    In case you haven’t seen it, the above billboard (installed on approximately November 20th) is located along southbound I-75 just south of Luna Pier Road. Even though the billboard is technically in Erie Township, its proximity to Luna Pier has caused some early news stories to claim it’s in the city. Because of this, City Hall has inadvertantly begun fielding phone calls and emails from around the country. This evening Mayor Liske sat down with 13abc’s Zack Ottenstein as part of a broader story that was broadcast during this evening’s 6 p.m. newscast. A transcript of this evening’s completed story, including comments from Doctor Fatima al-Hayani and comments from the group who paid for the sign, can be found on 13abc’s web site.

      I was happy to see the “Sharia Law” billboard warning on I-75. I hope Luna Pier’s city employees were not unnecessarily harassed by Muslim political/religious leaders and instigators.

      I live in Dearborn, MI and our free speech rights are constantly trampled in the name of Islam. They can complain about the sign and not like it. But, they need to understand in America, this is free speech.
