Out of a possible 30,000 to 40,000 Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan, a measly 80 showed up to protest the Islamic State. That speaks volumes.
Of course, the media widely reported on it, because it is as rare as the tooth fairy and the unicorn. Millions who attended tea party protests never got such coverage. Muslims were quoted extensively urging the US to take in all the Muslim migrants from jihad nations. Scroll for the long, glowing report from the notoriously pro-Islamic Detroit Free Press. They got a quote from anyone and everyone who repeated the mantra, the Islamic State is not Islamic.
They all played the victim card, adding a twist, we are the victims twice by Islamophobia and ISIS. They have no morals, its incredible. Never do they visit the Islamic texts and teachings behind this unspeakable violence and slaughter.

While thousands shopped Black Friday bargains a half-mile away at Fairlane Town Center, about 100 demonstrators stood in the rain outside Dearborns Henry Ford Centennial Library to protest Muslim terrorism overseas.
Calling themselves Dearborn Muslims Against Terrorism on placards they handed out, leaders of the event focused their opposition on the militant ISIS forces waging civil wars in Syria and Iraq.
If you want to know about ISIS, they have no god, no faith, no morality they are savages, Mustapha Mourtada, 28, of Dearborn shouted to the crowd through a bull horn. Mourtada, an automotive engineering manager, led chants of What do we want? ISIS out! When do we want it? Now!
At a time when anti-Muslim attitudes are said to be running high in Europe and when some Republican candidates for president of the U.S. have called for increased security against Muslims, and even a registry of Muslims living here protest leaders said it was urgent that southeast Michigans Muslims show their opposition to terror in the name of Islam.
Members of the group said most Muslims around the world want peace, and they said that anti-Islamic feelings what they called Islamophobia had been stirred anew by recent events, including the downing of a Russian airliner claimed by militants; ISIS victories against U.S.-trained Iraqi troops, and terrorist bombings in Paris as well as at a hotel for tourists in Mali.
Wearing a black turban, Ahmed Qazwini, who called himself a Muslim scholar but not an ordained cleric such as an imam, told the crowd that Islam had been hijacked by ISIS and that most of the media keeps concentrating on them, causing a rise in anti-Muslim attitudes.
I ask the Almighty to help us fight these terrorists, these extremists, and to help us in uniting as Muslims, he said, adding: Unfortunately, we have people. claiming (that) all Muslims are terrorists. This is wrong. We have to fight the propaganda.
Speakers said the U.S. should allow the immigration of Syrian refugees, a point of controversy that erupted after the bombings this month in Paris. One woman held a sign saying that 750,000 refugees from Syria deserved sympathy and safety, although no mention was made of Gov. Rick Snyders request, and seconded by nearly two dozen other governors, to block immigration and resettlement of refugees until each newcomer can be given extra security scrutiny by federal authorities.
On Sunday, civil rights leader the Rev. Jesse Jackson has said, he plans to hold a national town hall on the Syrian refugee crisis at a Lebanese American Heritage Club in Dearborn.
The overwhelming majority of Muslims in the world do not support the aims of ISIS, said Saeed Khan, 48, of Rochester Hills, a lecturer in Islamic studies at Wayne State University.
Were looking at a force that is, maybe, 30,000 active ISIS members out of a worldwide population of about 1.6 billion Muslims, Khan said. ISIS is concentrated in Syria and Iraq, but recently there have been what you might call franchises of ISIS, operating in several nations of sub-Saharan Africa, including Mali, Nigeria, East Africa, Kenya and Uganda, he said.
Standing under a small tent erected against the light rain, one family from Dearborn lamented the loss of relatives from a terrorists bomb in the Middle East in 2013. Four relatives died when a suicide bomber detonated his deadly belt outside a bakery in Beirut, Lebanon, they said.
As we arrived in Beirut for vacation, this bomb went off and ruined our trip. This bomber blew up a very crowded neighborhood and four of them were our aunt and her husband and two little girls, said Century 21 Realtor Rumzi Chammout, 47, of Dearborn.
So, we are the victims twice by Islamophobia and ISIS, Chammout said.

I wonder how many of these people were induced to show up for a couple bucks. Paid feet is one company who hire mainly the homeless people who have the ability to shout.... and they are paid $9.00 an hour. Now there is another company, Crowds on Demand, who pay more, and they even arrange for media coverage and their own photographers. Their pay can be upwards to $3,000 per month. Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE) was the employer of the paid protesters in Ferguson, and they recruited from all over the US...And let us not forget, Organization for Black Struggle...
Even with that in consideration, you are right... 80 people is not a rush to protest!!

It would appear only 80 appreciate what the U.S. has offered and done for them.
