Not all Arabs are Muslim.

Most Muslims are not Arab.

To celebrate national Arab month we all ought to marry an extra wife, loudly try to haggle down prices even at pricey restaurants, and bathe only twice per week even if we have a job interview.

>> WHEREAS,‬‭ Arab‬‭ American‬‭ lives‬‭ are‬‭ restricted‬‭ and‬‭ burdened‬‭ by‬‭ mistreatment,‬‭ such‬‭ as‬‭ civil‬‭ rights‬ ‭abuses,‬‭ harmful‬‭ stereotyping,‬‭ religious‬‭ intolerance,‬‭ and‬‭ bullying <<

I agree, ESPECIALLY when it comes to CHRISTIAN Arab-Americans that had to flee from their native countries in terror, because the Islamofacist majorities there don't tolerate ANY religion EXCEPT Islam.

Oh wait, that's not the religion you were thinking of when you wrote this resolution? Whoops, silly me...

Steve Jobs was Arab-American the same way Bernie Sanders is Jewish, on paper only.
