Dearborn Police Defy Court Order

Four Christians were arrested and jailed by order of police chief Ronald Haddad of Dearborn Michigan, who defended the arrests one  week after the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered those same police to let Christian evangelist George Saieg preach openly at a Muslim festival there.

"We didn't distribute literature, or preach anything," said one of the four jailed evangelists.  "We spoke only to those people who first approached us, we talked only about Jesus' love...and within minutes we were handcuffed and jailed."

"We did make four arrests for disorderly conduct," Haddad said. "They did cause a stir" [with their free speech about Jesus].  Is talking quietly about Jesus now disorderly, just because some Muslims get angry?

"The police are enforcing Sharia law in America," said one of the four arrested Christians, explaining that Muslim Sharia law is not just about putting Burkas on women, but also prohibits anyone from talking to Muslims about Jesus, and prevents listeners from escaping Islam by converting to any other religion.

Richard Thompson, President of the Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), defends the Christians from the ministry called Acts 17, saying:  "Contrary to the comments made by corrupt Police Chief Ron Haddad, our Constitution does not allow police to ban the right of free speech just because there are some hecklers.  Not all police officers approve of the way their department treated these Christians." 

TMLC said, "Judge Paul Borman had affirmed the city's ban on handing out Christian material near the festival. It was last year when Dearborn police threatened Saieg with arrest if he handed out information on Christianity near the event."   The city's ban was temporarily restrained by the Sixth Circuit, but the police ignored the court, saying the TRO only applied to Saieg, not to any other Christians.

Arrested on charges of "Breach of the Peace" are: Negeen Mayel, Dr. Nabeel Qureshi, Paul Rezkalla, and David Wood.  TMLC reports Mayel, an eighteen year old female, whose parents emigrated from Afghanistan and a recent convert from Islam to Christianity, was also charged with failure to obey a police officer’s orders, [because she raised her voice while being physically violated.]  She was approximately 100 feet away and videotaping a discussion with some Muslims when her camera was seized.

In Dearborn, Michigan it appears the police defy court orders from American judges and uphold Sharia law.  Muslims have more rights and freedom in Dearborn than do Christians. The video shows how violent the Christians were.
