Points $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$ lie on a circle (in that order) where $AB$ and $CD$ are not parallel. The length of arc $AB$ (which contains the points $D$ and $C$) is twice the length of arc $CD$ (which does not contain the points $A$ and $B$). Let $E$ be a point where $AC=AE$ and $BD=BE$. Prove that if the perpendicular line from point $E$ to the line $AB$ passes through the center of the arc $CD$ (which does not contain the points $A$ and $B$), then $\angle ACB = 108^\circ$.
