Arab Americans - Questions and Answers

Detroit Free Press, July 30, 2006

The Detroit metro area has one of the largest concentrations of Arabs living outside of the Middle East. To help readers and reporters, editor Joe Grimm and the Detroit Free Press created a web page with answers to some of the most common questions about Arab Americans.  The site page includes links to information about Arab Americans' origins, language, demographics, family structures, customs, religion, politics and more.
