“Welcome to Dearborn, America’s Jihad Capital.” – Steven Stalinsky, WSJ

“Americans know that blaming a group of people based on the words of a small few is wrong. That’s exactly what can lead to Islamophobia and anti-Arab hate, and it shouldn’t happen to the residents of Dearborn – or any American town,” Biden posted on X. “We must continue to condemn hate in all forms.”

“This is a direct result of the inflammatory @WSJ opinion piece that has led to an alarming increase in bigoted and Islamophobic rhetoric online targeting the city of Dearborn,” Hammoud posted on X.

“Dearborn is a vibrant community full of Michiganders who contribute day in and day out to our state.,” said Whitmer [on X, of course – rr]. “Islamophobia and all forms of hate have no place in Michigan, or anywhere. Period.”
