Dearbornistan: Muslim charged with attempted murder for trying to mow down Christian preachers

Remember the Christian street preachers who were stoned by Muslims at the Arab Festival in Dearbornistan? Well the same street preachers went to the Islamic Center of American and a Muslim got into his SUV and tried to run them down. This from Answering Muslims:

I heard about this when I was still in Michigan, but I didn’t want to post anything until I had some documentation. I waited for the Detroit Free Press and other local media to report the story, but I gave up after more than a week of searching. Fortunately, Gadi Aldeman (GA) interviewed Ruben Israel (RI) and posted the disturbing news over at Front Page Magazine.

On Sunday, June 17th, 2012, Ruben Israel’s group of street preachers went to the Islamic Center of America (the same mosque I had visited two days earlier). While the group was preaching, a Muslim emerged from the mosque, got into his SUV, and tried to run them over. Mosque security naturally blamed the preachers for provoking him.

Everyone should take note here. Ruben Israel’s presence at the Dearborn Arab Festival was national news. The media jumped at the chance to show images of intolerant Christians harassing Muslims (check out Niraj Warikoo’s coverage over at the Detroit Free Press). While I have no objections to calling attention to (and criticizing) the actions of Ruben Israel and his associates, we should all be horrified to realize that nine counts of attempted murder by a Muslim targeting Christians isn’t even considered newsworthy by local media in Michigan.
