The mayor of Dearborn announced Saturday that police will be ramping up patrols in his city after "Islamophobic rhetoric" in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. "This is a direct result of the inflammatory @ WSJ opinion piece that has led to an alarming increase in bigoted and Islamophobic rhetoric online targeting the city of Dearborn." On Friday, the Wall Street Journal posted an op-ed that referred to Dearborn as "America’s Jihad Capital" and that politicians & Imams side with Hamas. "Shame on the Wall Street Journal for publishing such a bigoted and Islamaphobic piece when you see hate crimes going up across the country."
