A billboard has appeared alongside a Michigan highway mocking Donald Trump and his xenophobic rhetoric about Muslims and immigration. Melissa Harris, a spokesperson for the group, said Dearborn was chosen because it has one of the largest Arab-American communities in the US. She told WWJ Newsradio 950: “I like the idea of people who do not speak Arabic having to ask their friends who do speak Arabic to translate the board for them. The use of Arabic writing to poke fun at a fear of Islam was seen earlier this year in a tote bag designed by Rock Paper Scissors in Haifa. It read: “This text has no other purpose than to terrify those who are afraid of the Arabic language.”
