Hate to break it to you, but there are Christians of Arab descent in churches around the country. We have Syrian Christians at ours, grandfather fought in WWII as U.S. pilot, great-grandfather founded churches from our denomination in Syria.
We need to distinguish “Arabic” from Muslim. They are not always one and the same.
I was thinking she looks Lebanese-American to me. They are usually Christians.
You’re preaching to the choir as far as I’m concerned.
I have met Christian Arabs who emigrated here from the Palestinian territories (near Bethlehem, in this case).
It's sad that the deteriorating situation in those areas have forced them to leave ancestral homes they've been in for centuries.
But there's a very positive flipside to this sadness, at least where America is concerned. Because some unknown number of these Arab Christians have ended up in the US. And being fluent in Arabic all their lives, and having not the slightest shred of love for radical Islam, and wanting to do their patriotic duty for their new adopted homeland, they have readily consented to being recruited into a large variety of government agencies who have found that they have a desperate need for fluent Arabic interpreters since September 2001 (for some strange reason).
