Politics in Dearbornistan

"Time alone may favor the Arab-Americans here. Mr. Hammoud cited numbers showing that in 1998, there were 60,000 registered voters in the city, 8,500 of them Arab-Americans. Today, it is 14,500 out of 57,000, and at least 60 percent of high school students are Arab-Americans."

“People look at an Arab now, and the first thing that pops into their head is terrorism. We want to change that. Arab-Americans have to become political figures to change that.
