Description

Earlier this week, residents of Dearborn, MI were confronted with Islamophobic rallies. They resembled the Quran-burning demonstrations that took place there in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.


Florida US Senate Republican candidate Jake Lang was one of the leading agitators, he spoke at a Dearborn City Council meeting. Mayor Abdullah Hammoud issued a statement in response.


WDET’s Russ McNamara looked at what happened this week, and its place within the larger conversation over free speech in the United States.
