Remember when Christian missionaries were arrested for handing out leaflets at an Arab festival in Dearborn, Michigan in June 2010? Well, they’ve been vindicated by 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
A Detroit suburb violated the free-speech rights of a Christian evangelist by barring him from handing out leaflets at an Arab-American street festival last year, a federal appeals court said Thursday.
The 2-1 decision comes less than a month before the next festival in Dearborn, which draws thousands of people to Warren Avenue in the heavily Arab community.

More bad news for the Michigan muzzies: The Patriot Act has been extended another four years.
