With Trump having a serious shot at becoming the next President of the United States, it is important for Americans of Middle Eastern descent to evaluate the impact his theoretical administration would have on their community – just as they should with any serious candidate. And despite the alarmist warnings of those who profess otherwise, Donald Trump is a solid friend of Middle Eastern Americans.
This fact is understood by the American-Mideast Coalition for Trump. As its name implies, the AMCT is a group of Americans descended from Middle Eastern nations who have realized that Donald Trump is in fact the strongest candidate to strengthen the Mideast-American community. Such a conclusion by this particular demographic may seem strange to some, as Trump is commonly known as an anti-Muslim candidate. This popular view of him, however, is flawed.
To begin with, Trump is anti-terrorist and anti-extremist – contrary to the opinions of some bigoted individuals, neither label describes the vast majority of Muslims, let alone the majority of Middle Eastern people and their descendants. His rhetoric and policy suggestions have always been aimed at protecting the United States from those who wish to do it harm -- a noble and important goal -- not at unfairly targeting people of certain religious affiliations. And where he has mentioned Muslims without specifically qualifying that he meant only the small fraction of that enormous group who are terrorists, such as his discussion of temporarily banning people of the Islamic faith from entering the U.S., he has later clarified that he was speaking in general suggestions and not advocating firm policy.

I agree with you, there are folks from Iran, Persia, who are good people, not the crazy Iranian folks, but the Persians before Taliban, Radicals took over the country of Iran.
Middle Eastern Americans?
Is that like East of the Mississippi but West of the Appalachians?
Bottom line is that a strong America dedicated to freedom and capitalism is good for the entire world. Always has been. Hillary is already sold the Presidency to Clinton Foundation donors. You’ll get nothing for your vote.
That's not what he said.
He said, "besides everybody knows all muslims are terrorists."
Now why did you feel the need to completely, totally change that particular subject in order to scream racism, hmmm?
I think the poster was being sarcastic.
Most Americans of Middle-Eastern heritage are Christians escaping from Moslems.
Persia is the name of one province of Irans (Pars) and has the language Farsi which is an Irani language. There are other Irani peoples such as:
The term "Irani" vis-a-vis "Persian" is like the difference between "German" vis-a-vis "Bavarian"
Lord help us. We are a destroyed nation. We have forgotten who we are and now look for votes and bodies.
A nation that needs to be rebuilt.
