The correct answer is 'Of course not.'

KAREN MAJEWSKI: No, I'm not afraid. And actually, I'd like to make another correction. We have, as of our last election, which was a couple weeks ago, we elected a Muslim-majority council. Whether the demographics of the city would say we're a Muslim majority city, I don't think that we're there yet. I think we're probably somewhere in the 40 percent Muslim for the city overall. But our city council that will take office in January will be a majority-Muslim council.

COSTELLO: So does that concern some of your citizens?

MAJEWSKI: You know, the issues, we're a small city. We're 23-24,000 people, we're 2.2 square miles. The issues for most of our residents are, can we fix the streets? Will the street lights -- the street light that's out in front of my house, can we get that fixed? They're local issues. And there's not a kind of level of fear that we hear when we talk about this on a national level. Really, our city council and our residents are most concerned with the day-to-day issues that affect their life when they walk out their front door.

A couple weeks ago, Hamtramck* Michigan, a city within the city limits of Detroit, elected its first majority-Muslim city council. This was, as you can imagine, quite a shock to the millions of totally not racist white people in the metro area. Once the Paris attacks happened, Hamtown's new city council caught the eye of pearlclutchers and earnest question askers on the national stage. Today, Hamtramck's mayor, Karen Majewski (who owns) went on CNN and defended the city in the face of a barrage of stupid and embarrassing CNN questions.

Hamtramck is one of the most diverse areas in the metro area, as well as one of the hardest drinking, hardest partying cities in Michigan with killer music, bar, and (emerging) culinary scenes. There's also a huge population of Muslims from numerous countries in Hamtramck, which has infused the once almost completely Polish city with a bunch of fantastic food and sparkly headscarf stores. Hardly anyone who actually lives in Hamtramck is really concerned about the makeup of city council, but the white people who fled north of 8 Mile rather than face the terror of having to live next door to a brown person (and their descendants) have worked themselves into a lather again over those people ruining Hamtramck and Shariah law being passed any second now.

*It's pronounced Ham-TRAM-ick.

Speaking of the media generally being terrible and useless, there's this Medium post of someone catching them in the act of trolling Twitter for PC GONE MAD: https://medium.com/@parkermolloy/5-things-the-media-does-to-manufacture-outrage-ba79125e1262#.jqbczkn8s

Tie this with the incredibly obvious hamfisted attempts at reporters pestering people experiencing a disaster, and they've gotten really bad (though they were never good).

While it is true that no one should engage MIGF as such, it is still a good idea to remind him he's a stupid rear end in a top hat from time to time. Being a stupid rear end in a top hat, he's likely to forget otherwise.
