I just scanned through the entire 29 pages of the Summary. No mention anywhere of Christianity or the involvement of any Arab Christian organizations, though the overwhelming majority of non-Mohammedan Arabs are Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox or Coptic Christians. The a substantial majority of Arabs here in the States are Christians. I do note that the Mohammedan Attorneys’ Association plays a role, however. :(

Good catch. Relates to NYC immigration patterns. The first Arabs in NYC were Christian (circa 1890s). The oldest Orthodox church in Brooklyn dates to around that time period. Later arrivals extended that community because of infratstructure of common language, food, etc. However, many of the Christian Arabs and early Muslims are so thoroughly assimilated by the fourth or fifth generation, they are no longer active in the community outside of a small number via churches or mosques.
