Dearborn, Michigan, once a symbol of American industry and immigration, is now increasingly in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. A recent Daily Mail article echoes a growing concern among Americans: that the unchecked spread of radical ideology within U.S. borders—particularly in cities like Dearborn Heights—is not just a local issue, but a national threat.
Neighboring Dearborn was dubbed the U.S. ‘Jihad Capital’ by The Wall Street Journal and made headlines last year when protesters at a pro-Palestine rally chanted ‘death to America’
Rather than addressing the uncomfortable truth, progressive politicians and media outlets are rushing to defend the status quo, branding any critique as “Islamophobic” or “bigoted.” But let’s be clear: raising concerns about chants of “Death to America” or support for designated terrorist groups like Hamas is not hate speech—it’s patriotism.
The outcry following a Wall Street Journal op-ed describing Dearborn as “America’s jihad capital” revealed a troubling pattern: when faced with facts about extremism, many on the Left choose to silence rather than confront. Meanwhile, city officials like Mayor Abdullah Hammoud quickly play the victim card while downplaying legitimate concerns about anti-American sentiments festering in their own backyard.
This isn’t about religion—it’s about ideology. Radical Islam, like any extremist belief system, is fundamentally incompatible with the values of liberty, tolerance, and democracy. When citizens gather in public to chant slogans that call for the destruction of America or the elimination of Israel, that’s not peaceful protest—it’s a red flag. And pretending otherwise is an insult to the families of 9/11 victims, to veterans who served overseas, and to every immigrant who came to this country seeking freedom, not the replication of foreign conflicts.
The conservative position is simple: America must remain vigilant. Local, state, and federal officials need to take these threats seriously. Investigations should be opened. Community leaders should be held accountable if they’re found to be harboring or enabling anti-American groups. And media organizations should stop cowering before cancel culture and start reporting the truth—even when it’s uncomfortable.
Our Constitution protects freedom of religion and speech, but it does not protect the right to plot against our country. If we continue to turn a blind eye to extremism for fear of offending sensibilities, we will wake up one day to find our enemies didn’t have to destroy America from the outside—we handed it over from within.
It’s time to call things what they are. If leaders won’t, the American people must. And they will—at the ballot box, in their communities, and in every place where freedom is still cherished.
