A cheerful report from CNN.
For decades, Hamtramck was known as Michigan’s “Little Warsaw,” a city of just two square miles of tightly-packed houses and factories, spitting distance from downtown Detroit.
In the 99 years since its incorporation, every mayor of Hamtramck has been Polish American. That ends January 2, in Hamtramck’s centenary year, when Amer Ghalib will be inaugurated, along with an entirely Muslim city council.
Hamtramck will become the first known city in the US with a government made up entirely of Muslims, according to the Muslim Public Affairs Council, which says it has no record of any other such administration.
The news network couldn’t be more thrilled at the displacement.
Hamtramck is a palimpsest — where new immigrants have laid layers of culture and society on top of what was already there. You can enjoy a sizzling Yemeni foul — a spicy bean stew — and flatbread for breakfast, and still find a kielbasa or a pierogi for lunch. And Hamtramck is now back on the rise, one of the fastest growing cities in Michigan, census figures show.
Actually, it’s the poorest town in Michigan.
Hamtramck was ranked the poorest town in Michigan in a 24/7 Wall St. analysis examining small, lower-income communities where households earn much less than the nation’s median annual household income.
With a population of 21,941, Hamtramck recorded a median home value of $64,500, based on the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2018 American Community Survey.
Hamtramck’s poverty rate was pegged at 49.1 percent, and its median annual household income came in at $25,478.
It also has the school district with the second-highest child poverty rate in the state. You can get Yemeni foul, but some 84% of kids are on subsidized or free lunches.
That’s some palimpsest.

The First All-Muslim Government is the Poorest Town in Michigan
…………..
Hiow is this in any way representative? Hamtramck is not all Musim. But then, when Muslims come to power, they don’t care about such things–they just flex their muscles as much as possible. This is a Muslim beach-head–I fear for the Polish-American and other Infidels still there.
Infidel says
Well, what is voter participation like? If all the locals are apathetic and the bulk of those voting are muslims, that’s what you get
I’m just surprised that Hamtramck got there before Dearborn: I thought that the latter was the Mecca of America (not referring here to California’s Mecca off the I-10 freeway)

Of course, this was after they were sued by surpremacist Muslims…
tim gallagher says
Having a town anywhere that has an all Muslim government seems like a bad sign in any country. I was thinking of the situation in Australia. I think we have around 2% Muslims. However, so far they are concentrated in certain suburbs of the big cities, mainly Sydney and Melbourne, and so far they have never become totally dominant in those suburbs. I think maybe around 25% or so of the population in a few suburbs are Muslim. This town mentioned in this report, with a population of 22,000, is a different kind of thing to what has happened in Australia so far. I guess it could happen in the future and a small town could be taken over by Muslims. I hope it doesn’t happen. No sign of it so far.
gravenimage says
So true, Tim. Muslims here in the US make up less than 1% of the population, but they have come to dominate at least two towns in Michigan–the one mentioned above and larger Dearborn.
They have also warped politics in other cities and regions, including major city Minneapolis. And this will just embolden them.
somehistory says
Yes, they are so very proud of what they have accomplished….to get this little town with some nice history, down to the bottom rung so the kids can be further manipulated in their young minds….”look what the big bad infidels cause…you are poor and it’s all their fault.”
“Yemeni foul.” mozlums fouling a nice little town with islam’s filth.
How many infidels voted for these foul thinkers? Their kids deserve so much better.
tim gallagher says
I can well imagine how proud the Muslims would be, somehistory, about the inroads they are making. Non-Muslims will be made to feel extremely unwelcome by the Muslims without a doubt in the world.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the information, gravenimage. It is an alarming trend. I guess that these towns will become like those no go Muslim zones that the Muslims have created in France and some other countries. Non-Muslims will be made very unwelcome. I haven’t been to them for years, since I have no interest in going to them, but I think non-Muslims feel pretty unwelcome in some of the Sydney suburbs where the Muslim populations are very substantial. Because the Muslims tend to be in the suburbs in the big cities, and as Keith O points out down below, apparently Brisbane is another such city, I can’t imagine a small Australian town being taken over by Muslims, but who knows in the future.
somehistory says
A few years ago, I watched a video a guy made…in his car… and on the street in a town in MI…I believe it was this same one….showing how many burkas there were, how many mozlum women pushing strollers with multiple kids, and the stores that sold to mozlums….their nasty foods…and the full barracks with the males all in their mozlum attire.
He spoke about how fast the town had changed and no longer looked like it was in the U.S.
It has surely gotten much worse since then…esp now with the all-mozlum gov.
somehistory says
We will have to see if they change the name…from the one with part pork…to something more islamic and dominating, subjugating and subversive.
tim gallagher says
Yes, it is a bad sign, somehistory. Still, gravenimage mentioned that the USA still has only 1% Muslims in the population, so your country is doing well. I’m pretty sure Australia has 2%. When you end up like France and have 8%, you are in very big trouble I believe. This crappy place in Michigan, mentioned in the report, is one place I wouldn’t waste a second of my time going anywhere near, that’s for sure.
gravenimage says
Tim, if Biden has his way the Muslim population will skyrocket here.
tim gallagher says
Idiocy from the Biden administration is just what I would expect, gravenimage. You would think by now that the leaders of most countries would be waking up to all the trouble that Muslims are bound to cause in any non-Muslim country they are allowed into. There are so many slow learners around who are still very much into denying reality. A skyrocketing Muslim population is the last thing any country should want.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Tim.
Keith O says
Hey Tim, Your right, we have a couple of suburbs in Brisbane that are being taken over like that.
Moorooka is a prime example, where you can play the game of “spot the Aussie” and come up empty handed most times.
There is also Gatton out to the west with a population of about 7,000 and where it is not uncommon to see full garbage bags walking the streets. The current estimate is around 700-800 mudslimes in the district.
I have personally witnessed an incident of a mudslime bashing his wife in public, however it didn’t end well for the male. Several local men delivered some attitude adjustment and counselling on the correct way to treat women.
If only this would happen in the cities!
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the information, Keith O. I had no idea what was happening in Brisbane though it is definitely not unexpected. The Muslim wife beater would have got a shock. He might think about pissing off back to a Muslim country where he can be sure that no one would stop him beating his wife since it is hunky dory for Muslims to do that.
gravenimage says
Keith, there are many parts of Hamtramck where all the women are in Niqabs. There are at least 13 Mosques in this small town.
Jim says
The problem in Minneapolis is the Democrats who dominate. The Muslims are their allies and are concentrated in an area called Cedar Riverside, near the University and not far from downtown. There they seem to practice Muslim customs, at least as far as women’s costumes go. And of course Ilhan Omar is in Congress, representing her African Muslim country more than America. She is an American citizen but not an American. But through the power of the Democrats in the city and state, she can probably continue with her support for CAIR and opposition to Israel, Jews and American values. And one wishes they were not there. But they are, and the leftists will keep on bringing them in as part of their Gramscian project. So, Let’s go Brandon, USA.
somehistory says
Since her entry to the U.S. was by means of fraud, she should lose her “citizenship” and be deported as the criminal…lied to Congress, committed fraud in marrying her brother to get him into the country, etc…..she is. And she should be made to admit her name is elmi…not omar.
Wellington says
Sharia creep. Nothing good will come of this lest it be further exposure of just how rotten Islam truly is.
I look upon all Muslims in a Western nation as parasites since Islam itself is replete with parasitism (a proclivity toward violence and much intolerance as well).
Islam could have never founded the United States of America. But it could harm it greatly or even destroy it, temporarily aided by a bevy of clueless Leftists and many apathetic and willfully ignorant people.
gravenimage says
Grimly true, Wellington.
nicholas tesdorf says
Muslims in the US may make up less than 1% of the population, but they have the enthusiastic support of something known as the Democrat Party which used to represent about half of the US population. Fortunately, in Australia with 2% Muslim population representation, no such arrangement is in existence.
Kagman says
And why not?? We’ve had muslim president…. This is a sign of things to come… And it’s pathetic, S-stained liberals who will boastingly foist them on us, in the name of ‘diversity’.
Just keep in mind that Iraq did not create Iraq, Iraqis did. Afghanistan did not create Afghanistan, Afghanis did. How many of these genetically programmed violent felons will it take to destroy this nation??? Well, we know how many it will take to destroy a small town in Michigan.
The only way to end this assault on our nation is to do the unthinkable. Get it done and leave it to history. The future of the greatest nation on earth is at stake.
PRCS says
Are they ever asked–being “good” Muslims–before an election–how they might vote on potential laws which would make lawful what “Allah” and Muhammad have made unlawful?
gravenimage says
Sadly few even know enough about Islam to know to ask.
somehistory says
I like to chill out with old movies and tv shows. Last night, I watched Roger Moore in the Saint. He went to a fictious country that was located next to Kuwait,
A friend had asked him to go with her to see about her father who had found an oil filed there and had reportedly been killed.
The guy in charge of the country, who had a young son who was a “Prince” was called by the characters in the show, an “imam.” They would probably have called him an “emir” had they known more about islam and mozlums.
It’s difficult to get to the truth of anything, to find out things one doesn’t know without an interest and most people are just too busy to notice enough to become interested in knowing more.
Just look around at some of your neighbors and find out what they talk about. How many even mention islam or mozlums or terrorism? Everywhere the same.
somehistory says
This type is so pale, hard to see. I was trying to type field and put filed. Oops. My fingers are sometimes rebellious.
gravenimage says
Sadly most people I know know next to nothing about Islam–worse, many don’t *want* to know.
Bikinis not Burkas says
The thin edge of the wedge because no American has the guts to stop it!
Michael Copeland says
Here and Round Us
Invited in as a voter base by the Left,
Keeping their language, customs, and multiple wives,
Advised they could live off welfare, most of them do:
By postal voting fraud they elect their own.
Wilfully driving our teachers out of the schools,
They bully our children — some even ending their lives —
Ensnare our under-age girls as sexual slaves,
And attack our boys: Kriss Donald was tortured to death.
Inflicting on all of us meat that was cruelly slaughtered,
Expressing their strength in aggressive and menacing crowds,
They threaten and drive our people out of the towns,
And settle together to form their apartheid state.
They openly curse police and abuse the State,
Imposing by force their unconstitutional rules.
Misleadingly feeding the press with deliberate lies,
They blacken and smear any writers who tell the truth.
The texts they recite instruct them to ambush and kill us.
We are their enemy: this is their “Realm of War”.
Commanded to view us with hatred as lower than beasts,
They’re permitted to use deception, and lie to us all.
Disclaiming loyalty here to our state and laws,
Their men conspire to do killings at home and abroad:
They scheme and plan to murder with home-made bombs.
The intention is clear that we walk in fear of our lives.
They are here and round us.
somehistory says
The poor boy you write about…Kriss Donald…that’s a terrible thing I did not recall. The scum who did that should all hang.
Thank you for remembering him.
Michael Copeland says
https://gatesofvienna.net/2019/03/i-fought-back/
somehistory says
So very horrible, and I too am glad this other child “fought back.” Perhaps Kriss did too, but was not big and strong enough and there were more against him.
I agree with the comment by “LIsa” and also the commenters who say the article is well-written.
It’s terrible to have to read of such things, but if more people did, the knowledge that mozlums want us all dead, and that they truly enjoy the killings, would be better recognized.
gravenimage says
Some of Kriss Donald’s murderers fled back to Pakistan. Of the killers who were found, four received life in prison, one jsut five years, but he testified against the others. After a huge diplomatic effort, three of the other murderers were finally extradicted from Pakistan. They each received over twenty years in prison.
The police admitted they had long ignored violence by “Asian gangs”.
The BBC and the rest of the media barely reported on this case, and came under criticism for this.
But these supposedly stiff sentences turned out–surprise, surprise–to be anything but. Many of these murderers have already gotten out–and they have not been deported, either.
Several of the killers have been aggressive and violent in prison. Zahid Mohammed (now Yusef Harris) was released but has been rearrested on charges involving weapons, threats and driving his vehicle at police,. Several others have also been released and rearrested on various charges, and at least one of them was killed by other gang members.
mortimer says
Poorest town? The key question we all want answered is whether it will now become richer or even poorer as a result of Islamic management.
gravenimage says
I imagine the growing Muslim population has been adding to Hamtramck’s economic woes for some time now.
Hank says
“Amer Ghalib will be inaugurated, along with an entirely Muslim city council.”
Brandon is on track.
Davidka says
Although not mentioned, the Muslims have also engaged in brutal physical violence against non-Muslims, resulting in them fleeing while Muslims move in. Older people especially are not safe either on the streets or in their homes. Nor are their children in the schools.
We may expect the usual level of corruption in this city, with Muslims controlling the city government and in a position to hire their cousins and award contracts to Muslims as well.
What level of integrity and protection may we expect from a police force controlled by Muslims and which will be increasingly populated by Muslims?
gravenimage says
True, David. Hamtramck is in the 9th percentile for safety–a terrible figure.
And yet, some idiots want to completely “defund” Hamtamck’s police department:
“OPINION: Hamtramck does not need a police department
Replacing the majority-white police force with unarmed resident responders would be a step into the future”
https://www.modeldmedia.com/features/op-ed-hamtramck-pd-resilient-neighborhoods.aspx
Imagine how much worse things would be there if there was no one to police the town?
Dum Spiro says
The AlarmedPigFarmer had better sell the remainder of his bacon ? in Hamtramck by New Year’s Day!

I haven’t heard from the Alarmed Pig Farmer here for some time. Hope he’s OK.
OLD GUY says
Sadly this is just the beginning of the Islamic migration invasion takeover of AMERICA. As their numbers increase they will gain political power and will destroy everything non-islamic.
