Pictures of Palestinians celebrating the attack on America are shown worldwide. News commentators suggest that Arabs are ‘Satanic.’ Hate crimes erupt. Arabs cower in their homes, afraid to show their faces in the Land of the Free.

We have published one story on this website in support of Arab people. For our trouble, we have received a substantial amount of hate mail, and even viruses, mostly from people loudly proclaiming themselves to be Christians.

These extremists are no more Christians than the terrorists are Moslems. The terrorists do not reflect the sentiments of the vast majority of Arabs, especially not Arab Americans.
