Dearborn put its mark on the map in the 1920s, as the lure of high-paying factory jobs started attracting thousands to the area in pursuit of a better life. It is a community highlighted by its rich history, cultural cuisine, and diverse population. However, with a high concentration of Muslim Americans in a population that exceeds 103,000, the city has found itself covered in rumor.

While the war in Muslim countries is getting worst, many Middle Eastern families have fled their countries in recent years in search of safety and some of them ended up in Detriot, Michigan – particularly in Dearborn.

The city, the eighth largest in the state, has been dubbed the Arab capital of North America, according to Washington Post. Home of the Arab-American National Museum, a number of mosques, and Islamic schools for children, the city has become a home away from home for people originally from Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Yemeni and Iraq.

The nature of the Islamic religion does not allow Muslims to assimilate into Western culture — they want to dominate it since everything America stands for is counter to their beliefs.

Therefore, Michigan Representative Michele Hoitenga who isn’t taking a backseat to political correctness recently proposes a bill banning Sharia Law.

Under a bill proposed by Rep. Michele Hoitenga, R-Manton, Michigan residents would be banned from using other countries’ laws in court

Though Hoitenga proposed bill doesn’t specifically mention Sharia Law, in an email sent to state lawmakers seeking co-sponsors on Monday, it said that it would include the religious law association with Islam.

“If you have not heard by now, a doctor in Detroit is being charged with operating an underground clinic that actively engaged in genital mutilation on young girls,” Hoitenga wrote in the email. “She is essentially practicing a fundamentalist version of Sharia Law.”

The doctor she references is Dr. Jumana Nagarwala, 44, who federal prosecutors accuse of having performed female genital mutilations at a Detroit-area clinic.

As expected, Lawmakers opposed to Hoitenga’s proposed legislation even if she just wants to prevent more of sickening crime like what Dr. Nagawala did.

In a statement to MLive, Hoitenga clarified that the legislation referred to recognition in courts, and was not specific to Sharia law.

Hoitenga also said in her email that her proposal would secure and reinforce existing protections already provided on the federal level.
