“I want to tell you as mayor, you are not welcome here.”
A flock of chickens have come home to roost for Dearborn, Michigan, and its mayor, Abdullah Hammoud. He and his administration are being sued for violating the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution, and the evidence supporting the claim is overwhelming. More on this lawsuit can be found here: “Journalist Sues Dearborn and Its Mayor for Anti-Christian, Anti-Jewish Discrimination,” by Dexter Van Zile, Middle East Forum, September 18, 2026:
…A year and a few days after Hammoud berated a local pastor who complained about the mayor’s praise for a Hezbollah supporter, Margot Cleveland, a journalist and legal commentator who writes for The Federalist, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against Hammoud and the city he governs. The suit, filed by the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) on September 17, 2026, accuses the city and its leaders of violating the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits government institutions from showing preference for one religion over another.
“For too long, the City of Dearborn has been a hostile place for Christians and Jews. Defendant Hammoud has taken this hostility to the next level, openly conveying the message that Christians and Jews are not welcome in the city and are, indeed, second-class citizens,” the complaint declares, echoing arguments previously made in the pages of Focus on Western Islamism.
The complaint details a pattern of alleged religious favoritism dating back to April 2025, when Cleveland discovered the city had spent public funds—roughly $1,500 on “Ramadan Kareem” banners and $5,000 on a lit crescent-moon display in a municipal park—while providing no equivalent recognition for Lent or the approaching Passover holiday. According to the suit, Cleveland’s subsequent request that the city treat Christian and Jewish holidays with the same public recognition went unanswered, even as the city’s police department sold Ramadan-themed shirts bearing its official emblem and Hammoud used his government email to promote an Iftar event. The lawsuit alleges the disparity only widened in 2026, when the city installed additional lighted Ramadan displays that Hammoud himself described as reflecting “who we are as a city,” while the City Council’s budget that same year again included no funding for comparable Christian or Jewish observances despite a budget surplus and Cleveland’s repeated public appeals.
“Neither [city attorney] Mr. Romer nor anyone else from the City responded to Plaintiff’s email,” the complaint reports.
The suit brings three claims: a First Amendment retaliation claim alleging that the city and Hammoud punished Cleveland for her journalism and advocacy by freezing her out of communications and public meetings; a Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection claim alleging she was treated worse than similarly situated residents because of her religious and political viewpoints; and an Establishment Clause claim alleging the city unconstitutionally preferred Islam over Christianity and Judaism through its sponsorship of religious displays and events. The complaint points to Hammoud’s own public statement that the Ramadan program reflects “who we are as a city” as evidence of an official government endorsement of one faith over others, and asks the court for a declaratory judgment, an injunction against the city’s allegedly discriminatory practices, nominal damages, and attorneys’ fees….
Bring on the lawsuit and let justice be done. I hope the plaintiff’s lawyers run up a big bill, because I have no doubt that Mayor Hammoud will end up paying for Ms. Cleveland’s “legal fees.” And Abdullah Hammoud, properly chastened, will have to change his favoring of Islam or face another suit, where the same or another plaintiff may request much more than those legal fees. The mayor himself could be on the hook for a sum that will cause him considerable inconvenience. Let us hope.
Frank Anderson says
Fees can be recovered for a successful civil rights suit pursuant to 42 United States Code Section 1983 by the provisions of Section 1988. The mayor and all public officials are exposed to civil rights claims under the US Supreme Court case Hafer v. Melo which REVERSED the case Will v. State of Michigan of the same 1991 year.
Criminal charges should be prosecuted for corruption in office. See for example United States v. Gary Greenough and United States v. Dan Alexander from the Southern District of Alabama, generally around 1985. All statutes and cases are available for free online.

What’s your prognosis!
Frank Anderson says
I have presented many “cases of first impression”. I have won many but not all of them. If I were still practicing and handling this case, I would FORCE detailed description of Islamic teaching into the appeal record by including important parts in the pleading. Most of my opponents were lazy. They relied on “notice pleading” and expected to prove their cases by testimony if it ever reached trial. When they ran into the brick wall of detail and facts in my pleading they had nothing to do but bleed and lose or depend on corruption and influence to save what they could. If an appeal is necessary, waiting for a trial that may never happen is too late to build a record.
Making the case based on a detailed showing of what Islam has taught and practiced for 1400 years through documents and expert testimony, especially sworn pre-trial statements, would, in my opinion, build the same brick wall of fact and law that destroyed my opponents’ cases before they started.
With ample support this case should be won and serve as one precedent to stop the Islamic conquest of the United States. That’s my opinion to which many will disagree.
Frank Anderson says
Please READ the case United States v. Gary Greenough, 609 F. Supp 1090 from the Southern District of Alabama 1985. The opinion contains an extremely good and detailed explanation of the US law on conspiracy, which is similar to law in many other countries.
A conspiracy is an agreement of 2 or more persons [WITHOUT UPPER LIMIT] to act illegally or to use illegal means for an otherwise lawful purpose and ANY overt act by ANY participant pursuant to that goal. The knowledge of one member is the knowledge of ALL. The acts of one member are the acts of ALL. There is no time limit on the existence and duration of a conspiracy.
Islam, by its own admission, is a conspiracy to conquer, enslave and murder the entire world. The goal is shown repeatedly in its writings and teachings for 1400 years. It cannot change: Any reform or moderation, as has been accomplished by Judaism over 3700 years, is punishable in Islam by death as blasphemy, heresy and apostasy.
Islam teaches and practices for 1400 years that lying whenever advantage can be obtained is encouraged. The filing by the plaintiffs of a VERIFIED complaint explaining this sets up the Muslims to either admit the truth or lie in their sworn pleading, handing the plaintiffs victory. A Verified Complaint must be extremely detailed and totally correct and supported by evidence and opposed by a Verified Answer. Any defect in either is destructive to the case of the party offering the pleading.
Any sworn statement (affidavit/Declaration Under Penalty of Perjury) submitted by the plaintiffs should include the statement that the affiant willingly agrees to testify and submit to cross-examination at trial or deposition at reasonable scheduling demands. This negates the argument “I can’t cross-examine a piece of paper.”
The plaintiffs need to be familiar thoroughly with the Similar Acts and Common Plan or Scheme to show that the complained use of public funds is STANDARD for Muslim takeovers in many times and places.
In my dreams, Robert Spencer, Mark Gabrial, Wafa Sultan and Bill Warner would be among the experts I would include in the early stages of the case, complaint, opposing a Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim, presenting or opposing a Motion for Summary Judgment or Motion for a More Definite Statement.
This case has the potential of a ruling that Islam is what it claims to be, a conspiracy to conquer, rule and enslave the world by violence, which has killed well over 250 million people in its 1400 years.
It is almost certain a trial court will do everything possible to dismiss this case quickly. The next steps (plural) are appeals to the circuit and Supreme Courts, which are expensive and demand major spending on preparing and filing briefs. The opponents have Trillions of dollars to support their case and kill this one. What is the future worth? That is why every pleading must be clear in understandable language, complete in every detail, supported at all times by substantial evidence from the defendants’ teachings, writing and practice, and made known to the public when filed with the court. I have seen a trial court destroy its entire file to prevent an appeal of its criminal conduct regarding a known federal witness.

Thank you, Frank.

Another Muslim Terrorist of Allah is against Non-Muslims with Muslim discrimination, segregation, hatred, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 5:14; 9:5, 29, 41, 111; 49:14, etc.). Islam and its Muslims Organizations should never be Publicly Funded because they are against the US Constitution and Western Constitutions. Actually, Islam is the daily practice of Islamic Law, Sharia, which is created from the Qur’an, the Sira, the Hadith, the Tafsir, the Tarikh, past Islamic Legal Rulings, etc to solidify power and control. Furthermore, Muslim Islamization includes Muslim Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Organizations using Governments, Bureaucracies, Mosques, Muslim Homes, Muslim Schools, Halal Organizations, Islamic Centers, Sharia Courts, Muslim Non-Profits, etc. to fund, to educate, and to support Islamic Law and Muslim Propaganda against all Non-Muslims(Qur’an 1:5; 3:51, 101, 118; 5:3, 48; 8:60, 45:18; 48:29, etc.).
Public Funding is a privilege that should not be granted to organizations like Islam and its Muslim Organizations which are fundamentally against the US Constitution and Western Constitutions due to Muslim discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” See also Qur’an 2:191; 4:89, 91; 8:60; 9:5, 29, 111; 47:4; 48:29, etc. Ultimately, Allah desires to fill hell with Non-Muslims(Qur’an 7:18; 11:119; 32:13; 98:6, etc.).
Rick Gordon says
A sad commentary on Ford Motor Company’s headquarters city. I did some work there in the 1980s. The Muslim presence was noticeable, but it still welcomed all Americans – no longer.

The muzzies have stepped over the line and the Court has an obligation to see that they are fully punished
Frank Anderson says
Upholding the law is not a priority when influence and corruption control the agenda. Be very afraid of the “legal” system when confronting Islam and all its threats.
Frank Anderson says
Please, having seen this specific motivation in action in a federal district court, consider what a district court judge with a lifetime appointment to the bench at a specific location thinks about when ruling against a local “party in power”? Ruling for the party fighting that “party in power” is hard to imagine. The “parties in power” have shown no restraint in retaliating against judges who rule against them, even at the Senatorial level: Shumer/Gorsuch!
All the way from the district court to the Supreme Court judges are subject to pressure and influence. The law means nothing when it is not enforced.

Hate to ell you this islam will never assimilate into America, their religion won’t allow it.

Too true, OLD GUY.
John T. R. Gorman says
We must have hundreds more lawsuits against every single publicly funded pro-Islamic project and platform such as this. We must eliminate the teaching of Islam in every school and university and drive every Muslim politician from office. Period.
Islamic politicians are at the forefront of a movement to overthrow our democracy and replace our constitution with sharia law.

Looks to me like that is their “final, perfect, complete and unchangeable” plan of world conquest for 1400 years. “Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome.” Albert Einstein (?).

Frank, Albert Einstein never actually said the famous quote about insanity and repetition–although it is often attributed to him. It was instead popularized by 12-step recovery programs and author Rita Mae. Still an *excellent* and very apt quote!
Frank Anderson says
Honored GI, YOU KNOW that I appreciate correction with better information. In my life I have bounced ONE check and made ONE error on a deposit slip. Every time since I always ask the teller to check everything. Best Wishes.

Frank, this quote *is* often attributed to Albert Einstein–so no worries.
Troybeam says
1965 / While the citizens were sleeping Islam was creeping into society using the nation’s first amendment to protect itself. (Immigration status changed in that year)
Many years later Islam has become a force inside of America and still the citizens are sleeping as to the Trojan horse, our own government has allowed to flourish. The democrats has turned a blind eye as well as some republicans to the invasion into public office using the first amendment freedom of religion to justify Islam serving in public offices.
Here’s what is not being done: adherence to the Constitution.
Article 6/ All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.[1]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Six_of_the_United_States_Constitution
Here lies the conflict of Islam and the Constitution: Islam claims it is superior in all areas over all other legal, political and religious systems thru out the world, it does not adhere to any legal system because it has its own called SHARIA LAW which includes banking laws for Muslims only.
Being that Islam is seeking to gain complete control of The United States of America thru elections, massive birth rates including illegal entries from middle east and the freedom of religion via the first amendment.
Keep this in mind my fellow Americans: Islam chants :DEATH TO AMERICA… from inside of our nation and stated in middle eastern nations, Islam is openly stating as a threat to kill America its Constitution and all people who will not SUBMIT to Islam, btw did you know the word Islam means to SUBMIT.
Islam must be removed and to do so a few suggestions, remove all mosques, no sharia law and sharia law courts or councils allowed to operate, if a Muslim claims to be an American born in America chooses to live under sharia they must be deported. Supporting a known threat to America is treasonous and Islam is a threat.
The Constitution applies to everyone however Islam has its own legal system that has everything against humanity in its laws, especially against all non Muslims and women. Reliance of the Traveller: Islamic Sacred Law Chapter 9, states “Kill them where you find them” Then there’s this tidbit translated from Arabic concerning women and men circumcision: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the clitoris (this is called HufaaD). “ (p59) (Shafi’I jurisprudence)
On that last statement about circumcision on women think of FGM, where young girls even babies are subject to this attack on their bodies done in secret parties in Islamic homes by a woman brought over from the middle east to perform the act an or travel back to home nation to have it done.
America needs to wake up to this threat inside our very nation and the open threat stated every day as the call to prayer is belted out in cities that have become more Islamic than American.
Huh!?! says
Exactly. The U.S. does need to wake up. How much more evidence does the U.S. need to “wake up?” I never though that I would come to the point where I would believe it will be best to buy guns, ammunitions, emergency food supplies. Islam needs to be no longer recognized as a religion in the U.S., but as a separate political system of government. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Vote! Vote! Vote!
