Funny this story isn't being reported in any legitimate middle eastern news organization.

Then why aren't other Islamic countries that radical? The Saudis don't believe in equal rights for woman. Other nations do.

Orfalea, Gregory (2006). The Arab Americans: A History. Olive Branch Press. p. 189.


The vast majority of Arabs came to this country before Obama was ever president. Maybe you should include Nixon, Bush or Reagan in your blame for bringing "that violent culture" into our country in the first place?


Also FYI:

Also per 2000 Census:

Arab Americans are more wealthy and better educated than the average American.

88 percent of Arab Americans work in the private sector. Specifically, 73 percent work in managerial, professional, technical, sales, or administrative fields.

Kayyali, Randa (2006). The Arab Americans. Greenwood Press. p. 101.

What a violent culture!



And don't tell me that now you're only going to allow in non-Muslim Arabs. As much as I'm sure it pains you, we have separation of church and state and state in this country.
Unfortunately their "Ideal" is to install Islam into our government. Thier "church" and state are one in the same.

Most Arabs in the US are Lebanese(and then maybe Syrian or Egyptian with more recent Iraqis and Palestinians). They're not all Muslim, let alone all very religious(most Muslims in the US aren't Arab).

Lebanese and Syrians and Levantine Arabs are also not much like Saudis or Gulf Arabs either for the most part, the one's I know scoff at those people(Gulf Arabs) as being rich peasants.

I frankly don't care what they do to each other.

The Saudi's are the ones preventing our independence from oil. Look up how the Saudi's use the environmentalist to accomplish their work and thinking for them.
