On Thursday, The Federalist<\/a> posted an article about a lawsuit that is going to have an impact for beyond the state it is filed in.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

On Sept. 17, the American Freedom Law Center filed a landmark lawsuit<\/a> on behalf of a Dearborn, Michigan, resident, alleging<\/a> that the Arab-majority Detroit suburb, led by Muslim<\/a> officials<\/a>, has promoted Islam and discriminated against and fostered hostility towards Christians and Jews \u2014 in violation of the Constitution\u2019s establishment clause.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The details of the case brought by my courageous colleague, Federalist Senior Legal Correspondent Margot Cleveland, are shocking. She alleges that Dearborn\u2019s leaders have endorsed glitzy Ramadan displays and advertised an iftar dinner with public funds. Conversely, they have allegedly ignored Cleveland\u2019s requests for comparable commemorations for Christian and Jewish holidays and sidestepped concerns over public rallies glorifying jihadism. They have also berated<\/a> a Christian pastor and fellow constituent. Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud called Pastor Ted Barham a \u201cbigot\u201d and \u201cIslamophobe\u201d who \u201cis not welcome here\u201d when he questioned the city\u2019s renaming of a city street for an avowed Hamas and Hezbollah supporter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The complaint cites past instances where courts have found the city to have discriminated against non-Muslims.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

The suit claims that \u201cacts, customs, policies, practices, and\/or procedures that favor Muslims and discriminate against Christians and Jews\u201d reflect the mayor\u2019s \u201cmessage \u2026 that Christians and Jews are not welcome \u2026 and are, indeed, second-class citizens<\/em>.\u201d [Emphasis added.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Islam is a proselytizing religion. To bring the world under Allah\u2019s command, it calls for employing means including persuasion, subversion, coercion, and violent jihad. Allah\u2019s rule takes the form of sharia law, governing not only religious practices but all aspects of life, public and private. Sharia abides neither freedom of religion nor speech, brooks no dissent, subjugates women and minorities, and imposes a host of illiberal rules.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Islam does not preach coexistence with non-Muslims. It preaches subjugation. The tenets of Islam, such as Sharia Law, are incompatible with America’s Constitution. One of the basic tenets of Islam is that non-Muslims should either be killed or relegated to being second-class citizens who pay a yearly tax to live. This is NOT a religion–it is a political movement, and it is a mistake to give Islam a foothold anywhere in America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
