DEARBORN — Army Veteran Adam Joliff made national news recently after visiting Dearborn and “discovering” it wasn’t under sharia law. Brian Stone, a reporter for the Huffington Post, visited Dearborn with his friend Joliff and decided to help debunk the longtime myth. In a blog entitled “Hilarious: Army Veteran Debunks Conservative Sharia Law Claims”, Stone discusses his visit to the city. 

The two stopped by Catholic schools, veterans memorials, bars, strip clubs and a HoneyBaked Ham store.

“You might ask yourself, ‘Brian, why’d you stop at 7 photos for your slideshow?’” Stone wrote. “Because, dear reader, after 30 minutes my friend and I decided to stop by Buffalo Wild Wings and drink beer. It was Friday, contrary to the wacky Republicans out there, none of the sharia police were around to beat us up for it. Because, you know, they don’t exist.” 

Stone said he wrote the piece after learning Family Research Council President Tony Perkins had joined “the chorus of conservatives” claiming that Dearborn is under sharia law.
