Dozens of people marched Friday to protest Israeli and U.S. policies toward Palestinians."Arafat was obviously a hero for the Palestinian people, the man fought for 40 years," said protester Tom Jacobs, 52, an unemployed construction worker from Detroit. Demonstrators carried signs with slogans such as "Zionism is racism" and "U.S. hands off Muslim land."

Odds are Indianapolis or Toledo are the top two in that regard.
Ship ALL OF THEM TO PALESTINE. ONE WAY. Any questions???
Was never like that when Orville Hubbard ran that town! Racist SOB that he was.
Dearborn hosts the largest Arabic population outside the Middle East. http://www.dearbornchamber.org/
Dearborn is 30% Arab, and therefore the highest concentration of Arabs. There are well over 200,000 Arabs in the surrounding areas. Indianapolis and Toledo are not even on the list.
U.S. CITIES WITH LARGEST ARAB POPULATIONS
New York, N.Y. 69,985
Dearborn, Mich. 29,181
Los Angeles, Calif. 25,673
Chicago, Ill. 14,777
Houston, Texas 11,128
Detroit, Mich. 8,287
San Diego, Calif. 7,357
Jersey City, N.J. 6,755
Boston, Mass. 5,845
Jacksonville, Fla. 5,751
Many thousands of these people were relocated to the United States by US Steel (and other companies in Gary, Indiana) in the early years of the 20th Century.
They are about as assimilated as you can get in this country, so they disappear into the broad-masses identified as "white people".
They even Anglicised their names. In any case, almost all of them were Christian.
I am pretty sure that if a valid count could be made that managed to include these people Indianapolis and Toledo would exceed any other city in terms of gross numbers of persons of Arabic descent.
They should thank the Lord that they live in a country where you can disagree with the government and the masses.
Dozens? Only Dozens? Must be about 3 people. Liberal media math, don'tcha know...
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of New York City as of April 1, 2000, was 8,008,278. Dearborn, a city with over 91,000 residents. 29k out of 91k sure is a bigger percentage than 70k out of 8million.
Actually, Dearborn has among the highest Moslem Arabic populations outside the middle east.
Bingo !
And I was born there, to boot!
I know a former demonstration-organizer with a great pedigree; great at atrocity-plays and getting press. He even knows that neck of the woods.
Does the NY population include Syrian Jews, and other Jews of Arab descent? There are roughly 50,000 Syrian Jews who live in Brooklyn alone.
They don't care to assimilate. I believe they have a horn that sounds during the day for Muslim prayer time.
We're still debating about prayer in schools but the Muslim
will do as he wants. How come the liberals don't come down on the Muslim groups regarding seperation of church and state?
