(American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee)
Before anyone jumps to conclusions, I doubt many Lebanese are part of that Committee. Most Lebanese (especially if Christians) bristle if someone calls us Arabs. The Arabs on the committee have tried repeatedly to get the Lebanese population to join them, but we have steadfastly rejected them. So you have a Muslim organization suing the US on behalf of Lebanese who didn't ask for it.
I'm sure it is a minority, as you said. A noisy one, however, making foolish comments.
I admire the Lebanese people, especially those that have emigrated to the US and carried their Maronite culture. But how does one correctly address their cultural origins?
