A Michigan city has sparked controversy over the introduction of a new police uniform patch that features Arabic language, making history as the first in the nation to do so.
The Dearborn Heights Police Department unveiled a new optional patch that features the state’s official seal, along with the Arabic script, which will be unreadable for many but easily interpreted by Muslims who comprise a considerable portion of the Detroit-area city’s population.

“The Dearborn Heights Police Department is proud to share a new patch that our officers may wear as part of their uniform,” the department said in a statement posted to its Facebook page.
“This patch was created by Officer Emily Murdoch, who designed it to reflect and honor the diversity of our community – especially the many residents of Arabic descent who call Dearborn Heights home. By incorporating Arabic script alongside English, this patch represents unity, respect, and our shared commitment to service. We are proud of Officer Murdoch’s creativity and dedication in helping our department better represent the people we serve,” the post reads.
“Our officers proudly serve all members of our community, and this new design is another way we continue to celebrate the rich cultures that make our city unique,” the Dearborn Heights PD said.
Sensing that the patch could potentially be criticized, the department limited the ability for Facebook users to comment.
The feedback didn’t have similar restrictions on other platforms, and users flooded X to share their opinions with some suggesting that the patch is a slippery slope leading to Sharia law.
Thanks to chain migration, Muslims are now a majority in Michigan’s Dearborn Heights (named after a Revolutionary War general). Now, local police have rolled out the country’s first-ever police badge with Arabic script.

The Islamic invasion is so obvious and yet nothing is being done to stop it.
Imagine having beautiful boat and suddenly you have a leak.
A small leak, but gradually growing. And you watch as your boat sinks over the coarse of several hours.
That’s what’s happening right now.

So how long until it’s entirely in Arabic?

Dearborn: Don’t want to assimilate? No problem, we’ll “assimilate ” to your incompatible (to the US Constitution) religion of hate. Welcome all antisemitic, America hating, terrorist friendly Islamists.

If the goal was unity, maybe start by honoring the language of the country you swore to serve.
Police uniforms are supposed to represent law and order, not a patchwork of political statements.

Sharia law has arrived.

What will the Police Officer enforce, U.S. Law or Sharia Law if there is a conflict ?

This should be illegal. This community has zero interest in ever assimilating. They will never assimilate and they breed like rabbits. Their goal isn’t American, it’s Islamic conquest.

How long will it be until the English language is removed from their uniform?
How long until only Muslim officers are hired in that area? At that point it is just Sharia law in Dearborn Heights.

Dearborn is done and overflowing into surrounding communities…

The city sits next to Dearborn, which has been branded as “America’s jihad capital” over an abundance of anti-Israel and pro-terrorist sentiment.
Dearborn Heights is in Michigan’s 12th Congressional District and is represented by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), the bomb-throwing “Squad” member who has been censured over her anti-Israel rhetoric and has promoted the Palestinian slogan “from the river to the sea” which is popular with Hamas and has been interpreted as being a call for the genocide of the Israeli people.
