The fact that he is Arab is irrelevant. The pertinent question is, Is he Muslim?

He's lucky that the "grand kleagle" of the West Virginia Ku Klux Klan, bobbie byrd, didn't get ahold of his family back in the thirties. "Sheets" didn't know an african from an arab back in those days.

Lebanese Americans are usually Christian, though it doesn't say.

I had a Battery Commander who was Lebanese. He was a Methodist or Prespeterian(sp). The key is his first name. Chris. How many muslims name their children Chris? Not many. They might get their heads cut off.

How can this be? According to the Left, all Republicans are evil, knuckle-dragging racists.
Even if he's a Muslim, I'm cool with his candidacy. Radical Islam is no more a true reflection of that faith than the witch burners and clinic bombers are a reflection of Christianity.

"Lebanese Americans are usually Christian, though it doesn't say." Rep Charles Boutany (R - 7th District of Louisiana) is of Christian Lebanese heritage.

He should LOSE if he is a Muslim. Would we have put a person of the Nazi Party in office in WWII?
But, he claim Catholicism. As long as he doesn't become a shill for CAIR, he should be OK with me.

If I recall, Arabs came to America around the Civil War and mostly settled in the South, mostly in Mississippi and Louisiana. They were mostly merchants and steamboat operators.

The odds are strongly in favor of his being Christian, especially since his family emigrated here in the 20's. Like most Arab Christian immigrants, primarily before the muslim onslaught to our shores over the past 30 years, they left their homelands because of...gee, I wonder why? Could it have been muslim prejudice (at a minimum)or outright terror and slavery? Things never change. It would be wonderful if the MSM asked of the Christian Arabs in this country if they are happy to see the peace loving muslims emigrate here....well, MSM, I'm waiting......

No, not a Nazi- but how about an Aryan, nationalistic German who was chased out of Germany because he opposed Hitler's homicidal xenophobia?
And BTW- thanks to Herbert Hoover and his FBI, we never had a choice whether or not to elect a Nazi or a communist. Yes, to do either would have been suicidally stupid- but Democracy requires freedom of choice, and implies the right to be wrong.

Who called you a Nazi?
I sure didn't!
To: Mobile Vulgus
No, no- of course not.
What I meant to say was "No, we wouldn't have elected a Nazi- but should we have elected. . ."
And even if you had, I'm used to it. Because I'm 6'2 with light skin, blond hair, and blue eyes, folks assume I'm some kind of evil monster. In point of fact, I'm only 1/4 German ancestry, not "pure" anything, and 100% American.

That would be an Arab Christian. If he is a Muslim, he's a homocidal xenophobic who wants to spread this insanity to America.
By the way, we should really watch out with these Arabs. Even though the Christians are the good guys, I read somewhere that Christian then-Rep. John Sununu voted against aid and support for Israel. OTOH, if he is fully supportive of Israel and the WOT, he should get our full support.
