A Michigan suburb with the largest Muslim population in the US has upped its security in fear of hate attacks after it was branded America's 'jihad capital.'
The headline of a Wall Street Journal opinion piece published on Friday read 'Welcome to Dearborn, America's Jihad Capital' - a title given to the city by the publication because of its residents' pro-Palestine stances.
The contentious article was written by Steven Stalinsky, who is a commentator on terrorism and has served as executive director of the Middle East Media Research Institute, based in Washington DC, since 1999.

I know this is mean. But sounds like an excellent place for resuming nuclear testing.

You will not see Jews attacking mosques. But Muslims regularly attack synagogues. Just look at a pro is really demonstration, peaceful, orderly, and clean versus a pro Palestinian, demonstration, violent, hateful, and riotous

Will Dearborn create their own militia for 'protection'? Will they be allowed to launch pre-emptive strikes to stop hate crimes?

The WSJ article is truth. I lived in the area for years. Dearborn is full of radical Muslims who hate America. On 9/11 they were dancing the streets. I saw it live.

The cops are guarding Mosques??? WTH is going on? Send them all back to where they came from...

The cops now tasked to guard mosques are the same ones directed to ensure that the streets are cleared and safe when the locals demonstrate against Israel and spew antisemitism enmasse. Islamophobia? Forbidden. Antisemitism? Encouraged. Dearborn is the first of what will be many regional voting blocks that will ultimately bring down our Constitution and the country as we know it. Where do they target next? Selfish of me, I know, but glad I won't be around to experience it all.

San Francisco has a poop map. Dearborn needs a mosque map. And for the same reason: a place you don't ever want to 'step in'. And will the mayor put police protection around Christian churches and Synagogues? If not, isn't this the first sign of an establishment of a de facto 'State Religion'? They should write in their mayor's name for President in 2024. That'll show Biden.

Islamophobic attacks? Like 9/11, 10/7, the Boston bombers, and daily attacks on Jews by Muslims throughout this country?
There are basically no attacks on Muslims.

I see the Muslims have taken a leaf out of the AA playbook: when caught red handed, scream "racism," or in this case, "Islamaphobia."

The WSJ told the truth. Because it's very un PC,the truth is unacceptable. Too bad .If we are to survive as a republic we need truth tellers.

Islamophobia is kind of like volcanophobia, which is not especially rational unless you live next to one that's about to erupt...

If you don't want to worry about islamophobic attacks don't do stupid islamic stuff and insult Christians. That Coexist thing works both ways, key prefix being "Co." We gave you a pass after 9/11 but it won't happen again.

This is going to happen all over our Country. Muslims came to Dearborn as Doctors working in local Hospitals. Then their Families and Friends came and on and on. Soon they had a Muslim Candidate for Mayor and guess what, they were able to get him into that Office. Now they're in Charge! The same thing is going to happen in many other Cities where Illegal are allowed to gather by the Thousands. Soon they will be allowed to VOTE and when that happens, they will put their People into Office and THEY will be in Charge. It already has happened in Cities where Blacks have gained a majority. They now have Their People in the Mayor's office and many other City Offices. They are now in Charge! White Folks need not apply! Get ready for it. It's been Obama's Plan all along. He said he would Fundamentally Change this Country and he is carrying that promise from City to City! Unless we begin to deport the MILLIONS that Biden had allowed in, we should expect things to rapidly change our World! The Illegals WILL be in Charge!

Apologize for the second post, but seeing what is going on in Michigan and Minnehaha Land, you might want to read the trilogy (Assassins) by Robert Ferrigno...a post apolyptic view of what it would be like if Muslims controlled the northern 1/2 of the country...sometimes sci fi seems like it actually looks into the future...I have them in my collection and it may be time to revisit them...

Something I read a few weeks ago, I don't know why said it first, so can't take credit it for it.
When muslims are the minority it's all about 'minority rights.' When muslims are the majority there is no such thing as 'minority rights.'

Who was the genius democrat President that thought it would be a great idea to import hordes of Muslims and their unfixable jihad problem into suburban Detroit?
Just like our current invasion at our southern border, it was not a good idea then or now. Thanks democrats for screwing up the country.

Looks like the wall street journal is running low on readers...so they had to print something that would get attention....I lived in Canada for sometime...and it was a joke that the muslims flew into Canada and then slipped across the border into the USA...and that was 25 years ago....so take your 25,000 illegals muslims and put them up against 350,000,000 real American citizens...and then I'll worry about it....

Maybe these Dearborn muzzies would feel less on edge back in Suckistan, where their religion of peace is practiced.
Islamaphobia exists for good reasons, starting with September 11.

I object to the term "Islamophobia". A phobia, by definition, is an irrational fear. When people are afraid and angry about the way that Moslems act, that is not a phobia. It is an evidence-based opinion.
