The Mayor of Dearborn, Michigan has fired back after a racist op-ed published by the Wall Street Journal called his city “America’s Jihad Capital.”The op-ed by Steven Stalinksy alleged that Muslim and Arab leaders from Dearborn are “siding with Hamas against Israel and Iran against the U.S.” Dearborn has a majority Arab-American population. On Saturday, Dearborn Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud took to X to express his disgust with the article, where he called it, “Reckless. Islamophobic.”He continued by defending his city, which is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. “I will not entertain conversations about elections while we watch a live-streamed genocide backed by our government,” Mayor Hammoud wrote in a statement on X. Journalist Mehdi Hasan also responded to the op-ed in a post on X.
