Book Description
Despite having an estimated population of 3.5 million and being integrated in many parts of the United States, Arab Americans remain a largely misunderstood ethnic group, especially in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. For example, the common assumption that Arab Americans are devout Muslims is incorrect; according to the Arab American Institute, 63% of Arab Americans are Christian.
