"Dearborn Boosts Security Amid Controversial 'Jihad Capital' Op-Ed"

Dearborn, Michigan, has increased police presence in response to an opinion piece labeling it "America's jihad capital," leading to a rise in Islamophobic rhetoric online. The author of the piece, Steven Stalinsky, aimed to draw attention to protests in support of Hamas, but Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud and President Joe Biden condemned the piece for fueling hate. The Wall Street Journal did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
