The Muslim mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, was caught on camera yelling at a resident for objecting to the renaming of a street after a Hezbollah-supporting journalist.
During a recent city council meeting, Ted Barhman spoke out against the decision to name a street after Osama Siblani, who has made comments in support of the terrorist group. "I feel like having that sign up there is almost like naming a street Hezbollah Street or Hamas Street. Hezbollah bombed the embassy in Beirut, killing many Americans. I just feel it’s quite inappropriate," he said.
The Muslim mayor's response is concerning.
Charlie Kirk's concerns about Muslim intrusion into our culture should not be taken lightly.
Be informed, not misled.
Fox 2 Detroit is reporting, "Hammoud responded aggressively, accusing Barham of anti-Muslim bigotry. "You’re an Islamophobe. And although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here. The day you move out of the city will be the day I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of the city," he shot back.
Not welcome here? Muslim mayors are now deciding who can, and who cannot, live in American cities?
The mayor continued, claiming that Barham had made “cruel” remarks about Muslims on YouTube. He did not provide any examples.
Siblani responded to the exchange, “It’s sad that we do not respect each other’s differences.”
Who is disrespectful?
Via Townhall:
"I am an American from a Lebanese background, an Arab background. I’m very proud of my culture and heritage. But I also love this country and what it has done. Only in the United States can you come in 1976 with no money, a one-way ticket, $185 in your pocket, and 50 years later your name is on a street in America,” he added.
Siblani is a prominent figure in the city’s Arab American community. He is the founder and publisher of The Arab American News, which is the oldest bilingual Arab weekly newspaper in the United States.
But he has made some controversial remarks about Hezbollah and other terrorist groups.
During a 2022 “Nakba Day rally,” he declared that Dearborn’s Muslim community would “lift Palestinians all the way to victory” and exhorted Muslims to engage in violent activity, including fighting with “stones, guns, planes, drones, and rockets” against Israel.
It’s one thing to allow Siblani to make his odious remarks about Hezbollah and Israel. As reprehensible as they are, the First Amendment protects them. But honoring someone who supports terrorism is ridiculous — and shows exactly where these individuals stand on violent extremism.
Moreover, a mayor castigating a resident for objecting to celebrations of terrorist supporters is also disgusting for someone in Hammoud’s position.

This past April 30, 2025, Charlie Kirk said, “Large dedicated Islamic areas are a threat to America.”
This is part of what he said on the radio program:
CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): So what's going on in Texas, of all places? Mind you, this is not New York. This is not California. This is Texas.
And as you know, Texas Republicans are rather weak at times. They don't really know how to fight.
Well, Muslims in Texas are looking to build their own epic city. Literally, it's called Epic City. The East Plano Islamic Center, deep in the heart of Texas. It's in the northeast suburbs of Dallas. The plan right now is for for these Mohammedans to build a 402 acre community in the Dallas suburbs. For reference, that's about four times the size of Disneyland. It would have over 1,000 homes, a K-12 school, a college, retail stores, and, of course, a mosque.
Now let me pause here. When's the last time Christians decided to do this? Christians should build communities like this. I look at the master plan here and I say, despite the fact that their worldview is toxic and that they wanna destroy the West, you gotta give them respect. It's well-designed. It's well-configured. They're here to spread their value system to the West. And we're like, oh, well, you know, religious freedom.
Really, is — did the Founding Fathers have in mind Mohammedans coming to the great state of Texas or one of our states to build an exclusive city for Muslims?
The idea is that this would all be on private property, so it could exist as a dedicated Islamic area. Developers claim the area will be open to all, which of course, is rubbish. Though we know, and we get the feeling anybody moving in would find themselves not very welcome.
America has freedom of religion, of course, but we should be frank. Large dedicated Islamic areas are a threat to America.
We've seen how this unfolds in Europe. There are massive huge no-go zones in major European cities in Britain, France, and Sweden. Those are real. You're not allowed to talk about them, but they are real. The police stay out of things. In no-go zones, Islamic values reign supreme. Blasphemy laws, for example. If you dare question the Prophet Mohammed, they will come after you.
Free speech is not an Islamic value. Free expression is not an Islamic value. Exact — it's actually the exact opposite. Submission is an Islamic value. That's literally what Islam means.
Islam has conquest values. They seek to take over land and territory, and Europe is now a conquered continent. It is not what it used to be. It's a husk of its former self, which is increasingly Mohammedan.
Takeaway
As we remember Charlie, we will be well served to remember what he said as well.
Be Informed. Be Discerning. Be Vigilant. Be Engaged. Be Bold. Be Prayerful.
