“I can tell you in good faith right now today standing at a pulpit in a mosque that Sharia law does not exist in
#Dearborn,
#Michigan. You have all been lied to with the propaganda that’s going on about Dearborn. I can tell you with absolute faith that everything you’ve been told or taught about Dearborn is a complete fabrication of the truth. Dearborn is a very quiet community. There is a lot of hospitality. I’ve been extremely welcomed here.”#Politics

GOP candidate admits he was wrong about Muslims, calls off ‘American Crusade’ march in Dearborn
After two weeks of warning that Dearborn was edging closer to “Muslim infiltration” and Sharia law, Republican gubernatorial candidate Anthony Hudson walked into three mosques, met with residents, and realized none of it was true. The face-to-face meetings prompted Hudson, a truck driver from Grand Blanc Township, to issue an apology and abruptly cancel his “American Crusade” march, which was planned for Tuesday. Hudson had urged “patriots” to join him for a prayer rally and march, saying he will “expose Dearborn for what it is” and that “CHRIST WILL NOT BE MOCKED.”

#Detroit is cranking out some movies. Entirely locally produced, and -- so far -- mostly for local audiences. I've only seen one, IMHO it was just okay but I think it's cool that they're putting all this together with few resources and zero support from Hollywood. Love the nicknames, too: "#HollyHood", "#TubiTown" LOL! 🎞️ 👍 😁
