share of Muslims (about 3.7%) of any state. People don't always realize that.

And then people don't necessarily realize that Michigan Arabs/Middle Easterners are not all Muslims (Lebanese are probably the biggest single group and they have many Christians). And of course many Muslims are not Arabic (and often have sympathy with the Palestinian people).

There is a very vocal group of folks on the Palestine-Israel issue in Chicago. I expect if the war is ongoing then that will create significant protest activity.
