Dearborn and the neighborhoods in Detroit that border Dearborn. Oh, can't forget Hamtramck surrounded by Detroit. That one used to be Polish. They probably have Highland Park too, surrounded by Detroit like Hamtramck.
I can hear that call to prayer in the distance, when the wind is coming in from the southeast. It was once a faint whisper, now it is getting louder and clearer with every breeze.
I have to get a proper target range set up out back.
Several years ago, around 2008, I had a Pakistani moslem ask me to help him set up a shooting range on his place for him and his sons. I said no, and explained to him that them good ol' boys around there would disassemble his pretty little shooting range, and every living they found on it.
In fairness, he had just come back from a visit home, and while he was there, he had gone up into the Swat valley. I wasn't born yesterday.
Additionally, around that time was when Jamaat ul-Fuqra was being exposed, and one of the gripes about them was their shooting ranges on their compounds. No thanks. I wanted nothing to do with anything like that.
I'd help you set one up, though. I doubt the good ol' boys around there would bother you on it, all things considered.
