Welcome to ... Michigan?
You are an Islamophobe, although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here, and 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.
Dearborn is an Arab-majority suburb of Detroit. Mayor Abdullah Hammoud was upset that resident Ted Barham was concerned about the city renaming Warren Avenue after a Lebanese-born Muslim newspaper owner, Osama Siblani, who regularly praises Hamas and Hezbollah and calls for the extermination of Israel.
Here is video that the city posted a week ago to celebrate the name change:
As reported by the Free Beacon, Siblani is the founder of an Arab newspaper, The Arab American News, who regularly praises the enemies of Israel, including actual terror groups.
During a September 2024 rally in Dearborn, when Israel was locked in a fierce fight against Hezbollah terrorists on its northern border, Siblani told a crowd chanting 'death to Israel' that the terror group will 'take care of the job' by eradicating the Jewish state, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which monitors radical activity.
Siblani later told the crowd: 'To [Israeli prime minister Benjamin] Netanyahu, who wants to bring [evacuated Israeli civilians back] to the north: We are going to take you back to Poland.'
At a 2022 'Nakba Day rally' meant to honor the 'catastrophe' of Israel's creation, Siblani said the Dearborn Muslim community will 'lift Palestinians all the way to victory' and encouraged his supporters to 'fight.'
'We are the Arabs who are going to lift Palestinians all the way to victory, whether we are in Michigan and whether we are in Jenin,' he said in remarks captured by MEMRI. 'Believe me, everyone should fight within his means. They will fight with stones, others will fight with guns, others will fight with planes, drones, and rockets, others will fight with their voices, and others will fight with their hands and say: "Free, free Palestine!'"
Despite this pro-terror, pro-Islamist rhetoric, Sibani recently accompanied Michigan gov. Gretchen Whitmer on a trip to the United Arab Emirates.
Whitmer also attended Siblani's 70th birthday party in January, photos MEMRI compiled show.
A few responses:
To be fair to Dearborn's mayor, taking over a non-Muslim city and then forcing all the non-Muslims to submit (the literal meaning of "Islam" and "Muslim") is the foundation of the Islamic faith.
'Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.' - Surah At-Tawbah (9:29)
