Patriotic Americans have been celebrating their country’s two-hundred-fiftieth birthday all year. Although an increasing number of Democrats now despise America and even admit to feeling revulsion at the sight of Old Glory waving in the wind, 2026 has been an incredible opportunity to commemorate in grand fashion America’s founding principles, accomplishments, and enduring legacy.
Perhaps it is the heightened sense of American patriotism hanging in the air this year that is leading many ordinary citizens to become much more angry about the anti-American forces working to “fundamentally transform” the nation, to borrow President Barack Obama’s menacing description of the kind of “change” he seeks.
On social media platforms last week, videos spread of a Home Depot shopping experience in Dearborn, Michigan. Signs throughout the store were in Arabic. The original poster claimed (and later reporting confirmed) that major retailers throughout the Midwestern city — including Walmart, Costco, Kroger, and Albertsons — also include signs written in Arabic. The poster concluded, “This is not assimilation, this is an Islamic Takeover of America.”
Commenters who responded to the videos were furious. One warned, “What are we doing, America? Are we capitulating to these Muslim invaders? Watering down our American standards by plastering signs in Arabic? ENGLISH is the official language of America.”
In describing the social media firestorm, journalist Bob Unruh pointed out that Dearborn, Michigan, now has a majority Muslim population, a Muslim police force, Muslim city officials, and official Muslim holidays. Dearborn’s Muslim mayor recently “told a Christian he’s not welcome in the city.” Dearborn’s Muslim police chief recently “bragged about how a large increase in the number of Arab police officers was better serving the city and ended his boast with a Muslim prayer.” Dearborn recently renamed a city street in honor of a resident who has allegedly supported Islamic terrorism in the past.
Dearborn, Michigan, the hometown of Henry Ford and his Ford Motor Company, has been conquered. There is no other way to describe the reality of the situation. No matter how much Democrats pretend that Islam is compatible with American ideals, it is not. Christians founded America. Christian virtue provided the cement for America’s foundations in personal liberty. And the growth of Islamism in the United States represents a threat to the nation’s survival.
In one particularly egregious example of Barack Obama’s anti-American propaganda, the former president used to tell listeners a demonstrable lie — that Muslims played an instrumental role in America’s founding. In 2010, he said, “Islam has always been part of America.” In 2014, Obama thanked Muslims for “building the very fabric of our nation” and insisted that they represented “the core of our democracy.” Obama even claimed that Americans share “common values” with Islam.
As many pundits pointed out at the time, the Founding Fathers were quite clear in their writings that they considered Islam a dangerous creed at odds with Americans’ love for God and liberty. When President Thomas Jefferson sent the Navy to the Barbary Coast to protect American merchant ships from Islamic pirates, he took time to read the Quran and correctly concluded that Muslims are commanded to “plunder and enslave” non-Muslims. When Tripoli renewed attacks on American ships a decade later, President John Adams wrote that Islam’s founder and prophet was “a military fanatic,” while describing Islamic law as “contemptible.” President John Quincy Adams later wrote that Islam is “violence and lust: to exalt the brutal over the spiritual part of human nature.” America’s sixth president argued, “The precept of the Koran is perpetual war against all who deny that Muhammad is the prophet of God,” rendering Islam inherently incompatible with America’s Judeo-Christian ethic, civic virtue, and democratic peace.
A hundred years later, Winston Churchill wrote of the manifest difference between Christianity and Islam:
“Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men’s passions, and protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by vaccination. But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness. In a moment the fruits of patient toil, the prospects of material prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung aside…All rational considerations are forgotten…they become…as dangerous and sensible as mad dogs: fit only to be treated as such…convulsed in an ecstasy of religious bloodthirstiness…civilisation is confronted with militant Mahommedanism. The forces of progress clash with those of reaction. The religion of blood and war is face to face with that of peace. Luckily the religion of peace is usually the better armed.”
Despite a half-century of anti-Western propaganda that has aggressively tried to rebrand Islam as “the religion of peace,” it is important to note that Churchill correctly described Christianity as the “religion of peace” and Islam as the “religion of blood and war.” While Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats spend inordinate resources attempting to rewrite history, there has never been anything “peaceful” about Islam. It is also antithetical to America’s founding principles.
Driving this last point home, Islamic supremacist Linda Sarsour just released a video plea for Americans to replace the Declaration of Independence. As real Americans know, the Declaration is distinct from the U.S. Constitution. Although it expresses Americans’ founding principles, it is not a governing charter or legal document that can be repealed. Sarsour doesn’t care. Calling the two-hundred-fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence “quote unquote ‘America’s birthday,’” she argues that “marginalized” people should “want to build a document that is our values and our principles.” She then tells her followers that they will “fight back” and “win.” From Sarsour’s point of view, then, “winning” is about aborting America’s birthday and replacing the United States with some foreign nation founded on her Islamic supremacist values.
The hijab-wearing Linda Sarsour is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, an organization that embraces revolutionary violence. She helped elect New York City’s Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani. She is working to elect Michigan’s Muslim senate candidate, Abdul El-Sayed. She hates America. But because she is one of seven children whom her “Palestinian” immigrant parents had in Brooklyn, the U.S. Supreme Court says that she’s an American citizen. Despite everything Americans have given her, she feels entitled to destroy America on behalf of her Islamic brothers and sisters living in the Middle East. In return for waging war against the United States, Sarsour’s “non-profit” organizations have received millions of dollars from American taxpayers.
This is insane. American taxpayers subsidize Islamic supremacists working to conquer the United States. As one angry commenter told Sarsour, “You were fortunate that just because you were born here that you can claim US citizenship. Not a single strand of your DNA is American.” Another called Sarsour’s anti-Declaration of Independence video “subversion” and concluded, “These people have to go.”
One thing is certain: The threat of Islam to America is not going away. Decades of open borders policies have invited millions of Muslims into the United States. Some assimilate. Many do not. And when Muslim immigrants become a significant percentage of any local American population, they immediately project their numerical strength. Muslims choose to build mosques next to the World Trade Center site in Manhattan, where Islamic terrorists murdered 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001. They build giant mosques that overwhelm rural American towns. Muslims blast Islamic calls to prayer over loudspeakers in cities and towns across America. Muslims pull out prayer mats and transform busy public squares into open-air mosques. This is nothing less than a declaration of Islamic supremacy: We are taking over America.
Islam and America are incompatible.
