Seriously?

Do you realize how sectarian you are?

No. I'm not the "secretary"-type !!

Dearborn happens to have the highest Muslim population outside a Muslim Country !! (the secretary gathers FACTS) If you want to know what's really going on, ask the secretary,not the boss.

There are less than 100,000 people in Dearborn and about 40,000 are of Arab descent. A great many of these are Lebanese Christians. In fact most 'Arabs' in Dearborn are Lebanese.

As long as you are the official kibbeh rep. carry on with your "Dearborn is wonderful" campaign.

The article correctly states that there are about 40,000 people of Arab descent. It incorrectly states that is the largest Arab population outside of the Middle East. It implies that they are all Muslim, which is not true.

New York, London, Paris, Berlin, are among cities have more people of Arab descent.

Seems you failed to read your link.

Dearborn is a microcosm of the Middle East planted in the Midwestern United States. The roughly 40,000 Arab Americans of Dearborn (out of 100,000 total residents) defy the myth many Americans hold of a unified Muslim world. While there are some radical Islamists, Dearborn’s growing Muslim population runs the gamut from international traders to educated professionals to local business owners. Every Arab nationality and religious sect is found in Dearborn, from Yemeni traditionalists to secular modernists.

If we had sand in every crevice we'd be irritated too !!!
So they don't make bombs, they don't bomb things and kill people they don't beat their wives, they don't behead Christians....gee, maybe I've got it all wrong. NOT !!
Oh, it's just the radical ones I have to watch out for..........I can't spot the difference, so all are suspect.

If you're watching out for people making bombs and killing people, including civilians, maybe you should be watching out for the US military too.

Did you ever stop to ask yourself WHY some radical Muslims are so set on killing us? Don't just say because they are crazy or their religion tells them to. Why do you think these crazy people choose the U.S. to attack? Maybe you should read the 9/11 Commission Report and get back to me.

I'll make up my own mind and read what I want. The only time we need to watch out for our military is when it involves people like that Ft. Hood guy....Maj. What's his face.
You are not going to change my thinking.....I've been avoiding business run by ............. for 30 years now....way before 9-11. It's my way and you have your way. That's why this country is great.
I'm the one who walks into a car dealership and asks for a salesman that speaks English !! If I can't understand them, I don't want them trying to help me. Same on the phone........I just hang up on anyone I can't understand. I do'tcare if you'e Middle Eastern, Spanish, or what..........I'm an equal opportunity hanger upper!!!

You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own set of facts. But yes, you are entitled to ignore the facts and keep your head in the sand.

Since you won't read the facts I'll throw them right here for you. The 9/11 Commission Report and the CIA have said 9/11 happened as a direct result of blowback. These crazy people choose us to attack because we have been bombing them and occupying their countries for decades. It's going to keep happening unless we seriously overhaul our foreign policy in regards to military action, covert or otherwise.

Why are we losing American lives for some third world country? These people have been fighting each other over barren strips of land for hundreds of years. Why are we there... we can't fix their problems.

Also, why are we sending ANY $$$$ out of this country ???

Cut the funds !!

My mantra!

Glad we have found something to agree on. We should start cutting spending abroad, with the hundreds of Military bases around the world. Also aid to Israel, Africa, and whatever other place we send our tax dollars to.
