Michigan city ramps up security after op-ed dubs it ‘jihad capital’ of America
The city of Dearborn, Michigan is ramping up security after the publication of a controversial Wall Street Journal op-ed dubbed it the “jihad capital” of America.
Dearborn is home to the highest concentration of Muslim residents in the United States.
The piece, authored by Steven Stalinsky, executive director of the Middle East Media Research Institute, highlights mass support for Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran among city residents.

Stalinsky describes protesters in the city shouting “Intifada, intifada,” “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” and “America is a terrorist state.”
The piece also alleges that people were “celebrating” Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel that left 1,200 dead and hundreds more injured. These celebrations, the author noted, came before Israel retaliated with a ground offensive that has resulted in the deaths of thousands of Palestinian civilians.

Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud on Friday tweeted that city police increased security at places of worship and major infrastructure points as a “direct result” of a WSJ op-ed opinion piece.
Hammoud posted on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, that the item published Friday “led to an alarming increase in bigoted and Islamophobic rhetoric online targeting the city of Dearborn.”
“It’s 2024 and the [Wall Street Journal] still pushes out this type of garbage,” Hammoud wrote in another post, calling it “Reckless. Bigoted. Islamophobic.”
“Dearborn is one of the greatest American cities in our nation,” he added.
Stalinsky told The Associated Press that his piece was not intended to “instigate any sort of hate” and that he wanted to draw attention to protests in Michigan and elsewhere across the U.S. in which people have expressed support for Hamas since the start of the war with Israel.
“This is a moment for counterterrorism officials to be concerned,” he said.

More than 27,000 Palestinians, mostly women and minors, have been killed in Gaza since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, according to the Health Ministry in the Hamas-ruled territory.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Hammoud’s office and the Wall Street Journal for comment.
In a tweet referencing Dearborn on Saturday, President Joe Biden condemned “hate in all forms.”
“Americans know that blaming a group of people based on the words of a small few is wrong,” Biden’s post read. “That’s exactly what can lead to Islamophobia and anti-Arab hate, and it shouldn’t happen to the residents of Dearborn – or any American town.”

Baboucarr Ann’s commitment to the Wisconsin Badgers has given the No. 2-ranked class in the entire nation, according to 247Sports.
Greg Gard got off to a hot start when he landed Jalen Brown, but now, Ann’s commitment has taken this team to the next level.
Both Ann and Brown are four-star recruits, and each are among the top players, if not the very best in their own state.
Ann, a Minnesota native, is officially listed as the No. 1 player in his state. As for Brown, he’s listed as the No. 5 player in Wisconsin.
To no surprise, both Ann and Brown are top-100-ranked players. Jack Thelen, another Minnesota native, is Gard’s third commitment, the No. 168 overall ranked player.
Together, Ann, Brown, and Thelen cover seemingly every area on the court. Brown is listed as a complete guard, while Ann is a small forward, and Thelen stands 7-foot-1 and could be this team’s next premier center.
For what it’s worth, Thelen is the No. 3-ranked player in Minnesota and is the No. 16 center in the class of 2027.

By the numbers:
Milwaukee trailed 1-0 when Misiorowski threw his final pitch of the night, but Mitchell belted a two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth to put Miz in position for the win. David Hamilton made it 3-1 with a triple that scored Cooper Pratt later in the sixth.
Contreras added insurance with a two-run home run of his own in the seventh. Suzuki drove in Pete Crow-Armstrong with a sacrifice fly in the eighth to close the gap for Chicago, but Christian Yelich doubled home Pratt in the bottom half.
Abner Uribe pitched a scoreless seventh for his eleventh hold of the season, Aaron Ashby gave up the sac fly to Suzuki in the eighth and Trevor Megill walked one but worked a scoreless ninth.
Former Milwaukee pitcher Colin Rea pitched five innings in the start for Chicago, but Ethan Roberts was credited with both the loss and a blown save.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy, who had surgery Thursday for a ruptured disk in his back, guided his club from a safe spot near the dugout.
