Does Dearborn, Michigan Have a Jihadi Problem? | The Brief

In this highlight from The Brief, Shabbos Kestenbaum asks Margot Cleveland about her lawsuit against Dearborn, Michigan — and why she says the controversy is about more than Ramadan signs.

Cleveland claims she was told she could attend certain community meetings as a resident, but not as a journalist, and says she began to see retaliation after publicly questioning city officials. Shabbos then asks Cleveland directly whether Dearborn has a “jihadi problem.”
Cleveland says Dearborn is diverse and that she has no problem with Muslims, Christians, Jews, atheists, or anyone else practicing their faith. But she argues that public officials should be judged by whether they excuse or celebrate terrorism — not by their religion.
