'Crescent lights on city light poles': Lawsuit accuses Dearborn officials of favoring Islam above other faiths * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

The complaint even notes federal courts "have recognized a pattern of Dearborn preferencing Islam over other religions, in violation of U.S. law. In 2011, the 6th Circuit ruled that Dearborn violated free speech and religious exercise by banning a pastor from sharing Christian pamphlets at the city's Arab festival. In 2013, the city paid $300,000 to resolve similar claims after police arrested Christians for talking about Jesus at the same festival. In 2015, the 6th Circuit again ruled that local government had unlawfully removed Christians from preaching to a 'hostile' crowd at the Arab festival, violating their freedom of speech. In that case the surrounding county paid $200,000 in attorneys' fees to AFLC for enforcing what the en banc court judged was an impermissible heckler's veto," the report said.
