Kansas Church Protest In Michigan
After not showing at Wednesday's military funeral in Marine City, church members of the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church say they plan to picket at several locations throughout Michigan Thursday morning.
First, outside of the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, and then, at the Hellil of Metro Detroit at Wayne State University to protest local Muslims and Jews alike. They also plan Thursday afternoon to picket outside East Lansing High School to demonstrate against homosexuality - a common theme of the church.
The head of Progress Michigan, David Holtz, says the church has "the most disgusting message in America." But he expects them to be ignored being "most families have more important things to worry about like jobs."
