New in PJ Media:
The alarming scene that unfolded last Friday in Dearborn, Mich., with Muslim protesters chanting “Death to America,” has resulted in some fallout for the city’s mayor, Abdullah Hammoud. While Old Joe Biden and his henchmen are happily taking a wrecking ball to the former Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, they don’t go around telegraphing their intentions.
Their friends in Dearborn were a bit too forthright about what the ultimate goal of the policies that the left and their Islamic allies really are, so reassuring words had to be uttered and the public put back to sleep. Hammoud found, however, that at least some people had been jolted away much too rudely for that to be possible.
Hammoud entreated the world Monday not to believe its lying eyes, but to heed his soothing words instead. “Over the weekend,” he wrote, “video emerged of a rally in Dearborn where some attendees were chanting statements that were unacceptable and contrary to the heart of this city. We reject all inflammatory and violent statements made at the gathering.” That was a swell disavowal, but it was glaring that Hammoud said nothing about investigating the people involved.
Instead, the earnest young mayor continued, “Dearborn is a city of proud Americans; the hateful rhetoric heard on Friday does not reflect the opinion of the members of this community. The Dearborn community stands for peace and justice for all people. We are proud to call this city and this country home.” While he intended this to tamp down the controversy, it only ended up making matters worse, because Hammoud’s description of Dearborn diverged so widely from what is generally known about the city.
Back in February, the Wall Street Journal an op-ed noting that “a local headline describing an Oct. 10 event at the Ford Performing Arts Center read ‘Michigan rally cheers Hamas attack.’” It quoted Imam Imran Salha of the Islamic Center of Detroit in Dearborn calling for the “demise” of Israel. Another Dearborn-area imam, Usama Abdulghani, “called Oct. 7 ‘one of the days of Allah’ and a ‘miracle come true.’ He described the attackers as ‘honorable.’”
In response to all that and much more, Hammoud didn’t denounce the Hamas supporters and affirm his city’s rejection of jihad violence. Instead, he went into full victim mode, announcing that Dearborn police would “ramp up its presence across all places of worship and major infrastructure points. This is a direct result of the inflammatory @WSJ opinion piece that has led to an alarming increase in bigoted and Islamophobic rhetoric online targeting the city of Dearborn. Stay vigilant.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Since they hate the US so much, they are free to leave and go to where they think it is so much better.
drew webb says
But we know they won’t, not now, not tomorrow, they are too firmly entrenched.
Joe says
They came to conquer (not retreat).
Betty says
agree 100%
somehistory says
They always say they are “proud” Americans instead of saying, as Lee Greenwood sang, “I’m proud to **be** an American.”
Recall what has been said about the mozlums in afghanistan….”proud” and “noble”
There is a difference. mozlums are saturated in islam’s arrogance which makes them “proud” wherever they are….because they are mozlums.
None of those calling for the ‘death’ of this country…which would mean the death of all non mozlums if mozlums have their desires fulfilled, really are “proud to be American.” They just carry the false pride of their vanity instilled in them by their clerics, their barracks, their families and their book of demon filth.
Wellington says
I don’t believe a word of what he says. Muslims in America should always be considered a fifth column just as Marxists and Neo-Nazis should be.
If you adhere to a totalitarian ideology, and Islam is as totalitarian as Nazism and Marxism and no other major religion remotely is, you are inimical to what created America even if out of massive ignorance you don’t grasp this. Such ignorance is no excuse and such people are still parasites feeding upon the altar of liberty.
America was created IN SPITE OF and NOT BECAUSE OF such polluted belief systems as Marxism, Nazism and, yes, Islam. One knows this or should know it. No wiggle room here.
Islam could have never established America. It took the Judeo-Christian world in combination with the best of ancient Greece and Rome and medieval and early modern England to do so. Islam had NOTHING to do with the foundation of America. Averring otherwise would be opinions rooted in ignorance or mendacity.
Ray Jarman says
Wellington, here is a link that shows sub-human scum entering the field of psychiatrics at major universities where one of the females says that suicide of Aaron Bushnell, the U.S. serviceman who set himself on fire in February to protest U.S. support for Israel—or, as Izar put it, “indigenous Palestine.” One of the two, Dr. Izar, is wearing her hijab. “The presentation argued he could also be considered a “martyr,” a man in full control of his mental faculties who had responded rationally to a “genocide” unfolding thousands of miles away.”

Ray,
What these Leftist psychiatrists are saying is so radical they should have their medical licenses revoked – along with some “time on the couch”.
Wellington says
Thanks for that, Ray. What a disgrace that these two are psychiatrists. And shame on UCLA as well.

we have already played cowboys and Indians, it might be time to play cowboys and Muslims

We cant play cowboys and muslims until we have played cowboys and establishment. First things first. I wouldn’t be surprised to find Indians on our side in that. Its a strange new world.

“Death to America”
I’m not sure why Dearborn is being singled out. There seems to be a lot of that going around.
Westman says
Dearborn is 47% Muslim and yet, despite the Mayor’s effort, make no effort themselves to disown Hamas and its murderous attack on Israel settlers. If there is no recognition here, in the greatest concentration of Muslims in America, then it’s obvious that Muslim Americans, in the majority, are simply living in America without assimilating.
When Turkey’s Erdogan goes to another country to campaign for re-election it’s obvious that migrating Muslims tend to identify first with the Ummah and country of origin while calling themselves French, German, Dutch, Brits, Americans, etc – only meaning they live in the host nation not that they have taken on the culture. No-go zones are tribal camps with houses.
tgusa says
They dont have any intention to assimilate. Their intention is to absorb. They are similar to the blob which devours and dissolves anything in its path as it grows.
somehistory says
Yeah, look how big it became after just the old man, the nurse and the doctor. Imagine if the entire town was taken over.
tgusa says
I know. Sadly, we got no Steve McQueen to save the day.
PRCS says
So many U.S. Muslims are graduates of our law schools for one reason: lawfare.
tgusa says
You are right. PRCS, even worse they are in overlooked places (right in front of our eyes) such as taxi drivers, truck drivers, hotel clerks, who knows what or where, etc etc. Anything and everything for the benefit of the jihad within the USA.
If you intend to win a battle you better have good logistics.
We are coming up on the 250th anniversary of our USA Republic. Some of us today remember the 200th anniversary we had back in 76. As much as we disagreed back than it wasn’t anything close to what we see today. Compared with76 and today. A a totally different country (to all of our detriment).
PRCS says
Stationed in San Diego in ’76. Much military equipment (aircraft, ships, tanks, you name it, were emblazoned with spectacular ‘Spirit of 76’ paint schemes then.
Yes, in so many respects, it’s been an unfortunate, long downhill slide.
tgusa says
Near me a concrete dam that could be seen from the freeway had a giant flag painted on it with a reference of 1776 – 1976. Its still there although a bit weathered.
Thomas Traddles says
Obama. He’s wanted Muslim enclaves all over the West, the minute he got in that White House. He came to Downing Street last month to tell Sunak to keep bringing them in to the UK while Obama is piling them in over the Southern border.
All Western leaders are in on it while the World concentrates on Transgenderism.

The New York City Council opened its Thursday meeting with an invocation praising Allah and recognized islam as the supreme deity.
Live from NYC, Death to America!
somehistory says
Evil is spreading rapidly.
tgusa says
They haven’t learned a damn thing since 9-11 and since then there is plenty of evidence as to their intentions not just in NYC but throughout the world. Everyday I see more and more articles pertaining to Americas decent in to an idiocracy.
“The Moon is made of mostly gasses. Earthquakes in New Jersey are related to climate change. Porn in elementary schools is just fine. Guam will tip over if too many people are there. And on and on and on. Boy do I miss the old days.

DONE DONE DONE Jesus is just about DONE with the West.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article, the young mayor continued:
“Dearborn is a city of proud Americans; the hateful rhetoric heard on Friday does not reflect the opinion of the members of this community.”
How does he know this to be true?
Has he conducted surveys of the residents?
StacyGirl says
The hateful rhetoric…”I have been made victorious through terror.” “…in the last days, even the trees and rocks will cry out, there is a Jew behind me …kill him.” I drove by a Christian Church recently which had a sign (placed beneath a LGBTxyz striped flag) reading “Ramadan Mubarak.” While this ignorance persists, it will be hard to save people.

“Biden campaign: We don’t want the votes of ‘Death to America’ protesters in Michigan”
“The Biden campaign said it does not want the votes of those caught on video chanting “Death to America” during a recent anti-Israel rally in the 2024 battleground state of Michigan.
A Dearborn crowd was led in chants of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” by Michigan-based activist Tarek Bazzi during last Friday’s International Al-Quds Day rally.
When asked if the president was still courting those agitators, who typically lean Democrat, Biden campaign spokesperson Charles Lutvak replied, “No.”
Bazzi’s remarks were also denounced by the White House.
“The White House condemns these abhorrent and antisemitic remarks in the strongest terms,” deputy press secretary Andrew Bates told Fox News Digital. “As President Biden has said, America is the greatest nation on Earth and a beacon to the world.””
