"Of the 25,000 American citizens and green-card holders in Lebanon, at least 7,000 are from Dearborn, Michigan, the heart of Islamic America, and especially Shia Islam. These 7,000 are mostly Shi'ite Muslims who openly and strongly support Hezbollah. Ditto for many of the rest of the 25,000 that are there."

Sounds like she's trying to stretch the 7,000 number into 25,000.

I don't even believe the 7000 number. 7000 from Dearborn, which also has a large Christian Arab population, including a huge Antiochian parish, does not translate into 7000 Hezbollah supporting Shi'ites, even if there are a lot of dual-citizenship Shi'ites in Dearborn. I'd lay better than even odds that some, and not just a handful, of the 7000 are from that parish and visiting family or Balamand Seminary.
