No white flag for Arab Americans

After the shooting at Fort Hood this past November, my inbox was flooded with expressions of “regret,” “shock,” “horror,” and “grief.” These strong condemnations of Nidal Hasan’s act came from what some may deem an unlikely source: three Arab-American organizations—the Arab-American Family Support Center, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, and the Arab American Institute. Indeed, in the wake of the shooting, the most vocal critics of Hasan—even among my peers—were Arabs. The logic behind this behavior is perhaps best illustrated by ADC’s press release.
