Default Michigan is it true????

Just curious if the Muslim population in Mich is larger than usual than other states?

If so my theory is that they are using an inner land mass surrounded by water to mount a kamikazee like attack to waken our home security to increased levels...

Am I way off on my thinking?????????????????????

This came to me because of our border security.

Yes it's true - Dearborn, MI has a huge population - 2 million I believe. Some say it's the safest place on earth when terrorist strike, others believe it'll be the death of us all. Not really sure which way I go on this one.

The metro Detroit area has a large number of Muslim immigrants. I do not know numbers or comparisons to other states, but it is a large number. I know Bush got a lot of support from Michigan's Iraqi immigrants.

My cousin was married to a man from Jordan. They lived in Ypsilanti. He was a really great guy too. They were victims of prejudice on a number of occasions, well before 9-11. I think it's sad to assume they (Muslims in MI) are going to be some kind of problem or something.

However, if there is a large number of Muslims in one geographic region, then some extremists will probably end up there too. So it's possible that some terror could come out of the Detroit area. On the other hand, legit. immigrants who resent thier extremist ilk may be inclimed to cooperate with law inforcement, if for example, they hear that cousin Mohad has been working in his home chemistry lab a lot lately...

Yes. Southeast Michigan, especially the area near the Detroit / South Dearborn border has the highest concentrations of middle eastern peoples other than the middle east. But this has been so for a long time. My father was a middle school band teacher in the shadow of the Ford Rouge plant for 30+ years......kiddie-corner from what is now the arab - American league headquarters (thos headquarters have actually benn there a LONG time).
I can relate many heart warming stories of the appreciation and love the many families bestowed on my dad for his effort to teach the children to squeak some notes out of the band instruments. Gifts of food and hand made crafts were very common. The influx of the middle eastern population to this region has certainly been stepped up in the last 5-10 years.......and interestingly enough many of the Arabic families with roots there for over 50 years don't necessarily look fondly on some of the new "imports". Novuea arab-americans I guess.

Thanks for the comments. Thought I was way off on my thinking. Probably still am. I am sure most of them are thankful to be in our country.

Terrorist, whether they are Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu or whatever could care less about the faith of their victims, there were a lot of muslims killed in the World Trade center.
