Well, I agree about the hyphenated-American thing. But, I was surprised to find out how many famous and successful Americans were of Arab descent (is that better?). Most of these people's families have been in the U.S. for over a 100 years and most of them are not Muslim.

But thanks for dumping your negative comments on the thread without reading beyond the first few lines, anyway!

You're welcome.

I just wanted to post here to "make a difference" so I could join the ranks of others who have "made a difference". :-)

You either know what you stand for or spend your life deciding.

If you ever get the chance, check out Ellis Island, you'll be surprised at the number of Arabs who came to the US over the years. I was.
