Open-carry group to protest 'Muslim colonization' in Dearborn

posted on: Oct 10, 2015

DEARBORN, MI — Dearborn, a Detroit suburb with a large Muslim population, has drawn radical protests in the past and is one of more than a dozen cities where anti-Muslim rallies are planned across the nation Saturday.

The Oath Keepers, an activist organization that vows to uphold the Constitution and whose members often openly carry firearms, are believed to be behind the effort called the Global Rally for Humanity.

The Oathkeepers recently garnered attention in August when armed members showed up in Ferguson, Mo., during protests on the one-year anniversary of the death of Michael Brown with the stated goal of helping maintain order.

A Facebook event page says the Dearborn rally is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Saturday outside the Islamic Center of America, 19500 Ford Road in Dearborn.

Reads the event description:

As this invasion of Muslim colonization continues unchecked on American soil, we can only expect the same suffering now endured by EUROPE. Farrakhan’s hate and promotion of inter-ethnic strife is a wake up call. Now is the time to act. Now is the time to save our Republic.

Other protests are being planned in Louisville, Ky., Phoenix, Alabama and Florida.
