Dearbornistan, Michigan: June 21, 2009

Earlier today, Pastorius posted the same video that I have included in this posting.

Some background for the video....

According to the Detroit News on June 17, 2009, an evangelical group called Arabic Christian Perspective has filed a law suit against the city of Detroit for violating the group's access to the 14th annual Dearborn Arab International Festival:

A group that aims to convert Muslims to Christianity has sued the city of Dearborn and its Police Department, claiming the city is violating its free speech and religious rights by limiting its access to patrons at this weekend's 14th annual Dearborn Arab International Festival.

The group, Arabic Christian Perspective, filed a lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Detroit, alleging its rights were violated when Dearborn police told the group its members would not be able to walk freely through the festival's four- to five-block area passing out literature promoting Christianity over Islam. Organizers want to confine the group to a designated area, the lawsuit said.

[...]

The group says the city and festival organizers have no legal right to block them from public sidewalk....

If you haven't already done so, please take the time to watch all ten minutes of the following video portraying an occurrence at the festival:



The YouTube text is below the fold:

This is a video of David Wood and Nabeel Qureshi asking questions at Arabfest, Dearborn. The date is June 21st, 2009. There was a booth at the festival which had a banner titled "Islam: Got Questions? Get Answers." From their table, we picked up a pamphlet claiming that Islam promotes peace. We noticed that it was full of poor logic and errors, so we decided to make a video refuting it. We went to the booth that gave us the pamphlet to give them the opportunity to defend their claims. Security, however, stepped in and forced us to turn off our camera.

We left the booth, received advice from police, and found out that the actions of the security guards were illegal. We went back to the booth to record a potential answer again. Realizing that the Muslims present had no answer, we left.

When we came outside, we were asked some questions by two young men, who had been sent by security to entrap us. While we responded to them, festival security started assaulting us, as you will see in this video. The conclusion of this video is a mob of festival security attacking our cameras, pushing us back, kicking our legs, and lying to the police.

We ask you, is it a coincidence that the city with the highest percentage of Muslims in the United States is the city where Christianity is not allowed to be represented (let alone preached) on a public sidewalk? Is it coincidence that in this city, people will say "No way!" when we say "This is the United States of America"?

Is this what will happen when Islam takes over the United States?

I understand that Moslems resent having their worldview challenged. But if that's the case, then why put up a banner advertising answers about Islam and thereby challenge passersby to question Islam? Of course, if only Moslems or nearly-persuaded "reverts" are permitted to take up the challenge, then no real challenge has been issued.

The UK is often cited and even vilified by counter-jihadists for its dhimmitude in the face of Islamic supremacism and displays thereof.

I say, "America had better not be so smug." Today, the United States is on a similar path, albeit earlier on that path. Is it unreasonable to assume that Dearborn, Michigan, will become a no-go area for all infidels and that American rights there will no longer be recognized or upheld?
