What CBS leaves out is that about 53% speak Arabic.

Other news from Mushganistan:

Before It's News

This past Friday, an angry, hate-filled, unruly, mostly
Muslim mob of several hundred people broke through
police barricades and rushed across the street toward
Pastor Terry Jones while he was speaking in front of
the Dearborn, Michigan City Hall. The mob was yelling
and screaming, making obscene gestures, holding
Korans, throwing shoes and water bottles at Pastor
Jones and his supporters.

Resembling riots in the Middle East, the mob waved
Palestinian and Lebanese flags while hurling profanities
in Arabic and English at Jones and his group of
supporters.

Pardon me if I'm underwhelmed at the patriotism and
peace lovingness of this group.

Bet you wouldn't say that to Robocops face.

Robocop was a product of a private corporation allied with a corrupt and ineffective Detroit municipal authority. Officer Murphy would agree with me that the democrats have destroyed the city he gave his life to protect.

 

[droski]

capital was clearly robocops problem. if you had allowed him to be developed by the govt, none of this corruption would have occured.

You make fun of his name, but have you listened to or read any of his lyrics? Eminem might be the best writer to ever come out of Detroit, fwiw.

Only Tuesdays with Morrie. Everything else he's written has been rubish, IMO. Also, didn't know he was from Detroit.

 

[JTrainDavis]

Good sportswriter as well.

You don't need to know how to read when you deal drugs and pimp.

I'm sure it helps though, elevating your status as a literate pimp/dealer

Not surprising at all. Look up the city school system's graduation rate and you'll understand why.

 

[VOLatile]

This is not a partisan political issue, it's a Detroit cultural issue.

I'm surprised half can.

People like you are why I supply a link and quote most of the time, which some complain about.

My statement is from personal contact from someone who told me that most of the business signs on the north side of Detroit are in Arabic.

My next door neighbor's brother lived most of his life in Dearborn, owns a house there and draws a huge retirement check from Chrystler.

I sold him a few guns until he told me the Arabs always have the cash to pay good money for guns, and when he said that, that was the last gun I'll ever sell to the dumb SOB no matter what.

 

[Cartervol]

So why is there so many Arabs in Michigan again? What are they doing there? How is that they have a lot of money and seem to be thriving when the city is in shambles and half the population has moved? Could they be some of the problem?
