Margot Cleveland explains why she filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the city of Dearborn, Michigan after discovering the city displaying exclusively Islamic holiday decorations despite requests to show Christian and Jewish decorations.

Margot Cleveland, Senior Legal Correspondent at The Federalist, is suing the city of Dearborn, Michigan and the city’s mayor, Abdullah Hammoud, for violating the First Amendment by displaying exclusively Muslim symbols in public displays, accusing the city of being "a hostile place for Christians and Jews."

Cleveland alleges the city put up banners celebrating the Islamic holiday of Ramadan and a display of crescent moons while refusing to showcase equivalent Christian or Jewish iconography.

"I was picking up pizza in downtown Dearborn . When I went down the boulevard, up and down the street were ‘Ramadan Kareem’ (generous Ramadan) banners, which is the equivalent of a happy or blessed Ramadan," Cleveland told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.

"This was the fourth week of Lent. We had Easter coming up in two weeks, and Passover was a week away. I was shocked, and then I saw the display all by itself—again, the crescent moon," she said.

Illuminated crescent moons and stars hang from light poles in several Dearborn districts as part of the city’s celebration of Ramadan. (USA Today Network via Reuters Connect)
