- Christian Discrimination: Mayor’s Hate Outrage
The mayor of Dearborn, Michigan attacked a Christian in a city council meeting.
You are “a bigot, and you are racists, and you’re an Islamophobe,” Mayor Abdullah Hammoud told Ted Barham.
Although you live here, I want you to know as a 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.”
What did Barham say or do?
Barham simply asserted that as a Christian, he wants to promote peace and expressed concern over naming roads after someone who has encouraged people to “fight with planes, drones, and rockets.”
Two local intersections are being renamed after an accused Hamas and Hezbollah supporter.
