A "joke" article proclaiming that Dearborn, Michigan voted to adapt Sharia — or Islamic — law ( http://nationalreport.net/city-michigan-first-fully-implement-sharia-l
aw
/) prompted so many angry calls to Dearborn officials this week that the city had to issue a statement on Wednesday denying it ( http://www.cityofdearborn.org/news-and-events/press-releases/1080-sati
rical-website-makes-up-article-on-sharia-law-for-humor-but-city-of-dearborn-is-not-amused-by-falsehood-sets-record-straight
). As it turns out, plenty of Americans were just a bit too ready to believe that a city with one of the largest per-capita populations of Arab-Americans in the U.S. would vote to enforce an extremist interpretation of Islamic law on its residents. That's, in part, because the "National Report's" fake article closely matches the tone and arguments of the actual anti-Islamic activists who picked it up and spread it around as true.

Here's an excerpt from the fake piece, which quickly went viral in some conservative circles as a real story:
Quote:

The new law could see citizens stoned for adultery or having a limb amputated for theft. Lesser offenses, such as drinking alcohol or abortion, could result in flogging and/or caning. In addition, the law imposes harsh laws with regards to women and allows for child marriage.

It goes on to describe Dearborn as a "well-known safe haven for Muslims and Muslim sympathizers." Over 89,000 people shared the piece on Facebook, and a chain email presenting the story as genuine prompted Snopes to debunk it ( http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/sharia.asp). Even so, the story is still circulating, with some saying that its lack of actual facts doesn't really matter to them.

"The article is false; Dearborn is not under sharia law and has never at any time even considered such an action," Dearborn officials were prompted to write on Wednesday after days of calls from worked-up Americans. Mayor John B. O'Reilly added, "[the] outrageous story, with no basis in fact, has ended up fooling people in part because it mirrors allegations made by others in the past with less than humorous intentions." That latter part, no doubt, is why Dearborn sees little humor in the article from the "National Report." Indeed, the city's residents have heard similar accusations of Sharia law in the city for years ( http://www.theatlanticcities.com/neighborhoods/2012/09/dearborn-where-
americans-come-hate-muslims/3360
/). Remember 2010 Tea Party candidate Sharron Angle? She famously told supporters at a Nevada rally that year that Dearborn was ruled by Sharia ( http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2010/10/sharron-angle-clai
ms-dearborn-michigan-ruled-by-sharia-law/64295
/). And so many anti-Muslim protesters travel to the city for its annual Arab International Festival each year that organizers cancelled the 2013 festival out of liability concerns ( http://www.freep.com/article/20130517/NEWS02/305170101/). Terry Jones, the Florida pastor who protests Islam by burning the Koran, is a regular Dearborn visitor.

Whatever the "National Report" writer's intent, the "joke" piece effectively circulated a particular viewpoint on Dearborn, and Islam in the U.S. in general. The article links to a single source as is basis for the description of the "dangers of Sharia law in America," a book-length paper nicknamed the "Team B II Report." The Team B II paper was published in 2010 by Frank Gaffney, the National Review’s Andrew McCarthy, and a number of other prominent anti-Sharia activists and writers. Among other things, it serves as the basis for a conservative national security strategy that calls for widespread, bulk surveillance on America's Muslim population ( http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2013/07/how-michelle-bachmann-

You know, in any other context such incitement to harrassment could be considered hate speech.

I know the endless round and round of harrassment, surveillence and often extortive or downright threatening entrapment attempts has driven off my doctors family, and this december he's leaving his practice and this country over it, which leaves me even more pissed than usual cause then I'll have NO decent doctor - and all that shit despite that he's a goddamn born-here second-generation american citizen and I don't even think he's muslim although I never asked him... but no, his ancestry makes it okay for federales to fuck with him nonstop, intimidate his patients and try to bully and threaten him into doing something criminal (by THREATENING HIS FAMILY, no less!) so they'd have an excuse to arrest him.

This is basically COINTELPRO, directed at middle eastern folk instead of black people, is what it is.

SJW and Virtue signal will soon attack itself?

A Michigan city with an all-Muslim council that made waves banning LGBTQ+ Pride flags on public buildings has removed two members of a city commission for breaking the new law.

council-REMOVES-commissioners-broke-rule-banning-flying-Pride-flags.html

Hamtramck, population 27,000, is an enclave surrounded by Detroit. More than 40 percent of residents were born in other countries, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and a significant share are of Yemeni or Bangladeshi descent.

and how many news agencies published those 'Funny Cartoons'?

Quote:

Police showed up at the home after a woman told a 911 dispatcher the devil was trying to attack her, according to court documents. Those documents said officers arrived and found what appeared to be blood on the front steps of a home. The officers determined a woman was inside, but she refused to answer the door.
Officers also saw what appeared to be a severed head inside near the home's entrance.
Haefs will be committed to the Missouri Department of Mental Health for six months.
