Muslim activists who take the side of Palestinian terrorists and then cry about Islamophobia when people notice have no one to blame but themselves and their dishonest bait-and-switch.
The outrage this time comes from Dearborn, Michigan, which was described in the headline of a Wall Street Journal opinion piece as “America’s Jihad Capital.” Dearborn is an Arab American-majority suburb of Detroit, and so, naturally, this brought condemnations from several corners of liberal media and politicians. Dearborn’s mayor called the piece “bigoted” and “Islamophobic,” and President Joe Biden condemned the piece and said it could lead to “anti-Arab hate.”
The problem, though, is that beyond the inflammatory headline, all the piece does is describe events in Dearborn. For example, it describes hundreds of people gathering in Dearborn shortly after the Oct. 7 massacre to celebrate the attack. It lists several other similar events and protests and highlights several community leaders who cheered the attacks. Mayor Abdullah Hammoud described Israel killing the terrorists that slaughtered 1,200 civilians as “tyrants murdering our families.”
