1% american & 3% Michigan Muslim population vs 90% White Dearborn 42% christian Arab population
As of 2014, 24 states/communitys tried to ban judges from citing or allowing usage ANY foreign law including sharia
1 percent of the U.S. population & 2.75 percent Michigan's population is Muslim
98,153 people live in Dearborn
the city has found itself shrouded in rumor
with a high concentration of Muslim Americans
in a population that exceeds 103,000
BUT WONT DISPEL THEM!
of all Michigan's professionals Muslims account for
15% of the medical doctors
10% of the pharmacists
07% of the dentists
07% of the podiatrists
06% of the osteopaths.
61.9% English, 29.3% Arabic, 1.9% Spanish 1.5% Polish. language
90% White
04% black African-American
04% Hispanic/Latino
02% Asian,
a few Indian & or other Non-Hispanic race
04% also said they were multiracial & while 0.5 percent of the USA total population claim Arab ancestry , in Dearborn 42% of the whites claimed they were, from Algerian, Bahraini, Egyptian, Emirati, Iraqi, Jordanian, Kuwaiti, Lebanese, Libyan, Moroccan, Omani, Palestinian, Qatari, Saudi Arabian, Syrian, Tunisian, and Yemeni & their for labled as arab & before 2014 most were Assyrian Syriac & Lebanese & Chaldean Christians! & NOT MUSLIMS! , BUT Many Chaldeans wish not to be considered part of the Arab population as they believe they have a unique ethnic identity
1963 mostly Muslim Arab immigrants from Yemen, Iraq and Palestine built the Shia Islamic Center of America , the largest mosque in North America
in 2010 a group of Christians & tea party provocateurs that were handing out leaflets , yelling conversion messages, & filming the incident, & also yelling racist assertions at the Dearborn International Arab Festival
the City of Dearborn was found to have violated the constitutional rights by calling them an anti-Islam group, ordering them to provide identification, move at least 5 blocks away
The ACLU had filed an amicus brief in support of protest plans by others so a protest in front of the Islamic Center of America, Dearborn, speaking about Islam and Free Speech. mosque was placed on lock down. Thirty police cars were there to block traffic and prevent a counter protest
62% of the Muslims live in the Asia-Pacific region,& t 10% of all Europeans may be Muslims by 2050.
in Shia theology armed activism or jihad is seen as a lesser priority limited to a person's immediate geography
in Lebanon, Kuwait, Jordan, and Morocco, the most frequent responses included references to duty toward God, a divine duty, or a worship of God, with no militaristic connotations
BUT
a significant majority of Muslim Indonesians define the term to mean sacrificing one's life for the sake of Islam/God/a just cause or fighting against the opponents of Islam.
Muslim Arbitration Tribunal is NOT a court & Shari'ah law was practiced, debated on and expanded upon by intellectuals for the majority of its existence in the Sunni Islamic Caliphate & Shia Islam is the second largest branch of Islam
my work is transformative in nature as a criticism so some usage of the original is required but uses no more of the original than is necessary & this has no negative affect on the market for the original work its self & my work is protected speech as outlined by the 1st amendment to the united states constitution & falls under fair use as outlined in united states copyright laws

Cultural Center, Parks. Bel Air Center, and Hamtramck Assembly B-Roll (1989)
2015.008.295
U-Matic S tape containing b-roll footage shot of exteriors of The Dress Shop and institutions around the Cultural Center, interior shots of the Detroit Public Library Main Branch, footage shot around Chene Park, activity surrounding a swing set on Belle Isle, a series of stills showing Mayor Coleman A. Young, pans around the Bel Air Centre, a shot of the General Motors Cadillac Detroit Hamtramck Assembly Center sign, and two women working with a computer. The final three sequences are also featured on tape 2015.008.056.
The tape opens with a brief clip of Mayor Coleman A. Young at the beginning of the November 3, 1988 press conference concerning the change in format for the 1989 Detroit Grand Prix from Formula One to CART, presumably from an earlier recording on the tape (see tape 2015.008.126 for the full recording). Muffled audio from the press conference is still slightly audible throughout the rest of the tape.
The b-roll footage of then begins with a prolonged shot of the exterior of The Dress Shop on Woodward Avenue. Next the Woodward Avenue face of the Detroit Institute of Arts and Rodin's Thinker in front of the museum are featured in a series of shots. The camera then provides a view of the Woodward Avenue face of the Detroit Public Library's Main Branch across the street. People are filmed entering the building as traffic passes in the foreground. Then several shots feature the sign outside of the Woodward Avenue side of the Detroit Historical Museum. Afterward, several shots capture children playing on John Kearney's sculpture Silverbolt (Detroit Horse Power IV) outside of the Children's Museum. These are followed by shots of the entrance of the Museum of African American History on Frederick Street. Shots follow of people walking--past Wayne State University's State Hall, and on the southwestern side of the grounds of the Detroit Public Library's Main Branch.
After a shot of the Detroit Public Library sign outside the Main Branch, the camera moves inside for shots of three people reading or studying in different areas of the library.
After another break in the recording, the camera moves to Chene Park for several shots. The first shows the park's entrance at Chene Street and Atwater Street. The next is zoom from a close-up of the park's sign to the park's entrance. And the final shot is a view of the construction site of the amphitheater.
The next section of the tape takes place around the swing sets off the west side of Vista Drive on Belle Isle. Here the camera captures people waving while driving past, people relaxing on grass, children playing on the swings, and a man pushing a young child in a baby swing.
Following a brief clip from the Grand Prix press conference, the next portion of the tape has the camera lingering on a series of photographs of Mayor Coleman A. Young. The photos feature
Mayor Young seated beside President Jimmy Carter, Mayor Young and Lee Iacocca standing in front of a church's stained glass window, a black and white photo of Young in casual clothes posed with three other people (two women and one man), a black and white portrait of Young, Young and Governor William Milliken, Young and Dionne Warwick, and Young as a child in a group portrait (presumably a class photo).
The next segment on the tape includes several close-ups and pans across the businesses of Bel Air Centre on East Eight Mile Road, as shot from the shopping plaza's parking lot. From left to right the discernible businesses include Toys R Us, Kids R Us, Farmer Jack, Arbor Drugs, Wear-Guard, C & G Hallmark, Bel Air Men's Wear, Radio Shack, Coney Island, AMC 10 Theatres, Sibley's Shoes, Fashion Bug, Payless Shoe Source, 16 Plus, Charles, Nadon's, Winkelman's, Sally's Beauty Supplies, and Target. These shots are followed by a long shot of the mall's sign with Builders Square, Toys R Us, Target, Farmer Jack, and Kids R Us listed as the anchor stores.
The Bel Air Centre footage is followed by a single extended shot of the GM Cadillac Detroit Hamtramck Assembly Center sign as taken from the northeast, with the Greater Detroit Resource Recovery Facility, and East Grand Boulevard, and the embankments of the Edsel Ford Freeway in the background.
The next segment features a woman transcribing handwritten notes from Detroit stationery into a computer with an amber monitor and an 8 floppy drive, while another woman watches from over her shoulder. A shot list included with the tape identified the women as Wendy and Rose.
The recording is on a UCA-30s U-Matic S tape with a handwritten 3M label on its top. The tape is housed in a black plastic latching case with a handwritten City of Detroit Department of Public Information Video Production label on its cover. The case also contains a handwritten shot list.
