The Christian based Thomas More Law Center which is involved in the lawsuit against the US Government for bailing out AIG which in turn helps promote sharia banking is backing up Christians once again. This time Christians were told that they cannot walk around and pass out Christian literature during the annual Dearborn Arab International Festival. I cannot imagine who complained....
Lawsuit Filed Against City Over Restriction of Christian Ministry to Pass Out Religious Tracts on Public Sidewalks During Annual Arab Festival
Thursday, June 18, 2009
ANN ARBOR, MI – For the last five years, Pastor George Saieg and scores of his volunteers have visited Dearborn, Michigan during its annual Dearborn Arab International Festival to pass out religious literature and discuss their Christian Faith. Pastor Saieg is a Sudanese Christian, and Founder and Director of the Arabic Christian Perspective (ACP), which ministers to Muslims.
Dearborn happens to be one of the most densely populated Muslim communities in the United States. An estimated 30,000 of its 98,000 residents are Muslims.
Even though there has never been a disruption of the public peace during this Christian ministry, last week Dearborn police officials told Pastor Saieg that he and his group are prohibited from freely traveling the public sidewalks to distribute their literature outside the festival. They must remain at a specific location.
As a result, the Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and the Becker Law Firm based in Los Angeles, California, the general counsel for ACP, filed a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Dearborn’s policy. The lawsuit was filed only after attempts were made to amicably assert Pastor Saieg’s constitutional rights to free speech.

Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commented, “It’s ironic that while Americans are applauding the free speech exercised by hundreds of thousands of Muslims on the streets of Iran, the City of Dearborn is restricting free speech rights Christians are attempting to exercise on the City’s public sidewalks.”
The conflict arose when Pastor George Saieg called the City of Dearborn to find out when the festival was to begin. He was then told on June 9th that his group would be confined to a predetermined location. Pastor Saieg questioned the constitutional validity of this restriction, especially considering his group had attended the Dearborn Festival many times in the past without incident.
Late this morning, Federal District Court Judge Nancy Edmonds denied an emergency motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO) prohibiting Dearborn from restricting Pastor Saieg and his group from passing out Christian literature on the public sidewalks. The Festival will be held for only 3 days, beginning tomorrow, Friday, June 19, 2009, and lasting through Sunday, June 21.

Koran Idol:
In classical Arabic, the Koran is used for memorization and chant. By making their language large and their god small, they've got a pretty book - a polished idol.
Since the dialectical Absolute of the Koran is found in Mohammed's synthesis of an incomplete Bible, the Koran has become the Idol against all idols. (This is consistent with the Pride against all prides: the Pride of Hell.)
If you want evidence that the Koran is an idol, simply make a public announcement that you're going to burn one. To be murdered in Afghanistan, all you need to do is to translate one. If you like European riots, draw a cartoon of its author.
The Islamic rioters' prostration to Mohammed's Koran would be an annoyance to Gabriel. Only Lucifer insists on bowing and prostration. Gabriel won't tolerate it.
