Four missionaries arrested at an Arab festival in Dearborn, Michigan, have been arraigned.
The missionaries have appeared each year of the Annual Arab International Festival, but this year police moved in and arrested them and confiscated a camera from one member was using to film the arrests. Detroit television station WXYZ was on hand for the arraignment and talked to one of the accused, Nabeel Qureshi.
"Our policy...as we were going through the festival [was] to allow the people to approach us," he explains. "So we did not approach anyone to avoid charges of harassing."
All four are charged with disturbing the peace, but 18-year-old Nageen Mayel, a recent convert from Islam to Christianity, was also charged with refusing to obey a police officer's order to stop filming. "I was scared," she told WXYZ-TV. "There was no reason for them to approach me, so my immediate reaction was fear of the unknown and why they were doing it."
All four missionaries plead not guilty today. They are represented by Robert Muise of the Thomas More Law Center, who points to the Constitution.
"If people are offended by the fact that they were preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to Muslims and trying to convert Muslims -- well, guess what, we have a First Amendment," Muise points out. "This is a free society. It's not a police state."
As the four apparently head to trial, the Law Center is preparing a civil suit to be filed against the city...................................>>>>...................>>>>...................http://www.onenewsnow.com/Legal/Default.aspx?id=1083036
And now the same story as told by the normal press:
Detroit News.Com: Dearborn -- Four Christian missionaries were arraigned today on misdemeanor charges of disturbing the peace following their June 18 arrest at the Arab International Festival. Dearborn authorities said the four "chose to escalate their behavior, which appeared well-orchestrated and deliberate" as they handed out religious literature and talking with people at the festival.
City officials said police received a complaint of the members of Acts 17 Apologetics "harassing and intimidating patrons of the festival and that a large crowd was gathering."
The behavior of these individuals drew and incited a large crowd to a point where they were in violation of city ordinances, including breach of peace and failure to obey the lawful order of a police officer, according to the city's public relations department.
Festival rules require religious groups to distribute information at paid booths or outside the event.
GrahamBonnet seems to be one of those people who can't quite control himself when it comes to profanity. He seldom has any facts, and instead attempts to scare any opposition with his rude comments, or profanity.
Graham was the little boy who just couldn't resists yelling "Poopie Head" at kindergarten playground...
It's a pity his intellectual maturity never progressed beyond that point.
I believe that GB, although I may not agree with his/her approach, can clearly see the forest through the trees. The progressives today are nothing more or nothing less than the NAZI party. Now don't get your panties in a twist here. NAZI is just an abbreviated form for National Sozialistische Deutsch Arbeiter-Partei. It means National Socialist.
We defeated Germany, after our corporations and banks helped germany excel......but we did not defeat the NAZI ideology. After the war, the National Socialists aka NAZI'S, scattered through out the globe. Many coming to America, bringing with them their superior intelligence and their socialist ideology. That ideology is alive and well and are today called the PROGRESSIVES. And it's global!
No, when I saw people like you Box, I called them twats. You are just full of sh*t because if you really believed even half of what you post, then you are a dangerous tyrant who is a real threat to liberty. Like the NAZIS were hanged, so will other, eventually.
When the people reject the progressive ideology and they fall from power what will they do then. November can't come soon enough for me. We need honest, truthful, and those who truly care for the citizens in this country elected into office this year because we've had enough of the lying, self serving, greedy, power hunger ones that have been in office for far too long, clean house in 2010.

We the people, are going to be very hard pressed to find ANY candidate who does not fall into the category of lying, self serving, greedy and power hungry! They ALL, both dems and reps want to control the pot, so to say. For decades we have had both reps and dems in power at all levels of government....from the top down. Some have been worse and some have been better than others. But in the end.....what has actually changed? NOTHING!!!
They have all succeeded, with the help of the media, to dumb down the american people. It is our chance, if we choose to take it, and go through the political garbage and find the truth for ourselves. For any and all elections, if we don't find a candidate we choose to vote for, then do a write in. Write in your name or someone who you think can do the job!!! We must start making a change and send a message NOW!!!
We must start making a change and send a message NOW!!!
I agree, If you don't like what you have now, do your best to find a candidate that you agree with and support that candidate. It can happen. It will Work if enough people want change.
I know... After 8 disastrous years of GWB, I voted for CHANGE in the last presidential election.
