This story from Click-on-Detroit doesn’t mention the couples’ nationalities, but according to Debbie Schlussel, Hussein Dakhlallah is a Shi’ite Muslim from Lebanon; his wife Terresa grew up in Canada but is now American ~ Shi’ite Muslim Subject to Hate Crimes for Hanging US, Israel Flags at Home – Hezbollahstan USA
The Dakhlallahs say it all started two years ago when they put an American flag and an Israeli flag up outside of their Dearborn home. “They left Nazi signs in our front yard, ” said Terresa. “Two people were standing there, one with a lighter and one with a gas tank, telling us that they were going to burn our home down.” The couple has been taunted over and over again — even on Thanksgiving as Terresa began to decorate her home for Christmas.

Dearborn, Michigan, just west of Detroit, was settled by Europeans way back in 1786, and incorporated in 1893. The city’s most famous citizen of course was Henry Ford, whose Ford Motor Company is still headquartered in Dearborn, along with Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum (now referred to as simply “The Henry Ford”), both of which he founded.
Sometime in the last decade or so, Dearborn began to be aggressively re-settled by those of the Arabic persuasion. The city became such a popular destination for that ethnic group that they now represent more than 40% of the population (roughly 98,000 residents). Dearborn is even home to the Arab-American National Museum (est. 2005), the world’s first museum devoted entirely to Arab-American history and culture.
And next year – they plan to rename the town “Dearbornistan.” OK – I’m kidding – not next year. However, now that they have a majority on the city council who knows?

According to many historical accounts, Henry Ford was an anti-Semite.
Maybe the Arab-American takeover of the city he made famous is some sort of convoluted cosmic payback.
