As Islamo-Leftist Zohran Mamdani Becomes New York Mayor, Emboldened Islamists Hit The Streets In Michigan
Just as New York elected its first openly socialist, pro-Palestine, terror sympathizing mayor Zohran Mamdani, the United States witnessed one of its most explosive Islam-versus-Christian street clashes in recent years, this time in Dearborn, Michigan, a city long at the center of debates over “Islamification,” Sharia law, and demographic change.
On 18 November 2025, Dearborn’s Michigan Avenue transformed into a riotous battleground after Jake Lang, an anti-Islam activist and alleged January 6 Capitol riot participant, attempted to burn a Quran in public, triggering a massive confrontation with hundreds of Muslim residents and pro-Palestinian counter-protesters.

The timing, coming just days after Mamdani’s victory in New York, has intensified national scrutiny over rising Islamist influence, demographic anxieties, and deepening ideological divisions across the country.
Quran-Burning Attempt Sparks Street Chaos
Lang held a lighter under a Quran before counter-protesters rushed in to knock it out of his hand. Moments later, he escalated by slapping the Quran with bacon, provoking outrage from the crowd.
A Muslim man ultimately snatched the Quran and fled, preventing the burning.
Lang’s group then marched toward City Hall, chanting Christian-nationalist slogans, carrying American flags, and accusing Dearborn of being “under Sharia law.”
Muslim counter-protesters yelled back, some shouting “Allahu Akbar,” with tempers boiling into multiple physical confrontations.
Journalist Pepper-Sprayed, Phone Stolen: “Total Lawlessness”
Independent videographer Cam Higby, who was covering the event, told the Dearborn City Council he was pepper-sprayed, pushed, robbed of $50, and had his phone thrown across the street – all while police allegedly stood by without intervening.
Higby said he tried to file a report on the spot but was told to “go to the station later,” after which he saw an officer on a personal phone call. He left Dearborn without filing a report, calling the situation “total lawlessness” and claiming police were ignoring crimes happening directly in front of them.
Muslims Threaten Violence After Quran Incident
Video footage shows one enraged man jumping out of his car and shouting: “I’ll f*** his life up. I’ll kill him. On my mother’s soul.”
Others called the Quran-burning attempt an act of war, saying God would punish those who desecrate Islam.
Meanwhile, some Muslim residents condemned violence but insisted the attempted burning was an intolerable provocation.
Anti-Islam (Christian) Protesters: “Deport All Muslims”
Lang’s supporters voiced equally extreme views – They called for mass deportation of Muslims, claimed Muslims “refuse to assimilate”, insisted America “must remain a white Christian country”, accused Dearborn of being “another country”, and declared Muslims “terrorists,” “animals,” and “jihadists”.
One protester said, “They want to dominate us. They hate the American way of life.”
Another said Muslims should be banned from America because they “don’t share our language, our culture, or our food.”
Police: Three Arrests, ‘Measured Response’
Dearborn Police said they intervened where necessary and made three arrests for disorderly conduct.
Chief Issa Shahin praised the force’s “measured response,” though both sides accused officers of bias. Anti-Islam protesters claimed police refused to take assault reports. Far-left group BAMN said police “protected fascists.”
City Council Meeting Boils Over
At the city council meeting later that evening. Anti-Islam activists said they were “met with violence.” Left-wing activists demanded police be harsher on the anti-Islam group. Mayor Abdullah Hammoud condemned the “hate” but praised Dearborn residents for showing restraint.
UK Activist Warns: “America Has 3–5 Years Before It’s Europe”
A UK citizen attending the protest said she left her hometown because it “became an Islamic town,” claiming women no longer felt safe, police declared no-go zones, and that immigration policies failed
She warned, “The U.S. has 3–5 years before the same thing happens here.”
A Nation Dividing on Religious Lines – As Mamdani Takes Office
The Dearborn eruption occurred just as Zohran Mamdani, a vocal pro-Palestine and DSA-aligned politician, won the New York mayoralty, symbolizing the sharp ideological realignment underway in America.
To critics, Mamdani’s election represents the mainstreaming of Islamist-aligned, anti-establishment identity politics.
To supporters, it represents the empowerment of minority communities long excluded from national leadership.
But the contrast is stark. On one side: Dearborn streets filled with Quran-burning attempts, Allahu Akbar chants, racial slurs, and open threats.
On the other: A newly elected New York mayor celebrated nationwide as a progressive standard-bearer backed by the same activist networks seen in Dearborn’s counter-protests.
As both events collide in public consciousness, America is being forced to confront a new reality – Islam, identity politics, and demographic anxiety are no longer fringe issues – they are now front and center in American street politics, city halls, and major elections.

Additional Controversial Associations
A Propaganda Pamphlet To Be Used As A Toilet Paper: Christian-Supremacist USCIRF Peddles Fake Narrative On India Targeting Hindus
The latest United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) report on India stands out for its deeply biased and one-sided representation of Hindu society and issues.
Titled “Systematic Religious Persecution in India,” the November 2025 issue update reads less as an objective assessment and more as a politically motivated dossier that ignores the foundational wounds of the Hindu community to paint a picture of unidirectional persecution.
A Telling Typo: “Barbi” Masjid And Historical Erasure
The report’s lack of rigor is immediately exposed by a fundamental error: it misspells the Babri Masjid as the “Barbi Masjid.” This is not a mere typographical slip but a symptom of a superficial understanding that undermines the report’s credibility from the outset.
More egregiously, the document dedicates extensive space to the 1992 demolition of the mosque, describing it as a “16th-century mosque” and detailing the subsequent violence. However, it completely erases the reason for the centuries-long dispute. There is not a single acknowledgment of the widely held Hindu belief, backed by archaeological evidence and historical texts, that the mosque was constructed by the Mughal commander Babur in the 16th century after demolishing a pre-existing temple marking the birthplace of Lord Rama.
The report’s coverage of the Babri Masjid demolition amplifies only one side of communal conflict, laying blame exclusively at the feet of Hindu organizations. What’s blatantly missing is any recognition of historic injustices faced by Hindus, whether it is the forced exodus of Kashmiri Pandits, systematic deprivations in education, or violence against temples and festivals. Such selective storytelling undermines the credibility of the entire document.
Pathologizing Hindu Identity
At the heart of the USCIRF’s critique lies a tendency to demonize Hindu identity and aspirations. The report frames legitimate concerns such as the reclamation of temple spaces, prevention of forced conversions, and protection of indigenous cultural practices as inherently “extremist.” It conveniently ignores centuries of historical trauma, destruction of sacred spaces, and attempts at preserving a threatened civilization. By labeling movements for Hindu renaissance as exclusionary, the report erases the community’s right to pursue justice and self-respect.
One-Sided Critique of Secularism
According to USCIRF, India’s secularism fails because it does not strictly separate religion from the state. Yet, in practice, minorities receive extensive state support, whether through scholarships, separate educational boards, or official control of land and funds for religious institutions. Such privileges and protections for non-Hindu groups are never acknowledged, revealing the asymmetry in the report’s analysis.
Misrepresentation of Anti-Conversion Laws
India’s anti-conversion laws, vilified by the report, are the result of decades of aggressive, often coercive proselytization targeting vulnerable Hindu communities. Ignoring the ethical dilemma posed by incentivized conversions, USCIRF instead recasts genuine protective measures as persecution, missing the entire context behind these laws.
Textbook History Reforms Distorted
Efforts to revise school curricula to reflect a more balanced history are dismissed as communal, despite the fact that many textbooks marginalize indigenous figures and distort civilizational contributions. The report thus stifles the legitimate desire of Hindus to reclaim their narrative from decades of exclusion.
Stereotyping Hindu Organizations
The broad-brush characterization of the RSS and BJP as inherently violent and intolerant flies in the face of their vast charitable and social work, including education, healthcare, and disaster relief. Demonizing organizations that millions of Hindus consider essential to nation-building reveals either ignorance or a deliberate intent to malign.
Neglect of Demographic and Security Concerns
Measures like the CAA/NRC are targeted as exclusionary tactics in the report. From a Hindu perspective, these laws represent efforts to secure cultural survival and deal with illegal demographic changes, not vague xenophobic impulses.
Underplaying Reform and Social Progress
References to caste-based conversions mischaracterize the problems and ignore vigorous ongoing reforms in temple access, reservation policies, and community outreach that are advancing Hindu social justice – initiatives rarely recognized by the report.
Denial of Hindu Victimhood
Perhaps most disturbing is the persistent framing of Hindus exclusively as aggressors, not as victims of violence, discrimination, or targeted policies. This erasure perpetuates a narrative that dehumanizes the majority, making it harder for real dialogue or reconciliation.
External Recommendations, Internal Harm
Calling for the US to designate India a “Country of Particular Concern,” the USCIRF perpetuates neo-colonial intervention and disregards India’s sovereignty and unique context. Such recommendations only fuel division and undermine confidence in international institutions.
USCIRF’s Dubious Credibility And Extremist Alignments
Adding to its long record of bias, USCIRF’s credibility is further undermined by revelations about its own leadership. Several commissioners have been linked to hardline Christian-supremacist groups, while others maintain associations with Islamic organizations accused of supporting extremist agendas. The Commission has even positioned itself as a defender of Khalistani separatists, issuing statements that effectively endorse the rhetoric of individuals tied to terror networks. In its reaction to the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, USCIRF went so far as to accuse India of “transnational repression,” echoing separatist propaganda rather than presenting evidence-based analysis. These ideological entanglements expose USCIRF as a politically motivated body wielding the language of “religious freedom” to target India while shielding extremist elements it finds ideologically convenient.
Last Word
The USCIRF’s report is a glaring example of shoddy scholarship marred by deep-rooted bias. Its selective use of facts, refusal to engage Hindu perspectives, and over-reliance on politicized NGOs reveal an intent to pressurize rather than empower. For any credible international body, accuracy, balance, and context must come first. The Hindu community and the wider world deserve better than this – an honest, fact-based discussion about pluralism, justice, and human rights in India.
