The Arab American News is unlike any other newspaper.

Obviously so. Have we finally discovered the legendary 'moderate' Muslims?

One of the things that is often unremarked is that Arabs who become American citizens are remarkably well-integrated into the society, something no other country can claim. Normally, Muslim integration means they have conquered another nation and everyone converts or is dhimmi. Certainly, Europe has shovelled theirs into slums and has no solutions to the festering problem.

So I liked this article. It showed a difference of opinion from most media. But it is not anti-American per se. There were a few lines that some people might question about Jews but it didn't seem to cross the line. To me, it seemed pretty carefully worded, saying no more or less than they intended. Something about it made me think a lawyer helped them write it.

Anyway, an interesting read from a source I hadn't known previously. Maybe we'll finally have some Arab reporting from an independent American viewpoint.

Good find.

I guess, their editor/publisher Osama Siblani has met with the President. Of course he considers Hizbollah freedom fighters, not terrorists, called for a moment of silence for the martyrs at a recent rally, and has noted that The terrorist here is the Bush administration. On the designation of Hizbollah's Al Manar a terror group, By that standard, they should shut Fox News for inciting violence against Muslims..

Moderate, relatively, I suppose.
