This is quoted from the Gazette at http://www.gazette.net/stories/04082009/olnenew223747_32478.shtml :

" "Because Obama used Hussein [his middle name] in his inauguration, we feel we have a new leader," said Kareem W. Shora, the national executive director for the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee. "When you stereotype one population over another, you're serving to hurt what this country is all about." "

and also quoted from the Gazette:

"Other activities throughout the month at Montgomery College include a screening of "A Land Called Paradise," the 2008 winner in the One Nation Film Contest, on April 14 at the Germantown campus; a production of "I Heart Hamas: And Other Things I'm Afraid to Tell You," on April 24 at the Takoma Park/Silver Spring campus; and a performance of "A Land Twice Promised," by storyteller Noa Baum, an Israeli who began a dialogue with a Palestinian woman while living in the United States, on April 27 at the Rockville campus."
