The complaint accuses Mayor Abdullah Hammoud and the city of violating the Establishment Clause, which prohibits the government from favoring one religion over another, as well as Cleveland's free speech and equal protection rights. According to the complaint, the city spent $1,500 on "Ramadan Kareem" banners and $5,000 on a lighted crescent moon in Peace Park last year. It also alleges the Dearborn Police Department sold Ramadan-themed T-shirts while Cleveland's emails seeking comparable recognition for Easter and Passover went unanswered.
