Typical of radical Muslim loving Muslims. Dawud (I'm a real douchebag) Walid, would rather not see a christian prayer gathering in Dearbornistan especially one that addresses some of the problems in the area and the world.
If you have a pulse and you refuse to see what is happening in the world you might be a Douchebag too ! It takes a minimal amount of time to watch the news to see that in the Islamic World; their is some problems, it is painfully obvious.
Just look at all the firebombings, suicide attacks, Suicide bombings...
For Duhwud to deny this and get his panties in a bunch and call for all Mosques to elevate their security instead of joining the Prayer gig, and speaking out against the Violence in Detroit and the world that is carried out by bad people regardless of their beliefs; is nothing short of pure Ignorance.
DETROITnews.com
Dearborn — The local head of a national Muslim civil rights group says a Christian prayer summit to be held at Ford Field next week promotes anti-Muslim sentiment and is warning local mosques to step up their security.
Dawud Walid, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations — Michigan, met Wednesday with Muslim activists to voice his concern over the rhetoric he fears could be at the center of the event Nov. 11.
"There's a bigger force or movement behind this prayer summit and how they're literally demonizing Muslims," he said.
But Metro Detroit pastors involved in the event say the gathering is merely meant to help Detroit, not target Muslims.
"I don't know anything about that," said Bishop Edgar Vann of Second Ebenezer Church. "People are coming here to pray for our city and that's what I'm concerned about. Christians will be praying, but it's open to anyone."

Military jets safely escort NYC, Detroit flights
There will always be those idiots who do stupid ass shit and think that there is nothing wrong.
The next time these idiots fly they should be hauled off for a body cavity search.
Associated Press
Fighter jets were scrambled to escort two commercial flights into New York City and Detroit "out of an abundance of caution" after crews reported suspicious activity on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, officials said.
The bathroom use by some passengers aroused the suspicion Sunday, but all were released after being questioned by authorities on the ground.
On an American Airlines flight from Los Angeles, three passengers who made repeated trips to the bathroom were cleared after the plane safely landed at New York's Kennedy Airport.
Earlier, on a Denver-to-Detroit Frontier Airlines flight, the crew reported that two people were spending "an extraordinarily long time" in a bathroom, Frontier spokesman Peter Kowalchuck said. Police detained three passengers at Detroit's Metropolitan Airport, but they also were eventually released.
Asked late Sunday if authorities may have overreacted, airport spokesman Scott Wintner said the airport's response wasn't unusual and the same steps would have been taken any other day of the year.
"Regardless of why it was triggered, whenever we get a radio call of a security problem on board, our response is the same one we would have had yesterday, tomorrow," Wintner said.
"We always react as if it's the end of the world," he added. "If it isn't, so be it."

Obama to spend Labor Day at Detroit AFL-CIO rally
In Detroit on Monday, Obama was also expected to tout his efforts to save the auto industry and millions of jobs by providing federal bailouts in 2009 for General Motors Corp. and Chrysler Group LLC. The AFL-CIO rally was being held in a GM parking lot.
Not a Biased crowd in the least.
Today is the Detroit Labor Day Parade, it is strictly a Union thing you know because only the Unions are allowed to have the parade in downtown.
40,000 union members will be in the parade.
The Obamasiah will speak at the end of the parade when the Union schleps are whipped into a frenzy from their own presence, the speech will go a little like this...
I am Great for you, you are great for me, suckle my testes and I will suckle yours, blah blah blah blah blah, just remember I am great.
Same old bullshit different parade.
Associated Press
President Barack Obama is celebrating Labor Day in Detroit, previewing his ideas for job creation and economic growth at a rally with thousands of supportive labor union members.
Obama's speech at an annual event sponsored by the Metropolitan Detroit AFL-CIO was serving as a dress rehearsal for the jobs address he'll deliver to a joint session of Congress on Thursday night.
The president's appearance follows last Friday's dismal jobs report, which showed that employers added no jobs in August. It was the first time since 1945 that the government reported a net job change of zero. The unemployment rate, meanwhile, held steady at 9.1 percent.
The disappointing report sparked new fears of a second recession and injected fresh urgency into efforts by Obama to help get millions of unemployed people back into the labor market — and help improve his chances of getting re-elected.

Rash of bomb scares is keeping Detroit squad busy
A new trend in Detroit? I have noticed there have been an increase in reports of suspicious pakages, and bombs lately, NOT in Detroit because you would not want the people around here to Know!
You might as well keep people in the dark over something like this.
Freep.com
A tool bag containing explosive materials discovered outside a federal building.
A backpack left behind at a TV news studio.
A suspicious object found at a scrapyard.
Those are just a few in a rash of bomb scares across Detroit in recent months.
The Detroit Police Bomb Squad has been called out about 25 times since the beginning of the year -- compared with about eight by this time last year, said Inspector Don Johnson Jr., who is in charge of homeland security, which oversees the bomb squad.
Sometimes, investigations reveal there was no threat. But increasingly, the squad -- which also assists other communities in the region -- is discovering explosive or incendiary materials when it has to render a suspicious device or object safe, Johnson said.

17 Arsons, 4 Days, 1 Detroit Neighborhood
Burning down the houses in Detroit, usually a Halloween pastime (Devils Night) but when the houses sit vacant bad things happen in them.
Crackheads, vagrants and gangs like to hang out in them, they party sell drugs rape the neighborhood girls.
Burning them down is a way to prevent it.
Foxnews
DETROIT, Mich. - It's known as Detroit's forgotten neighborhood left to burn and decay.
The neighborhood is under attack by a fire bug, hit by 17 arson fires in four days. The people who remain are begging authorities for help, MyFoxDetroit.com reports.
"They started like two fires the other day, back to back. The firemen left, then there was another one that started. So it was really bad," resident Charlita Kreft said.
The fire starter is making his rounds on Detroit's east side where now there are literally just shells of houses on some blocks.
"To have an area that has been so hard hit in the past, we had a few fires back in August that really hit the area badly, and then to just have the number of fires that keep happening and happening. The majority of the fires have been proven to be arson," Detroit Fire Capt. Steve Kirschner told MyFoxDetroit.com.

U.S. probe to look at border concerns of Muslims
Not that any Muslims that lives in Metro Detroit aren't rude and Obnoxious people to any one other than a Muslim!
Not that Detroit area Muslims like many other Muslims around the world, act like there is never any terrorism coming from Islam!
Not that because of what some Muslims did on 9/11 has not changed how we need to be, and a continuing threat from Muslims trying to come into the United States to commit acts of terrorism cause us to be cautious as to protect everyone, (Including Muslims)
I find that usually the people that are constantly "Checked" by immigration and customs, are very rude and uncooperative to begin with!
Its not like any Muslim would ever try to make a point out of a situation that they created.
The Detroit Free Press
The U.S. government has launched an investigation into allegations that federal agents at several U.S.-Canada border crossings in Michigan repeatedly harassed, jailed and body searched Muslims because of their background or appearance.
In a letter sent this week to a local Muslim group, Margo Schlanger, the head of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties in the Department of Homeland Security, said her office has received accounts of "repeated handcuffing, brandishing of weapons, prolonged detentions, invasive and humiliating body searches at the border, and inappropriate questioning that pertains to religion and religious practices."
The complaints include incidents at the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit and the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron.
The investigation comes in response to complaints filed in March by the Council on American-Islamic Relations with the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security.
The council said it was concerned that agents were even asking people about their prayer schedules.

DetNews.com
One way to fix some of America's problems -- and re-populate Detroit - would be to send immigrants to live and work in the Motor City, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said today, creating a buzz in the community.
"Take a look at the big old industrial cities, Detroit for example," Bloomberg said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "They've a great mayor, Mayor (Dave) Bing, but the population has left. You've got to do something about that.
"And if I were the federal government, assuming we could wave a magic wand and pull everybody together, you pass a law letting immigrants come in as long as they agree to go to Detroit and live there for five to 10 years,start businesses, take jobs or whatever," Bloomberg said .
"You would populate Detroit overnight because half the world wants to come here … you could use immigration policy at no cost to the country to fix a lot of the problems that we have."

U.P. man headed to court over explosive found at Detroit federal building
The Detroit Police Bomb Squad took it to Belle Isle. There, police tried to open a metal cashbox in the bag, when personnel heard a "loud bang, saw a grayish smoke cloud arise ... and saw debris from inside the box fly through the air and spread around the explosion site,"
Three weeks inside the McNamara Fed building, And it was a live bomb?
The Detroit Free Press
An engineering graduate from Michigan Technological University who blames the government for his father's death will appear in federal court in Marquette today on charges that he tried to blow up the McNamara Federal Building in Detroit.
Gary Mikulich, 42, of Kingsford, who allegedly claimed he was once the "nominated president of the United States," was arrested Thursday after federal agents linked him to a suspicious tool bag found Feb. 26 at the federal building.
According to the criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court, an FBI employee noticed the tool bag that had been abandoned outside the McNamara Building and reported it to building security.
For an unknown reason, security officers with Federal Protective Services kept the bag for more than three weeks. On March 18, a security officer ran the bag through an X-ray machine and noticed "wires, electrical components and dense masses," the complaint said.

Medicare scams infect Detroit as recruiters use poor to steal millions
I love Detroit, It ain't the Nicest city I have ever lived by but it ain't the worst either.
A problem that is not unique to a city like Detroit "Corruption", every since the days of former Mayor Coleman Young, the city has gone downhill; though it has its moments that make you think it will turn around.
Then you get Douchebags like these people, ripping off and raping anything and everyone in sight, yes it happens in other cities, but dammit if it does not make Detroit look worse.
Detroit Free Press
Detroit has become one of the nation's "new frontiers" for Medicare fraud with many scams run by operators fleeing a federal crackdown in Miami.
Authorities say operators use recruiters to target poor men on Detroit streets, at soup kitchens and in homeless shelters. They shuttle them in vans to clinics set up for the scams or run by licensed providers trying to bilk the system for bogus treatments or for care never rendered or needed. Operators take their Medicare information in exchange for $50 or more.
Detroit's unemployment rate makes it a particularly vulnerable target. Authorities have identified at least $120 million in fraudulent billings in metro Detroit.
The businesses investigated include physical therapy clinics, home health care agencies, medical equipment providers and podiatry offices. More regulation and prosecution is needed, some attorneys say.
"It's like banks without an alarm system," said David Haron, a Troy attorney who specializes in Medicare and Medicaid fraud, referring to the ease with which some medical businesses are established.

Detnews
Dearborn— Some 50 demonstrators gathered this afternoon on the steps of Dearborn City Hall to call for an end to anti-government protests in Yemen and send a message to President Barack Obama.
The mostly male rallygoers carried American and Yemeni flags and chanted unity slogans. A picture of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh was raised above the crowd.
"We support our President Ali Abdullah Saleh. We need one Yemen and we support our scholars to advise him for dialogue and free elections, no war," said business owner Nabil Al Ghaithi, 38, a Yemeni-American who lives in Dearborn. "President Obama: Support Yemen and the free election in Yemen."
"We are trying to demonstrate that we want peace in Yemen," said Abdul Rahman El Haj, a 33-year-old autoworker who lives in Dearborn. "We do not want bloodshed over there, like in Libya. And it could get even worse than Libya, because everybody over there has their own weapons. It would be a massacre."

Sikhs hope to take edge off over ceremonial dagger in Plymouth-Canton school
"It's not an assault weapon," said Tejkiran Singh, 47, of Canton, a Sikh community leader. "It's so small, so blunt. ... The whole purpose of wearing it is that it's a reminder of our spirituality."
So this came about in December, when a young kid brought a Kirpan to school with him.
What is a Kirpan you say, Not much just a ceremonial knife.
boys, after being baptised in the Sikh religion, are required to wear one at all times.
but... you are not supposed to bring weapons or anything resembling a weapon to school.
Ah but the school superintendent even said,
"the right of all students to practice their religion and wear religious symbols," the district will ban "all religious emblems that resemble a weapon."
Nice eh? To bad they just said that they can wear them in school now.
I guess if some of the Hezbollah supporters that live in Dearbornistan, send their kids to school with "Non working suicide vests" it will be O.K., you know they aren't real!
How about a mock AK-47, some Islamists praise those so much they put them on their Flag!
The Detroit Free Press
Tensions over a Sikh boy who brought a religious sword to an elementary school have prompted a public meeting tonight to introduce the Sikh religion to metro Detroiters.
Last month, controversy erupted after a fourth-grade boy at Bentley Elementary in Canton was found with a 3- to 5-inch saber.
After they are baptized, Sikh males are expected to carry the religious symbol, called a kirpan. The principal initially decided to allow the boy to have it, since it had a blunt edge and was a religious item. The district did not identify the boy.
But after concerns expressed by parents and a legal review, the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools district decided to ban the kirpan because it violated local, state and federal polices against bringing weapons or items that look like weapons to school.
That concerned some Sikh parents, who say the kirpan is a nonthreatening item that symbolizes their commitment to fighting against evils, such as greed. Similar disputes have erupted in other parts of the U.S.
"It's not an assault weapon," said Tejkiran Singh, 47, of Canton, a Sikh community leader. "It's so small, so blunt. ... The whole purpose of wearing it is that it's a reminder of our spirituality."

Four Detroit police officers shot inside precinct
Things are heating up in Detroit.
Blistering cold temps, no work, rampant anger!
Oh it can get nuts here.
All the officers shot will be o.k., and you can bet no one will ever just walk into a Detroit Police station unchecked ever again !
Detroit News
A gunman walked into a Detroit police precinct this afternoon and shot a commander and three other officers before he was killed, police sources confirmed.
Cmdr. Brian Davis, in charge of the 6th precinct, was shot in the hand and side and was undergoing surgery this evening, a police source said. Officer David Anderson was shot in the head but is alert and talking and moving his limbs, the source said.
Other reports indicate two other officers were grazed by gunfire and suffered minor wounds.
Police said the man was armed with a small shotgun.
The victims were taken to nearby Sinai Grace Hospital shortly after the 4:30 p.m. shooting. Detroit Mayor Dave Bing and Police Chief Ralph Godbee arrived at the hospital early this evening to visit the wounded.
Earlier, Bing and Deputy Mayor Saul Green visited the police precinct to offer support.
Sunday's shooting capped off a bloody weekend that saw at least 10 people shot since Friday night — four at the precinct, three outside a strip club, and three murder victims found in a house in the 14000 block of Faircrest.
The shooting occurred at the 6th Precinct, just west of the Southfield Freeway and south of Interstate 96. Like most precincts in the city, there are no metal detectors in the entrance and visitors can come in and talk face-to-face with officers.

The American Al Qaida Fatman Speaks !
He addressed Muslims in “emigrant communities like those which live on the margins of society in the miserable suburbs of Paris, London and Detroit, or are from those arriving in America or Europe to study in its universities or seek their daily bread in the streets of its cities,” SITE said.
Being as I live in close proximity to Detroit, I take a little Offense to Al Qaida's American Fatass Adam Gaydahn, And his assumption that the Muzzy Douchebags of the Greater Detroit Area should rise up and commit Jihad !
To all Wannabe Jihadi rejects!
Bring it on you little Bitches ! Like the rest of Islam, You will Fail !

DUBAI: Al-Qaeda’s American spokesman, Adam Gadahn, has urged fellow Muslims in the West to carry out attacks in the “Zio-Crusader coalition” states, SITE Intelligence Group said on Saturday.
“To my Muslim brothers residing in the states of the Zio-Crusader coalition ... know that Jihad (holy war) is your duty as well,” Gadahn said in a video, excerpts of which were provided by the US monitoring group.
He addressed Muslims in “emigrant communities like those which live on the margins of society in the miserable suburbs of Paris, London and Detroit, or are from those arriving in America or Europe to study in its universities or seek their daily bread in the streets of its cities,” SITE said.
“You have an opportunity to strike the leaders of unbelief and retaliate against them on their own soil, as long as there is no covenant between you and them,” he added in the 48 minute, 20 second video, produced by Al-Qaeda media arm As-Sahab.

US investigates potential terrorist test run
The more You read about this the more it sounds like it will be Washed away !
I guess taping cell phones to your Pepto Bismol bottle , or taping several phones together is not a reason to raise a Red Flag ! let alone the Box cutters and the Knife !
CHRON
WASHINGTON — Two men arrested in Amsterdam may have been conducting a dry run for a potential terrorist attack, U.S. officials said Tuesday after a cell phone taped to a Pepto-Bismol bottle and a knife and box cutters were found in one of the men's luggage.
U.S. investigators are pursuing leads in Detroit, Birmingham, Ala.; and Memphis, Tenn., according to officials speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation.
The arrests come at a time of heightened alert just days before the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.
On Sunday, authorities found the suspicious items — a cell phone taped to a Pepto-Bismol bottle, multiple cell phones and watches taped together, and a knife and box cutter — in one of the men's checked luggage in Virginia. The man and his luggage were headed to separate international destinations, which also raised concerns.
None of the items found on the men or in their luggage violated U.S. security rules. But the items and the men's changing travel itinerary may have been a deliberate test of the U.S. aviation security system to determine what would raise red flags.

Ginormous Rats Invade U.K. Housing Complex
I have seen rats this big in Detroit , it's a pretty scary thing when they run at you like a rabid dog ! 
Foxnews
Horrified U.K. residents claim their homes are being invaded by giant rats -- including a 30-inch long monster that was shot dead.
The rodents, twice the size of common types, are plaguing an estate in West Yorks in the Northern U.K., often appearing in kitchens and lounges. Some fear they could be "super rats" from South America.
But the shaken man who shot it in the head -- 31-year-old Brandon Goddard -- yesterday revealed four others of the same size scuttled away to safety.
"They were more like Ratzillas than rats," Goddard said. "I got out of there as fast as I could. Who knows how many there will be if they've been breeding?"

Kilpatrick imprisoned, faces 1½ to 5 years
HA HA !
Bye Bye Kwame , Enjoy The fruits of your labor !
Oh he will Be fine in the Big house , Maybe he can spend the time learning a new trade .
I bet this somBitch will even collect Unemployment !
Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick entered the Michigan state prison system today after being sentenced to 1½ to five years for violating his probation.
His imprisonment, imposed today by Wayne County Circuit Judge David Groner, also cost Kilpatrick his job.
“Kwame Kilpatrick will be off the Compuware Corporation payroll at the end of the month," said a company statement. "We don’t have any choices. It’s an unfortunate situation, and we feel bad for his family, but our hands are tied.”
Leaders across metro Detroit also called the situation unfortunate, but they said it was time to move on.
Earlier, a frustrated Groner ordered Kilpatrick to serve 18 months to five years in prison, declaring that Kilpatrick had lied while on probation and maliciously hid money that was supposed to go toward repaying the City of Detroit $1 million in restitution.
“Your testimony in this court amounted to perjury,” Groner said, alluding to the ex-mayor’s explanations for how hundreds of thousands of dollars passed through his family’s bank accounts without being accounted for, or applied to, Kilpatrick’s restitution obligations.

'Christian warrior' militia accused in plot to kill police
"We believe that one day, as prophecy says, there will be an Anti-Christ. All Christians must know this and prepare, just as Christ commanded."
A few more tidbits on the Religious Extremists Known as the Hutaree .
Is this what we have to deal with now ? religious nutjobs in the U.S. ?
Plotting to Kill Police , Muslims , Innocent people , With Pipebombs ?
WTF .
(CNN) -- Nine people federal prosecutors say belong to a "Christian warrior" militia were accused Monday of plotting to kill a Michigan law enforcement officer and then attack other police at the funeral.
A federal grand jury in Detroit, Michigan, indicted six Michigan residents, two Ohioans and an Indiana resident on charges of seditious conspiracy, attempted use of weapons of mass destruction, teaching the use of explosive materials and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence, U.S. Attorney Barbara L. McQuade and Andrew Arena, FBI special agent in charge, announced.
The five-count indictment unsealed Monday charges that since August 2008, the defendants, acting as a Lenawee County, Michigan, militia group called the Hutaree, conspired to oppose by force the authority of the U.S. government.
Attorney General Eric Holder called it "an insidious plan by anti-government extremists."
The group says on its Web site that Hutaree means "Christian warrior" and proclaims on its home page, "Preparing for the end time battles to keep the testimony of Jesus Christ alive."
In the Web site's "About Us" section, the group says, "We believe that one day, as prophecy says, there will be an Anti-Christ. All Christians must know this and prepare, just as Christ commanded."

Seven arrested in FBI raids linked to Christian militia group
O.k. so it was not the Michigan Militia we all know and love , It was a radical christian militia preparing for Battle with the Anti Christ .
Wow , That is two Militant Christian groups that are in the news at the Same Time .
The Hutaree's ?(Stupid Ass name for a group) were making threats against Islamic groups , And selling Pipe bombs ( For possibly following through with those threats ?) It does not look good for anyone connected to this group of religious Whackjobs !
Not one to take the threat of Islam Lightly , but acting like a Radical islamist group does , is not the Answer .
Detnews.com
At least seven people, including some from Michigan, have been arrested in raids by a FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana as part of an investigation into an Adrian-based Christian militia group, a person familiar with the matter said.
The suspects are expected to make an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Detroit on Monday.
On Sunday, a source close to the investigation in Washington, D.C. confirmed that FBI agents were conducting activities in Washtenaw and Lenawee counties over the weekend in connection to Hutaree, a Christian militia group. Detroit FBI Special Agent Sandra Berchtold told The Detroit News the federal warrants in the case are under court seal and declined further comment.
Sources have said the FBI was in the second day of raids around the southeastern Michigan city of Adrian that are connected to a militia group, known as the Hutaree, an Adrian-based group whose members describe themselves as Christian soldiers preparing for the arrival and battle with the anti-Christ.
WXYZ-TV reports that helicopters were spotted in the sky for much of Saturday night, and agents set up checkpoints throughout the area. Witnesses told the station that it was like a small army had descended on the area. The Department of Homeland Security and the Joint Terrorism Task Force are also involved in the raids.
Mike Lackomar, of Michiganmilitia.com, said both The Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia and the Michiganmilitia.com were not a part of the raid.
Lackomar said he heard from other militia members that the FBI targeted the Hutaree after its members made threats of violence against Islamic organizations.
"Last night and into today the FBI conducted a raid against homes belonging to the Hutaree. They are a religious cult. They are not part of our militia community," he said.
Lackomar said he was told there were five arrests Saturday and another five early Sunday. The FBI declined to comment.
One of the Hutaree members called a Michigan militia leader for assistance Saturday after federal agents had already began their raid, Lackomar said, but the militia member -- who is of Islamic decent and had heard about the threats -- declined to offer help. That Michigan militia leader is now working with federal officials to provide information on the Hutaree member for the investigation, Lackomar said Sunday.
"They are more of survivalist group and in an emergency they withdraw and stand their ground. They are actively training to be alongside Jesus," he said.
Sources from the Michigan militia community said one of the FBI raids took place Saturday during a wake for a Hutaree member who had died of natural causes. A Hutaree leader was arrested during the wake while at the same time agents were conducting raids at other locations.
The Associated Press is reporting that FBI spokesman Scott Wilson in Cleveland said agents arrested two people Saturday in northwest Ohio. A third arrest was made in Illinois on Sunday, a day after raids in northwest Indiana.
Answers are sought in killing of Muslim cleric
"Something is happening here that is an awful and dangerous thing," Smith said.
Yes Mr Smith there is something happening that is awful and Dangerous ,
It is called Radical Islam !
If you Don't want to Die , Do not pull out a gun and point it at a swarm of FBI Agents !
The Freep.com
Leaders in the African-American community called for answers at a rally Saturday afternoon to the killing of a Muslim cleric during an FBI raid in Dearborn in October.
More than 200 people gathered at New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit to protest the controversial shooting of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah, 53. Abdullah was the target of a two-year investigation by federal agents who said he was a radical Sunni leader preaching the overthrow of the government from his small mosque.
Abdullah was shot 21 times during the raid. FBI agents, in their official account of the event, said they chased Abdullah, then caught up with him and demanded that he show his hands. Instead, they say, he pulled a gun and fired it, prompting agents to fire back.
Abdullah's supporters contend it was an act of police brutality aimed at a black Muslim. Agents in the raid were searching the warehouse for stolen items they say Abdullah was using to raise money for the mosque.
Saturday's event, co-sponsored by the Detroit branch of the NAACP, the Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality and others, was held in one of Detroit's most famous Baptist churches, a sign, organizers said, that Abdullah's death was of concern beyond the Muslim community.
The Rev. Robert Smith of New Bethel said he welcomed the rally -- and likened the killing to those committed by police during the civil rights movement and Detroit riots.
"Something is happening here that is an awful and dangerous thing," Smith said.
