All-American Muslims will start airing November 13th on TLC.
American Decency Association plans to monitor the program.
The Learning Channel (TLC) plans to air the first episode of All-American Muslims on Sunday, November 13, 2011, 10 PM EST. The program will profile five Muslim families who live in Dearborn Michigan. This show, since it is called All-American Muslims, will most likely be void of any information regarding Muslims in the United States who want America controlled by Islamic Sharia law. After all, would that not be UNAmerican. Approximately thirty three percent (33%) of Dearborn Michigan’s population are from Arab decent according to Wikipedia. Many changes in culture and public policy have taken place in Dearborn and surrounding cities as result of the increase in Muslim populations. Thomas More Law Center issued the following report:
Christian Pastor’s Free Speech Victory against City Dearborn    May 26, 2011
The U. S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today that Sudanese Christian Pastor George Saieg has a free speech right to distribute religious literature on public sidewalks and evangelize Muslims during the Annual Arab International Festival held each year in Dearborn, Michigan. For five years Saieg, who specifically ministers to Muslims, had been discussing his Christian faith and passing out literature on Dearborn’s sidewalks during the Festival without encountering any  problems. Nevertheless, in 2009 police officials informed him he had to remain in a booth, prohibiting him from distributing his literature on the nearby sidewalks and public streets. Dearborn is one of the most densely populated Muslim communities in the United States. It has the largest Mosque in North America. In the past few years Dearborn has gained national attention for taking a pro-Muslim stance and for the arrest and intimidation of Christian evangelists for engaging in protected speech activity. The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), a national conservative Christian public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, filed the federal lawsuit on behalf of Pastor Saieg in 2009, naming the City of Dearborn and its police chief, Ronald Haddad, as defendants. The case was handled by TMLC Senior Trial Counsel Rob Muise. In ruling for Saieg, the court recognized the problem Saieg had with booth-based evangelizing: “the penalty of leaving Islam according to Islamic books is death,â€Â which makes Muslims reluctant to approach a booth that is publically “labeled as … Christian.â€Â

——————————————————————————– This is just one of several accounts of the bias that has occurred against the Christian faith in favor of Islamic rule at the hands of Dearborn officials. It is troubling that the Learning Channel would give the “All-Americanâ€Â stamp of approval to a culture that has many followers of Islam who strongly oppose traditional, American values. The title of this show alone is irresponsible from that perspective.
