In 1994 I made a site visit to an Arab-American center in the formerly predominantly Polish town of Hamtramck, Michigan. The vast majority of the people there were non-citizen Yemenis. The conversation indicated that they were resolutely anti-American and overly focused on Jews (one of them was obsessed with the idea that Democratic Congressman Bob Carr, running for the US Senate, was Jewish--actually Carr isn't, but that didn't matter to him).
Yeah...I think they're right...might be time for them to go back to Yemen.
The arrests also deeply troubled their Disneyland laison, Yemeni Cricket.
Justice officials thanked Muslim-Americans in the Buffalo area and elsewhere with helping them to crack the suspected U.S. al-Qaida ring, but did not specify what assistance law enforcement agencies got.
I would be surprised that people whose families were here for 80 years would be involved in terrorism. Maybe it was long established residents turning in newer arrivals. How many Muslims immigrated 80 years ago, anyway? Christian Arabs did.

Notice they are always doubtful. Nothing wrong ever happens! The woman the other day lied. Amenricans (they say) blew up the towers themselves and so forth.
These stupid statememts in these communities is what fuels problems for them. They are their own worst enemy. They don't accept resposibility ever for anythng.
They are natural born Democrats!
God bless those who came here and worked honestly and gratefully. Those who came to the US to harm it should be condemned, regardless of religious affiliation.
Dew tell. Tsk tsk tsk.
