Dearborn mayor rebukes Nevada candidate’s remarks

Dearborn Mayor Jack O’ Reilly says he plans to send Nevada U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle a letter regarding controversial remarks she made recently claiming that his city is being ruled by Islamic law.
“She’s doesn’t know what she’s talking about,” said O’Reilly on Friday about Angle’s comments.
“I’m going to send her a letter and invite her to take a tour of Dearborn. I think she would be amazed.”

Angle recently told a crowd of supporters that the country needs to address a “militant terrorist situation” that has allowed Islamic religious law to take hold in some American cities, citing Dearborn as an example.
Her comments came at a rally of tea party supporters in the Nevada resort town of Mesquite last week after Angle was asked about Muslims working to take over the country, and marked the latest of several controversial remarks by the Nevada Republican.
In a recording of the rally provided to the Associated Press by the Mesquite Local News, a man is heard asking Angle: “I keep hearing about Muslims wanting to take over the United States ... on a TV program just last night, I saw that they are taking over a city in Michigan and the residents of the city, they want them out. They want them out. So, I want to hear your thoughts about that.”

Angle responded that “we’re talking about a militant terrorist situation, which I believe it isn’t a widespread thing, but it is enough that we need to address, and we have been addressing it.”
“My thoughts are these, first of all, Dearborn, Michigan, and Frankford, Texas, are on American soil, and under constitutional law. Not Sharia law. And I don’t know how that happened in the United States,” she said.

“It seems to me there is something fundamentally wrong with allowing a foreign system of law to even take hold in any municipality or government situation in our United States.”

O’Reilly added that Angle should know that “the U.S. Constitution is the greatest protection against Sharia law and any government-controlled religion.”
He said Angle should also realize that everyone who comes from the Middle East is not Muslim.

Dearborn Mayor Jack O'Reilly? Does that sound Muslim? Sounds Irish to me. This Muslim city has an Irish Mayor? This is all quite confusing.
