City council members in Dearborn, Michigan, refused to denounce Sharia law when a local pastor demanded each of them do so at a town hall meeting Tuesday.

Lorenzo Sewell, who leads 180 Church in Detroit, had told the council members earlier that the city was no longer governed by American law. “America, we have lost this city. This is a city that is no longer up under American laws; we are up under Sharia law. We will not have it anymore,” he said. “Enough is enough.” Looking at the members seated in front of him, he added: “You are only 1% of this nation. We are not a nation of Muslims.”
