So when will Dearborn, Michigan city council begin a meeting with a Muslim prayer?

There's a reason why "Schwang, wang, wang" Debbie Schulssel calls that city "Dearbornistan".

Imam Mardini also opened the March 5, 2013 meeting.

From the City Council Minutes

"Imam Hassan Alqazwini of Islamic Center of America delivered the invocation." March 18th of this year.
