We have recognize and accept this challenge of perception. We must understand that perception is the driving force in American society, even though it is non-existent at the same level in our Arab World heritage. For Arabs, we believe in justice and righteousness. We believe in fairness. We believe in reaching out to those who suffer and to give them a hand, even when they don't look or sound like us.
Arab society is a fair society to all peoples.
American society is not. They treat foreigners with disdain and fright. Their fear of that which is strange or different causes them to act against their own will. Americans are a kind people, too. But fear drives their actions, in just the same way as emotion drives the attitudes and the decisions of the Arab people.
