Christians Arrested at a Dearborn Arab Festival for Free Speech

These officers were way out of line to have these guys arrested. The situation was completely peaceful and there was no hint that a riot was about to break out.



As a followup the Judge refused to dismiss the case against these men and they are scheduled to go to trial.

Christian missionaries will stand trial in Dearborn

The four Christian missionaries arrested for disorderly conduct for preaching to a predominately Muslim crowd at the Dearborn International Arab Festival in June will stand trial after the judge refused to grant a motion filed by defense attorneys to dismiss the case.


The Thomas More Law Center, which is defending the missionaries, the ACLU of Michigan — two groups that rarely agree — and constitutional law professors told the Michigan Messenger that the arrests appear to violate the First Amendment.
