(Detroit Free Press) Anna Bauman - Sam Zahr, a Lebanese-American who lives in Dearborn, said he has delayed the scheduled opening of his Burgerim restaurant there after his kids were bullied and he received threatening messages from those opposed to the burger chain's Israeli roots. Zahr has decided to step away from the Dearborn location since he has others - in Royal Oak, Oak Park, and Redford Township. Zahr said he has lost everything after pouring money into the Dearborn location by signing a five-year lease, having the electricity and plumbing installed, purchasing permits and licenses, and paying the franchise fee. "We're in America. You don't own Dearborn," Zahr said. "God bless this beautiful country that we all came to, to make something out of, not to have this kind of hate."
