Dearborn Mayor's 'Not Welcome' Rebuke Goes Viral After Clash Over Siblani Street Signs
Mayor Abdullah Hammoud called Christian resident Ted Barham an Islamophobe and told him he was not welcome after Barham opposed street signs honoring Osama Siblani, linked to Hezbollah and Hamas.
- Dearborn Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud told resident Edward Barham he was not welcome after Barham opposed street signs honoring Osama Siblani in September 2025.
- The controversy arose because Wayne County, not the city, decided in August 2025 to honor Siblani, a publisher with a history of pro-Hezbollah and pro-Hamas statements.
- At a city council hearing, Barham cautioned that naming streets after Siblani was provocative and likened it to naming roads 'Hezbollah Street or Hamas Street,' while council members condemned his personal attacks.
- Mayor Hammoud called Barham a bigot, racist, and Islamophobe, advising him to close his eyes while driving on Warren Avenue, a county road where the signs were placed.
- The event sparked backlash, with conservatives and critics opposing the street naming and questioning whether elected officials listen to all residents, implying heightened cultural tensions in Dearborn.
