dearbornrally1 There was apparently a rally in Dearborn, MI, yesterday (Monday) protesting the arrests of the Acts 17 Apologetics team, organized by Dearborn attorney and Republican candidate for Congress Majed Moughni, who is not only concerned that their constitutional rights were violated but also that it might hurt the image of Dearborn. “Their arrests should never have happened,” he told the Detroit Free Press. “We respect the Constitution. No one should be afraid to come here and speak.” He said the rights of the missionaries ought to be respected even if the people being addressed don’t agree with the message. “It’s like the KKK walking into an African-American festival,” he said. “You can’t arrest them just because you disagree with their views.”

Behind him was a large sign that he had designed which read, “USA: Free Speech For Everyone!” Moughni is also a Muslim well-known for organizing a silent protest along with 150 other Muslims following the Christmas Day terrorist attack on Detroit-bound Northwest Flight 253 (for which he received a death threat).

Supporters for the protest rally at Dearborn City Hall had come from Monroe County, Taylor, Dearborn, Canton, Westland, Brownstown, Woodhaven, and even the state of Arizona, Moughni said. “Our biggest battle today is fighting for the freedoms of others in order to protect our freedoms. If we succeed, we all win!”
