Is this America? Now Arab Christians don't have the same rights that Arab Muslims do at an Arab festival in the United States of America? They don't have the right to free exercise of their religion?
The judge says this is all about crowd control issues, but it is hard not to notice the fact that Islam frowns on proselytizing by other religious groups. Given the general accommodationist spirit sweeping across Obama's America in these heady days, it's highly coincidental that a group engaging in an activity that Islamic law forbids and that Muslims generally hate would be squelched, now, isn't it? Isn't it a marvelous coincidence that by this decision U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds managed to please a significant constituency in the Dearborn area?
And of course the mayor of Dearborn believes in free speech -- he just doesn't want this group to practice it.
A federal judge sided with the city of Dearborn today in a dispute with a Christian group over the distribution of religious literature during an upcoming Arab festival. The decision stems from a lawsuit filed this week by a Christian group who says the city of Dearborn is denying it the right to roam the Arab International Festival to hand out religious literature.
U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds denied a motion from the Christian group for a temporary restraining order that would have prohibited the city from restricting the group from handing out literature, according to a release from the group’s attorneys.
