re: #51 SixDegrees

I should point out a few things. Dearborn has the largest Arab population outside the Middle East, the majority of whom are Muslim, and also has a large population of non-Arab Muslims. Over the last several years, they have been extraordinarily helpful to the FBI and the military in identifying unpleasant characters both here and abroad. I wouldn’t surprise me to learn that most, perhaps all, of the many domestic terrorism investigations now coming to light originated with information provided by this community, and their information and insights on all manner of topics regarding Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and other areas has been extremely helpful to our military and diplomatic efforts.

You’d be hard pressed to find a more emphatically pro-American group of immigrants anywhere, and snarking them off as a bunch of car-burning zealots is completely uncalled for.

I thought they were dancing in the streets after 9/11…certainly not all of them
