In 2022, residents of the city of Dearborn, Michigan, elected as mayor a radical socialist Democrat who is also a Muslim. Even Wikipedia in its profile of Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, noted that the Bernie Sanders supporter "spoke at a pro-Hezbollah rally in 2024 alongside activist Osama Siblani, where 'death to Israel' chants were made and Hassan Nasrallah was praised." 

Controversy has now erupted over the placement of signs in Dearborn honoring Siblani, essentially renaming a portion of Warren Avenue. MichiganNewsSource.com notes that Warren avenue was named after General Joseph Warren, an American Revolutionary War hero who died at the Battle of Bunker Hill.

Siblani is the publisher of The Arab American News, a bilingual newspaper. He is also a leftwing political insider allied to Michigan Governor Whitmer. Taken as a whole, then, the renaming of a portion of street that honors an American patriot hero in favor of a Whitmer ally and Muslim activist accomplishes two Democrat socialist goals -- it contributes to the ongoing democrat socialist effort to flush American history down the memory hole and it is standard political schmoozing typical of Democrats in particular.

And, it was bound to raise questions among those Christian Americans who have yet to abandon Dearborn. One of them, Dearborn resident Ted Barham, questioned Mayor Hammoud about the sign at a Dearborn City Council meeting.

After introducing himself, according to Fox News, Barham said of Siblani: "He talks about how the blood of the martyrs irrigates the land of Palestine … whether we are in Michigan and whether we are in Yemen. Believe me, everyone should fight within his means. They will fight with stones, others will fight with guns, others fight with planes, drones, and rockets."

Barham was quoting from remarks made by Siblani in 2022 at the Dearborn, Michigan Nakba Day Rally that were archived by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). 

According to Fox News, Barham then "compared the signs to naming a road 'Hezbollah Street or Hamas Street,' calling them 'provocative' and stressing that as a Christian, he wanted to encourage peace. He closed by quoting Jesus: 'Blessed are the peacemakers.'"

In an incredible — but not terribly surprising — response, the Muslim Mayor of Dearborn told Barham he wasn't welcome in Dearborn.

"The best suggestion I have for you is to not drive on Warren Avenue or to close your eyes while you’re doing it," Mayor Hammoud said. "His name is up there and I spoke at a ceremony celebrating it because he’s done a lot for this community,"

The Mayor then began launching personal insults at Barham, saying the Dearborn taxpayer is "a bigot, and you are racist, and you’re an Islamophobe," then declaring: "Although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here. And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of this city."

According to US Census data, Dearborn is now a majority Arab-American city with 54.5 percent of the city's 109.976 residents having Middle Eastern or North African ancestry, according to the Detroit Free Press. 

"Dearborn may now be a Muslim-majority city since most of the city's Arab American population is believed to be Muslim, though the percentage is unclear since the U.S. Census doesn't ask about religious identity," the Free Press reported in 2023.
