Dearborn mayor rebukes Sharron Angle's comments
2010-10-10
Dearborn Mayor Jack O’ Reilly plans to send Sharron Angle a letter regarding remarks she made recently claiming that his city is being ruled by Islamic law. “She’s doesn’t know what she’s talking about,” said O’Reilly on Friday. “I’m going to send her a letter and invite her to take a tour of Dearborn. I think she would be amazed.”

Angle recently told an audience of supporters that the country needs to address a “militant terrorist situation” that has allowed Sharia to take hold in some American cities, citing Dearborn as an example.

In a recording of the gathering given to the Associated Press by the Mesquite Local News, a man asks Angle: “I keep hearing about Muslims wanting to take over the United States ... on a TV program just last night, I saw that they are taking over a city in Michigan and the residents of the city, they want them out. They want them out. So, I want to hear your thoughts about that.”

Angle responded that “we’re talking about a militant terrorist situation, which I believe it isn’t a widespread thing, but it is enough that we need to address, and we have been addressing it.”

“My thoughts are these, first of all, Dearborn, Michigan and Frankford, Texas, are on American soil, and under constitutional law. Not Sharia law. And I don’t know how that happened in the United States,” she said. “It seems to me there is something fundamentally wrong with allowing a foreign system of law to even take hold in any municipality or government situation in our United States.”

O’Reilly stated that Angle should know that “the U.S. Constitution is the greatest protection against Sharia law and any government-controlled religion.” He said that Angle should realize that not everyone who comes from the Middle East is Muslim.

#10  Dearbornistan...I grew up just a little ways from there. A couple decent neighborhoods w/Chaldeans and Lebanese christians - mainly your 7/11 owners. The muzzies seemed to jump on the pure gas station businesses - go figure. All the previous groups I mentioned dislike blacks and vice versa from what I eye-witnessed. Pretty funny in a dry sorta way - the racism between the two groups made any black vs white issues seem tame by comparison.

#9  Because the shithole of Dearborn is such a success story?

#8  A young Arab asks his father:

- What is this weird hat that we are wearing ?

- It's a "chechia" because in the desert it protects our heads from the sun !

- And what is this type of clothing that we are wearing ?

- It's a "djbellah" because in the desert it is very hot and it protects your body !

- And what are these ugly shoes that we have on our feet ?

- These are "babouches", which keep us from burning our feet when in the desert !

- Tell me, papa...

- Yes, my son ?

- ... Why are we living in Dearborn and still wearing all this shi* ?

#6  Haven't followed the Nevada race closely but one must keep in mind that Harry Reid has spent millions beating on Angle in the last few months and most of the press there is in the Democratic pocket. It's amazing she is still showing a small lead after all of the demonizing she has been subject to.

#5  "I'm going to send her a letter and invite her to take a tour of Dearborn. I think she would be amazed."

Just remember to stay away from certain areas, certain subjects and certain times of year.

And give Jack a choice: Burn a Holy Crayon at a mosque near Ramalamadingdong Ramadan, or a bible near a churge at Easter. Even with a Christian majority, you'd be safer burning the bible.

The Constitution is merely a temporary tool to use against us by muslims. Not all of them, of course. Just the ones with guns.

And Sharron may be a bit dingy, but at least she seems to have her heart in the right place.

And she has ears.

#4  She sucks, but so does Harry "The War is Lost" Reid. So, in honor of Fred and the rest of you Rantburgers, I'll vote for Angle. It's as good a reason as any.

Dearborn cops arrested four Christian preachers for proselytizing at a Muslim event. Imagine the press furor if Muslim preachers had been arrested at a non-Muslim event. Note that the article did not refer to the Dearborn arrests, and generally made Angle sound like a kook.

#3  Mayor O'Reilly will face death threats for denying Sharia. Now who's the liar?

#2  Â“IÂ’m going to send her a letter and invite her to take a tour of Dearborn. I think she would be amazed.”

By all means tour Dearborn -- City of the future: Come see the destitute economy; Stay for the seething sense of tribal entitlement.

Sorry Jack-O but Nevadans are not migrating to Michigan, it's been the other way for the past four decades, or hadn't you noticed?
