URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – Something remarkable is happening in Dearborn, Michigan, and it should concern every American who believes in the constitutional right to free speech and peaceful assembly.
Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin released a video message urging city residents to stay away from the August 18th city council meeting because “anti-Islam protesters,” including activists planning a “Christian Crusader March” to “Stop Islamification,” are expected to show up and exercise their First Amendment rights.
“Please stay home,” Shahin said.
Let that sink in. A sitting police chief is asking residents to avoid a public government meeting, not because of a credible threat, but because American citizens intend to show up and protest. Shahin claims the expected demonstrators are coming to provoke residents, manufacture a confrontation, and generate publicity. That may or may not be true of their intentions. But, provocative speech is still protected speech in the United States of America.
This is so insane. A Police Department in America is now putting out their updates in Arabic

Dearborn has become one of the most discussed cities in the ongoing debate about America’s cultural and demographic transformation. The city is now majority Arab and heavily Muslim. Islamic calls to prayer broadcast outdoors through residential neighborhoods. Mayor Abdullah Hammoud previously told a Christian resident he was “not welcome” in the city, a statement that would have generated wall-to-wall national media coverage if the religious identities involved were reversed.
The situation in Dearborn has grown increasingly tense in recent months. Pro-Hezbollah and Iranian-linked imagery has appeared at local processions. Activist Jake Lang was attacked during the city’s massive Arbaeen procession just weeks ago, an event that featured flags of U.S.-designated terrorist groups.
Dearborn police say they will deploy an “enhanced presence” and have prepared what the department describes as a comprehensive security plan for the meeting. That is entirely appropriate, maintaining order and protecting everyone in attendance, including the protesters, is exactly what law enforcement is supposed to do.
What is not appropriate is a police chief telling American citizens to stay away from their own city council meeting because he is uncomfortable with who else might show up. The solution to speech you disagree with is not silence, it is more speech, better arguments, and law enforcement that protects everyone’s right to participate equally in the democratic process.
If Dearborn’s leadership cannot guarantee the safety of American citizens exercising constitutionally protected rights in a public forum, that is a failure of governance that demands accountability, not a video telling people to stay home.
