"But now, conservative Christians are mobilizing among the same Muslims that some of them used to disparage.

"The same dangerous ideology that once considered people like me 'a problem' in Dearborn is now being revived under the guise of preserving liberty," Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, the first Muslim to be Dearborn's mayor, said in a statement posted a couple of days after the protest."
