In Michigan especially:

1. Most Middle Easterners are not Muslim. I hesitate to use the term Arab as some take that offensively depending on their ancestry. The majority are Lebanese Christians, along with Chaldeans and Assyrians. Most, but not all of the Muslims are in Dearborn. A lot of the Chaldeans are now in Macomb County. A LOT of the recent immigrants are Chaldeans. Middle Easterners have been immigrating to the Detroit area since the 1920's. Ford plants.

2. The majority of Muslims are blacks. Most blacks aren't Muslim, but there are about 300,000 Middle Easterners in Michigan compared to about 1.3-1.4 million blacks. There's also a sizable Albanian population in Hamtramck.

3. Dearborn has a large Middle Eastern population, but it is still largely white ethnic. East Dearborn is heavily Middle Eastern. West Dearborn less so. It is also one of the safer suburbs that borders the city of Detroit outside of the Grosse Pointes. I'll say this. They take care of their city.

If or when we begin to see a rise in the number of honor killings then that’s when I’d say there are serious enough problems to warrant certain interventions. Not just in SE Michigan but across the fruited plain.
