Hizballah and Main Street
[Washington Times] Diana West - In the U.S., a good stretch of Main Street in Dearborn, Mich., which writer Debbie Schlussel has described as the heart of Shia Islamic America, follows the Israeli war on Hizballah via Al Jazeera. Hizballah itself is popular in Dearborn, where Osama Siblani, the publisher of the Arab American News, considers members of Hizballah - along with Hamas and other jihadist groups - as freedom fighters. And, as Siblani tells the Detroit News, he's not alone: "If morally supporting Hizballah...is a crime, 'there is not going to be enough buses to haul the people out and take them to jail.'"
