WND: Lawsuit: 'Honor killings' OK by Michigan Shariah (the "Sharia in America" canard never stops)

A lawsuit that challenges the official cooperation by the city of Dearborn, Mich., which has one of the largest populations of Muslims in the U.S., with Islamic interests makes a stunning allegation: that under the recognized "Shariah" law in the city, there have been "honor killing" murders that have been "covered up."

The lawsuit was brought by the Thomas More Law Center on behalf of four Christians whose speech and other civil rights were restricted by official city action at several recent city-sponsored Arab Fest events.

The lawsuit on behalf of Acts 17 Apologetics, Nebeel Qureshi, David Wood, Paul Rezkalla, Negeen Mayel and Joshua Hogg names as defendants the city of Dearborn, Mayor John. B. O'Reilly, Police Chief Ronald Haddad and a long list of police officers in addition to American Arab Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Fay Beydoun and Norma Haidous, the special events coordinator for the American Arab chamber.

1. Well if it's a frivolous lawsuit it will be exposed as such.

2. Interesting side note
The oddballs at the Thomas More Center also sued to stop the government takeover of AIG because the More people had a problem with AIG's Sharia-compliant financing operations.

The More Center, however, seemed to have no problem with AIG's issuance of credit default swaps on subprime mortgage securities, including synthetic CDOs.

5. Yeah that AIG bailout was a mess.
We the people really were screwed by those payoffs.

6. Credit default swaps ...

...should never have been paid off in full. The counterparties should have been told to get in line at bankruptcy court.

3. Honor killings do happen here
Not often, but they do happen. If there's evidence that some have been covered up, it should be exposed. That being said, I'm very skeptical that there's anything substantial behind this lawsuit.

4. The City of Dearborn has been slandered
For years now, the far right has been pushing the meme of "Dearborn, Mich. is ruled by Sharia law!"

It is 100% nonsense.
