Triple barf. Lebanese Christians brought hummus, tabooli, yogurt and many other eastern Mediterranean foods with them more than a century ago. There is a big Lebanese community in Philadelphia with its own church, a grocery store a block away from the Italian Market, and restaurants. A Lebanese Christian not only owned one of those big restaurants in the 1970s, but was also a City Councilman in Philly (Jimmy Tayoun). The famous television host from the 50s, Danny Thomas, was a Lebanese Christian born in Michigan in 1912 whose parents had migrated to the U.S. His daughter Marlo Thomas is still involved with the laudable charity St Jude Children's Hospital that her father founded. It wouldn't surprise me if they served hummus there. Why must every leftwinger insult us with lying political propaganda, no matter what their essays are supposedly about?
A lot of Lebanese and Syrian Christians came to Arizona...and were/are involved in the retail trades..Basha, Kalil, Coury, Saba,Tibshraeny, Itule.
