But the Arab American Institute Foundation in Washington, D.C., a partner with the Census Bureau, estimates the national population of Arab-Americans to be more than 3.5 million.

Discrimination against Arab Americans The most appropriate gesture (that Americans are welcome to use) is to shake hands and then place their right hand on their chest near their heart (kissing on both cheeks is not an acceptable greeting between Arabs and non-Arabs). Most Arab Americans are admitted under refugee or asylee status, and there are also a significant number of F-1 and H-1 visas issued. immigrants were the second big group of Arab Americans, and most of them came in a wave between 1940 and 1948, about the time the nation of Israel was founded. faculty.ncwc.edu /toconnor/soc/355lect14.htm   (3063 words)

Article "Israel not a democracy in American sense of the word?" Hypnotized by political rhetoric, Americans are unaware that Israel is not a democracy in the American sense of the word.

American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee: DOJ Racial Profiling Guidelines Not Sufficient The use of racial discrimination on airlines is another problem for the Arab-American community, as Arab men or those perceived to be such, have been profiled and ejected from airplanes simply because of the way they look or their Arab names. Hundreds of predominantly Arab, Muslim and South Asian men have been secretly detained and others subjected to "voluntary" interviews and special registration procedures simply because of their national origin even though the men had no connection to terrorism. This is problematic for Arab, Muslim, and South Asian communities who have borne the brunt of racial and ethnic profiling after September 11. adc.org /index.php?id=1948   (606 words)

Home Page ADC is at the forefront combating defamation and negative stereotyping of Arab Americans in the media and wherever else it is practiced.

Arab American Institute The Arab American Institute is deeply saddened by the passing of two longtime members and supporters this week and extends it condolences to their families for their loss.

Furthermore, Arabs are now associating their identity more with their own country then with the pan-Arab views that once prevailed in the region. www.aaiusa.org   (885 words)

The American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee Reveals Its True Colors [Weblog] - Daniel Pipes On Oct. 31, Imad Hamad, Michigan regional director of the American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee (and the near-recipient of an FBI award), wrote a letter to the president of the Crestwood Board of Education in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, urging him to consider making the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha a school holiday in his district. Here he is, explaining to the Detroit Free Press why Arabs feel shame at the capture of Saddam Hussein: "You have to keep in mind that Saddam has been part of the region's history and political makeup for a long time. As I have argued about another member of the ADC staff, "the media, think tanks and politicians should consider [his] record and close their doors to someone so far removed from the mainstream of the American debate."

Some Questions for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee For twenty years, I have been hearing Arab and Muslim leaders tell me that anyone who discerns anti-Semitism in the Arab/Muslim community and has the audacity to talk about it is blind, deluded, or in the pay of Zionist taskmasters. I’ve also heard my fair share of pious lectures from Arab/Muslim intellectuals to the effect that Arabs and Muslims are simply immune to the virus of anti-Semitism, that it only infects Westerners, and that merely to raise the issue is to give the Israelis “a blank check” to lord it over the Palestinians. Arab Voice, having done something “very wrong and very unfortunate” is now to be rewarded for having done so, both by the ADC-NJ and by the Arab/Muslim community at large. www.secularislam.org /articles/khawaja7.htm   (1163 words)

Al-Ahram Weekly International Alarm bells in America In my testimony I said, "These acts of violence and threats of violence against Arab-American organisations are but part of a larger picture of discrimination, harassment, and intimidation." I will never forget the reaction when I uttered these words. The writer is the president of the Washington-based Arab American Institute.

WorldNetDaily: The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee: Betrayers of Arabs and Americans alike Apparently, the reference to a multilateral global effort to rid both Americans and Arabs of the evils of terrorism is a deeply disturbing problem for the ADC and Ibish. Unlike the ADC, the CLAO is truly representative of the American Arab population. It's time that the ADC take its cue from American-Arab groups like the Council of Lebanese American Organizations that are proud and thankful to be Americans and free from the life of misery that their ancestors once endured. www.worldnetdaily.com /news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=32363   (1471 words)
