Excerpt:
The city of Allegan said it shut down a controversial speaker over safety concerns, not the content of an alleged former Muslim terrorist's speech.
The city has asked that a federal lawsuit filed by state Rep. David Agema, R-Grandville, and others, be dismissed.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids after Allegan police prevented Kamal Saleem, a self-styled former Muslim terrorist, from speaking in January at Allegan High School.
