Dearborn - An Arab-American City

If you didn't catch the television series, "All-American Muslim," you might not be aware that Dearborn has a higher concentration of Arab-American citizens than any other U.S. city.  Yes, the city is known for being headquarters to Ford Motor Company.

And don't you just love it when groups from other countries arrive and begin assimilating and taking hold of American culture by running a "Ramadan Special" or setting up a telephone number like dial 84-Mecah?
