The breakdown of the Leftist/Islamic alliance was inevitable, and it was also inevitable that Leftists would get the worst of it, as Iran’s Communist Tudeh party did when it backed the Ayatollah Khomeini, only to have him throw members of the party into prison once he attained power. Former Hamtramck Mayor Karen Majewski sounded a […]
First Muslim Majority City Council in U.S. Bans Gay Pride Flags
“You can’t stop that.” Awkward, but running a rainbow coalition is challenging. Black people initially dissented from the LGBTQ movement. Lefties ignored the problem and waited for them to come around. They figure Muslims are the same way and they can just outwait them. But that won’t work. Islam is not just a set of […]
Hamas-linked CAIR supports ritual animal sacrifice in Hamtramck, Michigan
There were three separate TV newscasts about the city of Hamtramck, Michigan passing an ordinance permitting the ritual slaughter of animals at private residences. All three of these news reports included a statement from the Director of Safe Spaces for the Michigan chapter of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Nour Ali. The new […]
Michigan City Council Votes to Let You Sacrifice a Goat in Your Bathtub
New in PJ Media: Hamtramck, Mich., used to be a Polish town, but as America has become more “diverse,” Hamtramck has become less so: Kevin Downey Jr. tells me that there are only two Polish restaurants and two bars left there, and the Hamtramck City Council, according to Fox News, is now made up entirely of […]
Mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan: ‘Noble Islam promotes doing good and abandoning evil’
No, Mr. Ghalib. Islam is the only mainstream religion that does not promote “respecting others and treating them well,” at least when it comes to women and non-Muslims. Islam sanctions violence against disbelievers, hatred against Jews (and thus the state of Israel), and the inferiority of women. While adherents of other faiths outside of Islam […]
The First All-Muslim Government is the Poorest Town in Michigan
A cheerful report from CNN. For decades, Hamtramck was known as Michigan’s “Little Warsaw,” a city of just two square miles of tightly-packed houses and factories, spitting distance from downtown Detroit. In the 99 years since its incorporation, every mayor of Hamtramck has been Polish American. That ends January 2, in Hamtramck’s centenary year, when Amer Ghalib […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Hamtramck, MI, Becomes First U.S. City with Muslim-Majority Council, Hilarity Ensues
In PJ Media today, I show how there was almost immediately trouble in the multiculturalist paradise: The nation’s first, but certainly not last, majority-Muslim city council has just been elected in Hamtramck, Michigan, a historically Polish city. But before anyone could break out the sparkling grape juice and toast our new diversity, Ibrahim Algahim — […]
Michigan: Majority Muslim city council elected, “Today we show the Polish and everybody else”
The nation’s first, but certainly not last, majority-Muslim city council has just been elected in Hamtramck, Michigan. Immediately one of the Muslims has caused controversy by showing himself to be somewhat less than the tolerant multiculturalist that he was no doubt assumed to be. Will we see any supremacist and pro-Sharia initiatives from this city […]
