100 years ago today, 1909: A religious war, on a small scale, has broken out in Flint, Michigan, between two factions of Assyrian Christians and Assyrian Mohammedans. Hostilities were opened a few nights ago when fistic arguments were employed in an effort to settle the dispute. No arrests have been made but the trouble of a few nights ago and its recurrence yesterday will have a sequel in police court in a day or two. The Assyrians came here a short time ago from Port Huron to work in a local factory.

Historical information is provided by local and family history librarian George Livingston of Willard Library.

This came from a newspaper in Flint.

 
That is a weird article. They are not giving much details as to what was the argument or the dispute is, about and who these 'Assyrian Mohammedans' are. Could they be Assyrians who spoke Arabic maybe?

I think (as white people tend to do) they can't tell the difference between us.  Since there were probably more Assyrians in Michigan than Arabs at that time, they just assumed we were all the same and only differentiated us by religion.
