What most people don’t understand is that most of the Middle Eastern peoples that emigrated to the U.S. up until the 1970’s were Arab Christians leaving the Middle East for opportunities and to get away from the suppression and murder that their Religion of Peace following neighbors committed upon them. Hmmmmmm, and these same Christian Arabs in the Middle East are now being persecuted and murdered again (severely) and we let their persecutors into the West by the millions. Societal suicide by slow motion......

Yes, I think it is important for Americans to understand the 19th century wave of Arab immigration. Ignorance on this question has created too much racism toward “Arabs;” the history of Arab-Lebanese-Syrian immigration to Lower Manhattan should be a nice counterpoint.
