Arab-Americans Support War in Iraq
|
Dearborn, Michigan - Arab-Americans rallied both for and against the war in Iraq. Separated on opposite sides of Michigan Avenue in front of city hall, several hundred Iraqis waved American flags and changed "Saddam must die." A somewhat larger anti-war group was made up of Arab-Americans from various Middle Eastern countries. About 200,000 Arab-Americans live in the Detroit area--the largest Arab population outside the Middle East. Haider Al-Jafer of Dearborn, one of the pro-war demonstrators, wrapped himself in the American flag.
