A police department in Michigan has introduced a uniform patch that has Arabic writing on it, prompting fierce backlash.
Dearborn Heights Police Department is believed to be the first in the country to have a patch with a language other than English.
Reports indicate that the patch was designed by an Officer Ermily Murdoc, who claims to have created it to “reflect and honor the diversity of our community – especially the many residents of Arabic descent who call Dearborn Heights home.”

The patch includes the Michigan seal in the center with the words ‘Dearborn Heights Police’ written in both English and Arabic.
It was introduced under the authority of recently appointed Police Chief Ahmed Haidar.

“The Dearborn Heights Police Department is proud to share a new optional patch that our officers may wear as part of their uniform,” a Facebook statement announced.
“By incorporating Arabic script alongside English, this patch represents unity, respect, and our shared commitment to service,” it adds.
“Our officers proudly serve all members of our community, and this new design is another way we continue to celebrate the rich cultures that make our city unique,” the statement further asserts.
The department quickly disabled comments on the Facebook post due to an influx of negative feedback, including accusations of promoting “Sharia law” or enabling a “cultural takeover.”
Dearborn Heights has a combined Middle Eastern and North African population of around 40 percent, while nearby Dearborn has a majority 55 percent.
Both areas, along with other towns such as Hamtramck, have attracted Arab communities with immigration from Lebanon, Yemen, and other Middle Eastern countries.
Islamization of Michigan!

It’s known for being the first Muslim-majority city in the US.
What many don’t know is that before Muslims moved there, it was a majority Middle Eastern Christian town, mostly populated by Lebanese Christians and Assyrians fleeing persecution.

While there are Arabic speaking Orthodox Christians in Dearborn from earlier immigration movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they have become proportionally smaller due to immigration trends favoring Muslim-majority groups, which now define much of the city’s Arab identity.
Did you know that before becoming America’s jihad capital, Dearborn, Michigan, was a thriving center of Middle Eastern Christian culture?

This has sparked controversies, such as over public broadcasts of the Islamic call to prayer.
Many Americans are… not best pleased with this latest development, to say the least.
This is how it starts.

How on Earth can Western policing and Islam be together?
The Baal Demon Cult is in charge.
Wonder how the Dearborn heights non Muslim police officers feel about this. I wonder how many Muslims are on the Dearborn heights police force?

This is how Islam conquers… small incremental steps, slowly, then before you even know it, the most popular baby name is Muhammad and you've been conquered.

Islam (submission) is incompatible with free republics. Muslims (one who submits) not only allow themselves to willingly allow others to dictate to them what is right and wrong, they gleefully believe it is right to force others to submit against their will.
In spite of what our founding fathers thought of “Musselmen”, to allow Islam into the USA is an act of national suicide, and frankly, a violation of their oath of office to uphold, protect, and defend the Constitution.
Where are the Italian, Polish, Irish and Norwegian patches?
Islam was invented by the pharasies before jesus came and was advanced by the paulicines who did not believe in the trinity or that jesus was god. Another anomolie in the area where jesus lived in the north pacific is the 180 international date line is that when you cross from russia time zone to the usa timezone, you gain three hours. Almost as if they are hiding something thats three timezones big….lol. Islam is basically paulicine beliefs with their own made up prophet. They are going to be a large portion who will wage war on christ when the time comes because they will believe that the satan that is presented to them is their massiah. It will be a rough ride for us who follow christ when we point out the obvious to them. They believe christ swapped himself out with someone else on the cross and popped out after three days.
In Germany, Arab refugees are granted German citizenship after a short stay and are recruited by the police, which is supposed to be good for dealing with refugees. A police officer friend of mine explained it to me like this: now we have the enemy in our own ranks!!!
Leave the furniture and run.
“…celebrate the rich cultures that make our city unique”. This is code for increased crime, division and chaos. Politicians in what’s left of white western countries should be insisting you people should be fighting persecution in the countries you originated in, not bringing it here – there’s only so much we can handle, and we have an obligation to protect our own people. None of our politicians have the balls to insist on it.
Import Islam … become Islam. That’s not a bug, it’s the primary feature. Because Christianity must. be. wiped. out … according to EVERY “progressive” special interest group
