Applaud Arab Americans
From ancient times Arabs have been an integral part of the world culture and knowledge base. Arabs invented the cipher and decimal system, scientific and mathematical breakthroughs in theory and inventions. There are about 3 million Arab Americans. As a community, they have demonstrated loyalty, inventiveness, and courage on behalf of the United States for over 100 years. Kahlil Gibran was an artist, sculptor, poet and philosopher, who was also the original author of the words made famous by President John F. Kennedy: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”.
