Arab/Muslim Lobby
ADC! Where is the Belly Dancer?
On the stage, speakers discussed Palestine and Iraq. And then suddenly, in the middle of a touching speech, a strong voice, in Arabic, shouted: “Enough already! Where is the belly dancer?”
Where Do You Hide Your Arabs?! 13 Sneaky Places!
In a conversation with a highly educated friend of mine whose opinions I often respect, I learned he is not excited about the US Census. I thought I left that kind of thinking when I moved away from Las vegas where conspiracy theories often thrive. My friend thinks the government will use the census data to round up Arabs as needed. I chose to be a bit more optimistic than my friend, but for entertainment value, here is a list of few places Arab Americans can use to hide if shit hits the fan:
Marwan Burgan (1954-2009)
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty_myd-d0TA] Marwan Burgan (1954-2009) was a Washington, DC-based activist, a Palestinian, who worked in Congress.

If the Palestinians were a persecuted minority in Europe, a third of whom were killed during a massive Holocaust and then escaped to a land with weaker states where they [...]

Arab/Muslim American Lobby?
Throughout this year’s campaign, I have been a strong supporter of Barack Obama. I have volunteered for his campaign in Nevada, driving through the southwest desert from my idyllic Los Angeles orange groves to lend my hand of support. I worked the phone banks with his campaign as well and tried to convince concerned Americans [...]
Rahm: Kneel Before the Awesome Power of the Arab-American Lobby
Congressman Emanuel, the President-Elect’s Chief of Staff, responded today to ADC’s formal letter about his father’s remarks. He called ADC to apologize on his father’s denigration of Arabs and assurance that Emanuel would tilt the US to be even more pro-Israel (is that even possible?). I am sure his sorrow will will licked up by [...]
