The issue of banning Muslims and expanding America’s existing wall along the Mexican border to deal with illegal immigration remains a contentious political issue in the election campaigns for president this year, but most Americans do not support imposing special restrictions on immigrants and specifically on Muslims.

Many people in the world look at the United States as the bastion of Democracy, citing their election process which boasts one-vote, one-person. In other words, each American 18 years of age or older has the same power to vote for and elect the people who represent them in government. It is a great concept, but…

Innocent civilians are murdered and seriously injured everyday in Palestine and throughout the Middle East from terror, but the West always seems to have two standards for suffering, one for themselves and one for the people the West brutalizes.

Sanders edge in Michigan may be due to Arab support

Bernie Sanders won the important Michigan Primary Tuesday (March 8) and a big part of his victory can be directly attributed to support he received mainly from Muslim Americans and Arabs in Wayne County. But Donald Trump still carried the state with overwhelming support from Chaldeans, Middle East Christians. The two communities have been separated…

Donald Trump is being attacked for not correcting a supporter who claims President Obama is a Muslim.
