, yes, are somethin' else.

I may be wrong, but it seems to me this preacher should not have gone to this event. It seems just inappropriate to me; not the place for it. I think we should be very careful about providing Muslims the opportunity to cry foul on us. I think that Christians would also be upset if a Muslim came preaching at a similar Christian event. Making that statement now causes me to wonder, however, whether Christians would be allowed to have such an event. I wonder what the place was where the Muslim event was held. Some land they own or public property? If public property, where is the outcry from ACLU? Oh! I just remembered--they didn't call it a Muslim festival; they called it an Arab festival. They have a get-out-of-jail free card.

Spot on Mary!!!!

You have the Coran which is in Arabic and which supposedly cannot be recited in other languages. The profit Mo is a typical Arab dude. The Kabba is smack in the heart of Arabia where Moslems from all over the world have to go to pay obeisance almost once in their lifetime as a symbol of supremacy of the Arab God.

Even people who once had a culture of their own (a better culture) like the Turks, Caucasians, Malaysians, North Africans, once they become Mozlem adopt the Arab way of dressing, greeting each other etc. And not only that. The converts start to ape vile Arab practices like cousin marriage, honor killing and genital mutilation. The Mozlems also begin to behave like Arab pirates from the 7th century because after all, Izlam was born out of Arab piracy and plunder.

So the Arab harshness and brutality gets grafted on to the people that adopt Izlam. How else do you explain the metamorphosis of the traditionally docile Buddhist Bractrians into the now wannabe Arab Afghans? For Mozlems, it becomes a race to prove that you are 'more Arab' than the other guy. Because anything other than that will mean that you are not a pious Muslim. You negate your cumulative history, your identity in the process.

Izlamic piety = being Arab.

And

Izlam is nothing but a vehicle for Arab imperialism.

Good stuff, and its good to keep in mind that many Arabs were Christian long before the pagan Arab branch concocted Islam via Muhammad, based on his illiterate understanding of Christianity, Judaism, Zorastrianism, and his own tribe's paganism. Muslims take pride in Muhammad being illiterate, which contrasts with Jesus being a rabbi with, by definition, perfect knowledge of the Bible.

Lets lay the blame for this type of behavior to those who's fault it is. The blame for this behavior lies on two groups:

1) The Dearborn politicians in office they have pandered to the Arab Muslims running the festival for three years running. It was just last year that the police where arresting Christians for filming and giving out pamphlets.The politicians signal to the Muslim groups that they can be bought and don't give crap about anything except being elected. The proper response should have been the 1st time the Muslim "youth" hassled Christians the city officials should called together the festival leaders and told them if there was any more trouble there would be no more festival allowed in Dearborn.

2) The main stream media is also to blame. If the major media outlets has covered the story and called the Muslims bigots for starting trouble with Christians for exercising their right of free speech it would have drawn down some negative publicity.

yes, its still America. the preacher was not beaten up and the muslimas were molested that extremely. Muslims have to behave like angels as shown in the video , if this was back home in their islamic hellhole , it would be different story.

correction: meant to say and the muslimas weren't extremely molested.

"There is no way an omnipotent power that created everything would write such vile filth."
The True God is not the author of the Koran.

@Patsy,

As a Christian who has seen many events with anti-Christian protesters, I can PROMISE you that, if the tables were reversed, the Islamic preacher would receive completely different treatment. Even the vile God Hates F**s people don't become physically threatening or steal. And yet this is NORMAL Islamic behavior. People think this guy is stupid because they expect Muslims to be violent and aggressive. I never get over how foul and mean most Muslims behave.

This preacher is a Shaheed (saint) and a very loving and brave man. He knows what he has found in Christ and his heart yearns for his fellow Arabs who live in such darkness and hate.

I do think it is a mistake for him to try to use the Koran to share Christ with these people. I know that there are Christians giving seminars on how to share Jesus from the Koran and all that, but it has a very great danger of legitimizing a very evil book and a false prophet. I say give them the Gospel of Christ straight from the New Testament.

What we also need is a group of people passing out literature offering assistance to those who want to leave Islam, especially battered women. Islam controls people through fear.

Wonder what´s happening if you walk in with a IDF t-shirt (Israeli Defence Force)to this Arab festival in Dearborn?

Probably the same as what happened to this preacher but what if it´s a coordinated mass event with several people wearing this t-shirt?

To bad i live in Sweden otherwise i do the above!

Harassing, threatening, stealing, bellicosely screaming "Allahu Akbar", sneering at the idea of freedom of speech, characterizing Dearborn as "theirs", where Western laws apparently don't apply...

Note, also, the attempt to impose Shari'ah law: "He should be arrested for coming here".

And the "provocation"? Nothing more than a peaceful Christian preacher.

*This* is what happens when Muslims reach anything approaching a critical mass—and it isn't pretty.

This is also indicative of the nexus of Muslim aggression, moronic American "thug culture", and the language of victimhood—where they can threaten a peaceful person, yet still feel aggrieved that he is "disrespecting" them and their religion.

Expect to see much, much, more of this in America and throughout the West.

...........................

Patsy, what did this Christian street preacher do that would "allow Muslims to call foul on us"? While I consider his reference to the Qur'an's supposed respect for the Torah and Gospel a bit off base, I thought he was coherent, peaceful, and very brave in the face of the mob.

Do you believe that we should cede Dearborn, Michigan to Muslim supremacy? Is it now to be considered part of Dar-al-Islam? What's next—Fairfax, Virginia? Tampa, Florida? Fremont, California? Europe is already full of Islamic "No Go" areas.

A major part of Shari'ah law is preventing non-Muslims from being allowed to preach, or even to practice their religion openly.

I'm not trying to give you a hard time—just asking you to think through the consequences of what you are suggesting.

Also, I've seen Jews for Jesus at a Jewish event, and
Scientologists set up outside a Greek festival held at an orthodox church. In both cases, they got a little bit of interest from a handful of people, but were mostly peacefully ignored. The worst I heard was one fellow describe Jews for Jesus as "f*cking idiots" when his friend asked what they were all about.

No one was harassed. No one was threatened, assaulted, or robbed.

By the way, the Dearborn Arab Festival has been held since 1995, and has become increasingly Islamic in tone. The founders of the festival were mostly Arab *Christians*—as are most of the Arabs in America, although you would never know it from the media coverage.

I am one of those strong, men, Isabella.

I tell you, if these Mohammedans keep pushing us, there will be great blood-letting...
