Hamtramck, Mi. Governor Snyder and Muslim refugees

By: American Decency Staff

The article in WorldNetDaily.com entitled “Shariahville, USA: Cities ‘surrender’ to Islam” got my attention and presumably that of many others.  

What further drew my attention was the subtitle “3 states ‘surrendering’ to jihadists”.

Quoting a man I highly regard, John Guandolo, a former FBI agent who specializes in Islamic terrorism, “Michigan, Massachusetts and Minnesota are three states that appear to be putting up the least resistance to Islamization.”

What then particularly caught my eye (being a citizen of Michigan) was the subtitle “GOP Governor stands with Muslim community”.

I found this believable because this ministry (ADA) and associated concerned callers were dismissed by Michigan Governor Rick Snyder’s staff just last year August as the Governor was preparing to address ISNA (the Islamic Society of North America) on August 29, 2014.  

“The Justice Department recently implicated ISNA, which claims to be America’s largest Muslim Organization, as the lead conduit in a scheme to illegally pass on $12 million to Hamas, the Palestinian terror group established to annihilate the State of Israel. Hamas is officially designated a terrorist group by the US government.” Breitbart News

Spokespersons for Governor Snyder stated in response to phone calls last year that ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) is a fine organization – this despite our expressions and concerns  heavily documenting research to the contrary.

World Net Daily now reports the following, “Michigan's Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has made it clear on which side he stands.

“‘He's with the Muslims,’ says Dick Manasseri, a resident of Rochester Hills and one of Michigan's up and coming voices against the Islamization of the Great Lakes State.

He has started a group called Refugee Resettlement Monitor-Michigan that has several members out on the speaking circuit, educating Michigan Republicans with facts and the personal stories of Chaldean American Christians who have lived under Shariah in the Middle East.

‘We've made 12 presentations since August, designed for Republican groups and they're not just tea-party groups who are interested,’ Manasseri said. ‘We've got a big problem in Michigan. The governor is the problem. We don't go out of our way to trash the governor but he is doubling down on this.’

Synder has said he'd like to ‘rebuild’ parts of Detroit by importing 5,000 Syrian refugees and as requested that the Obama administration assign those refugees to his state. Detroit Mayor Mike Dugan is on board with the plan.

On Friday, Nov. 6, just a few days after Hamtramck's historic election, Snyder was on hand to celebrate the city's Bangladeshi corridor. Bangladeshis, along with immigrants from Yemen, make up the majority of Hamtramck's Muslim community. Others come from Bosnia and Iraq.

The corridor is being branded Banglatown, and Snyder sees it as a potential tourist destination.

‘The branding of Banglatown as a cultural tourism destination is a priority for Global Detroit, (the Bangladeshi American Public Affairs Committee) and the Economic Development Committee of the Detroit City Council Immigration Task Force,’ says a statement issued by Global Detroit.

Global Detroit is an organization that says its goal is to improve economies by ‘welcoming, retaining and empowering’ immigrant communities. It is an affiliate of Welcoming America, a nationwide immigrant rights group started by a close Obama associate, David Lubell, with seed money from billionaire philanthropist and open-borders champion George Soros.

"Hamtramck contains one of the nation's densest Bangladeshi populations and offers the only U.S. voting ballot in Bengali, the so-called 'Bangla ballot,'" boasts the Global Detroit statement.

Governor 'really twisted' on this subject

‘The governor was part of a celebration of that event, so it was duly recognized by the governor who is really twisted on this subject,’ Manasseri said. ‘He somehow doesn’t make a distinction between economic development and the influx of people who practice Shariah. It seems he's very much in favor of Shariahville, as I call it, and wants to see it spread all over Michigan. And so we're working against that at the grassroots level for the whole state.’

Gov. Snyder also addressed the Islamic Society of North America's annual convention in August 2014, despite the fact that ISNA is a known front group for the Muslim Brotherhood, which was designated an extremist organization in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation terrorist financing trial. Snyder, ironically, did take the opportunity of his ISNA speech to mention Israel's right to exist, a comment that infuriated ISNA leaders, causing them to put out an ‘action alert’for all Muslims to call the Governor's office and complain.

A 1991 U.S. Muslim Brotherhood memo explicitly identifies ISNA among its fronts along with the Council for American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR. The memo states the Brotherhood's ‘work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within.’

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a candidate for the GOP nomination for president, has introduced legislation to get the Muslim Brotherhood designated as a terrorist organization. It has already been branded a terrorist organization in Egypt, Russia and the United Arab Emirates, among other countries.

Manasseri's group has created a website and is collecting signatures for passage of a resolution that would halt refugee resettlement in Michigan. He said requests for presentations before clubs and groups is growing in light of the migrant crisis in Europe, where the number of rapes and assaults have exploded around the refugee camps and teachers in Germany are warning girls to dress modestly and not to engage young Muslim men in conversation. Those Americans who are paying attention to what's happening on the ground in Germany, Sweden, Belgium, France and the U.K. are beginning to ‘wake up,’ he said…”
