Many Arabs in America are not Muslims, but Christians. The more recent Arabs are Muslim though. Some Arabs came to America as early as 1865 and today their descendents live in the South, mainly Alabama and Mississippi.

I'm not aware of any definitive statistice, but I think the overwhelming majority of Arabs in America are Christian.

Poor little put-upon Muslims. Maybe they should go to those bastions of freedom, Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Most Arabs are Catholic or Orthodox. I would not worry about them. I know on 9/11, many Muslims who were killed were mainly Bengali, Persians, and Indians.

"First, they came for the Arabs, but I was not an Arab and kept silent, then they came for the Muslims, but I was not a Muslim and kept silent, then ... no problem"

Yes, first time I've read it.

The author ran for the Virginia State Senate as a Republican last year.

Islam and dhimminitude? Given what the Islamists and their American apologists are pedaling, this is precisely what we want to avoid.

Attorney Nawash has apparently forgotten Justice Robert Jackson's comment that our Constitution is not a mutual suicide pact!

They had to flee persecution in the Middle East.

I don't mean to stir up misplaced or across the board hatred for any group of people. I'm just illustrating the cost of ignoring trends. When we fail to be intelligent in listening to protests that our system of government isn't fair enough, and make our ordinary citizens pay the price for it, we only confuse the world and ourselves as to what we will and won't do to defend ourselves.

What did Japanese Americans do after the Pearl Harbor attack and internment? First,they recognized the situation and acknowledged the logical suspicion on all Japanese Americans. Second, they decided to do something to prove their loyalty and love of the United States - they joined the Army and fought in Europe. A special few hundred of them also served in Japan as spies for the US military. All of these Japanese Americans performed heroically and became perhaps the most decorated units of the War. >
