Arab Americans in Michigan rally and chant for Gaza

As the sun sets, Arab-Americans chant slogans in Arabic and English against Israel and Hosni Mubarak, president of Egypt. The man with the megaphone led the crowd in chants as others gathered inside Byblos Banquet Hall in Dearborn, near the corner of Warren and Chase. About 1,000 rallied on Dec. 30, 2008 on the sidewalks along Warren Ave., the main commercial drag that runs through Dearborn in the heart of the biggest Arab-American community in the U.S.
Many waved Palestinian flags, wore Palestinian scarves, and held up signs criticizing Israel and Mubarak. As the crowd chanted, one woman used a stick to jab at a photo on a defaced poster showing Mubarak smiling along with Israel's Prime Minister. The crowd also shouted Islamic slogans, such as, There is no god but Allah and the martys is loved by Allah.

@freddyfast9

Tell yourself that.

The muslims cannot keep the radicals from taking over their own country where there aren't many freedoms so what makes them think they can control the radicals here in america?

You obviously haven't seen all the footage from this rally either. I have and there is no fabrication in my statement. You should pony up on your knowledge before you accuse someone of 'making crap up'. The majority of the footage where the arab demonstrators attack the news crew is right here on youtube. Same rally, same day. Look it up! As soon as an opposing viewpoint came up, the arab protesters became enraged. They came here for a future. As long as it doesn't effect their belief systems.

@gyneman

Stop making crap up. Many of the protesters are Christian Arabs...they're being killed by Israel as well.
