A Muslim mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, has stunned with his vitriol against a Christian resident of his city who simply objected to promoting violence.

Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud scolded resident Edward "Ted" Barham, a Christian, "Although you live here, you are not welcome here."

 had objected to renaming some intersections in Dearborn after Osama Siblani, Arab American News publisher who has promoted Hezbollah and Hamas, both Middle East organizations that have inflicted death, destruction and terror on Americans.

Hammoud issued a dangerous suggestion for Barham to not see the signs.

"The best suggestion I have for you is to not drive on Warren Avenue or close your eyes while you're doing it. His name is up there and I spoke at a ceremony celebrating it because he's done a lot for his community," Hammoud claimed.

He then turned to a personal attack on his city's resident, accusing Barham of being "a bigot, and you are racist, and you're an Islamophobe. Although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here. And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of this city."
