I couldn't find this in Lexis Nexis. Where did it come from?

[netmilsmom]

Well from what I hear on our local Detroit tv stations, this group will have to push past the children with flowers and women kissing pictures of the president.

A newly-formed group, calling itself Arab-American Republicans Against Bush (AARAB.org), will deliver a message to President Bush at his Dearborn, Mich. appearance today.

With any luck, this is the same group that showed up at a celebration the Muslims had on the day Saddam's big old statue fell in Baghdad.

They almost got their butts beaten by the good Muslims of Detroit who support Bush and this war. They had to call the police to get them safely out of there!

The post from bloomberg is largely quoted verbatim from the press release sent out by AARAB.org.

[Howlin]

Exactly!

Remember the day of the celebration? I think this is the same group that had to be taken out by the police to save them from a sure beating!

[Mears]

I hear Dearborn has become quite a place.

[Hildy]

Who is funding this group?

[Howlin]

My goodness, that site looks like it could have been written by some of the Muslim bashers on this very forum!

[Hildy]

How do you look up non-profit associations to see who is involved?

[dighton]

Google results for this bozo.

[Howlin]

First I've heard of it, how about you?

[Howlin]

kcvl will know, let's call her over here.

[hellinahandcart]

How do we pronounce this...hmmm..."aaaay-rab", I guess.

[Howlin]

Holy crap! Nasty.

[CathyRyan]

Well before the start screaming about discrimination and abuse. They had better check out what happened to those three white chicks.

[Tamar1973]

Well, the founder of AARAB apprears to be the Executive Director of a group called American Muslims for Jerusalem.

Check them out at http://www.amjerusalem.org

I think FReepers need to understand that even the most fiscally and socially conservative MUSLIM is unlikely ever going to be in a position to support ISRAEL and the expense of "PALESTINE". Their devotion to ISLAM, rightly or wrongly, will alway superseed their loyalty/devotion to the Republican platform.

[Al B.]

Who is funding this group?

Probably the DNC. I smell Bonior.
