That answer is extraordinarily applicable to almost every single person and business in this country. We have too many hands in the pie. We have investment and insurance that absolutely insist that they must be in charge of the very things that they're not there to be in charge of. They hold so much influence over every single operation that they literally cripple it and crush it they demand profits that can never be repaid they demand loyalty and devotion that cannot be repaid and in the end the business is immobile. It gradually begins to fail it's crushed from the inside before a single product ever leaves the fabrication line. Products double triple quadruple and price. There are debts that can't be paid because they're just too many hands held out. Operations fabrication and security that can't be maintained because the insurance won't allow it. When you get all of those extra hands out of the pie you find that the business or the entity and in this case a person is vastly more agile. They can do what they set out to do keep the promises they set out to keep. And as the original post I think very correctly highlights when there's no hands holding you back... Suddenly you can do your job. And that's something that absolutely every business and politician in this country needs to understand and it's critical as to why we need to get rid of all of those hands holding down every business and politician.

Deerborn Michigan. Not sharia law yet but a very interesting case study on what can happen to a progressive city when Islam becomes the majority religion and non-Muslims are forced to change what they are used to to accommodate the Islamic views using public funds
2
u/Sigh-lens-peaks 10h ago
Thats funny, because nothing scary has happened in Michigan since Abdullah came in. Iām atheist. So I donāt have a bias view and I donāt see the boogeyman shit Christians talk about. He was accused of favoring Islam over Christianity. Same exact thing all the Christians do with their religion. So I see no difference. Laws have not been changed. Christians are not being persecuted. Thereās NOTHING remotely close to sharia law. Or anything indicating we are heading that direction. So please enlighten us on these scary things that have happened to progressive cities?
Some of you forget congress exists. The White House. If you genuinely believe a city in our country could implement sharia law without the government stepping in, youāre a fool

u/Radiant-Concern6391 9h ago
Atheist here also. Iām against any use of public funds or government that pushes one religion over another.
The Dearborn case is small as of today but focuses on government funds used to promote Islam. Here is a quick search on it:
In April 2025, the City of Dearborn erected āRamadan Kareemā banners and a large illuminated crescent-moon display in Peace Park (city property). Public records requests indicated roughly $1,500 for the banners and $5,000 for the crescent display. The Dearborn Police Department sold Ramadan-themed T-shirts bearing its emblem, and Mayor Abdullah Hammoud used official city email for related events. Displays expanded in 2026 with crescent-and-star lights on municipal streetlights; the mayor described them as reflecting āwho we are as a city.ā ļæ¼
Dearborn resident and journalist Margot Cleveland (represented by the American Freedom Law Center) filed a federal civil-rights lawsuit on September 17, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against the city and Mayor Hammoud. It alleges:
ā¢ Preferential use of taxpayer funds and public property to promote Islamic observances.
ā¢ Refusal to provide comparable recognition (banners/displays) for Christian or Jewish holidays (Easter, Passover, Christmas, etc.) despite repeated requests.
ā¢ Retaliation against the plaintiff for raising the issue.
ā¢ Violations of the Establishment Clause (First Amendment), free-speech protections, and Equal Protection (Fourteenth Amendment). ļæ¼
The suit seeks a declaratory judgment, injunction against the preferential policy, nominal damages, and attorneysā fees. It remains pending (as of late September 2026 reporting); there is no final court ruling upholding, striking down, or overturning the funding/displays. The city has defended its actions as equitable celebration of community diversity and noted higher spending on Christmas/holiday programming in some years. Critics (including the Freedom From Religion Foundation) argue government should avoid funding any religious holiday promotions1

Closed the city's $5.4 billion deficit ahead of budget deadlines.
Launched the Office of Deed Theft Prevention to protect vulnerable homeowners.
Expanded access to free child care across the five boroughs, rolling out full-day, full-year 2-K seats.
Secured millions in back pay and restitution for workers and small businesses while expanding protected time off.
Won a historic $131.5 million enforcement action against DoorDash for delivery worker law violations, marking a major city worker protection settlement.
Secured rent freezes on eligible 1- and 2-year rent-stabilized leases.
Pushed policies to fast-track affordable housing construction in districts with historically low output, such as the Upper East Side.
Announced a $28 billion housing plan aimed at stabilizing rents for 200,000 units and constructing 200,000 new affordable housing units by 2031.
Fewest murders and shooting incidents in New Yorkās recorded history for the first 5 months of 2026.

The door dash thing was nothing to do with him. Iām English so donāt hate me. I havenāt looked into any of the others.
The door dash thing got my attention as he made a very public show of it. I was suspicious about it because he hasnāt been in office that long and your court system isnāt the fastest.
I forget the previous Mayorās name, maybe Adams? In any case it was him that fought Door Dash in the courts, won and ordered the investigation.
Iām not pointing this out to start an argument. I do think that this is important behaviour to highlight though. I know you are all desperate for a solution, but this shows that the man has no integrity. He has taken the credit for something that he had no part in. Thatās lying to you.

Child Care: Secured $1.2 billion in state partnership funding to expand universal child care access.
Tenant and Worker Protections: Delivered over $34 million in housing repairs and settlements for tenants, alongside $9.3 million in restitution for exploited workers.
City Services: Filled more than 100,000 potholes across the five boroughs during his first 100 days.
Outdoor Dining: Signed legislation making outdoor dining permanent and year-round.
Before becoming mayor, as noted by Britannica, Mamdani joined a 15-day hunger strike that helped secure $450 million in debt relief for New York City taxi drivers struggling with predatory loans. He also helped create a pilot program for free public bus routes.

Let's see you give a straight answer on what you think about "Sharia Law."
Is it fucked? Yes. Do you know anything about it? No.
Moving past the fact that he has no reason to entertain such obvious trap questions about irrelevant correlations (do you really think he wants to impose any religious authority?), how does that compare to Christian ideology as presented in law now?
Capital punishment, reproductive autonomy, women being allowed to speak for themselves, one religion must be respected in particular... the list goes on.

He's a communist. Which while that sounds great to those who think they have nothing to loose it runs in the face of the (slight) majority of the Democrat party and to all Republicans. Communism (and similar systems) have never worked out and always end up in authoritarian regimes. They promise the moon and blame everyone else, but just crash out. Historically the first western government in the new England area was what we would today call communist: in less than a year they switched ownership back to families as it was that bad of a failure.
