It couldn't be Afghanistan , they can't afford to fly to America.

Okay, where did the majority of Muslims who live in America now come from. Obviously you don't know how to answer a question, and only like to insult people.

Here you go, stats from the previous census. The figures will be different now because that was ten years ago.

Afghanis, Pakistanis and Iranians are not Arabs. The Arabs are a Semitic people but those others are Indo-European ethnicities. So they are quite distinct.

"Other Arabs" in the list probably means ones of mixed heritage or with two Arab parents from different countries.

Arab Americans in the 2000 U.S. Census

Lebanese 440,279

Syrian 142,897

Egyptian 142,832

Moroccan 137,462

Palestinian 72,112

Iraqi 37,714

Yemeni 15,000

Other Arabs 424,807

Most of the Lebanese are Christian Lebanese Arabs not Muslim Lebanese Arabs. They fled to America to escape the religious civil war in that country.

Answer 2

Afghan and Pakistan are not arab. Most muslims come from India, Somalia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran.

And yes there are lots of Afghans in America. Not everyone is Afghanistan is poor. Some are upscale. They are the ones who make it to America

Answer 3

LOL.. most ARABS have come from Lebanon. Where do you get your information? Most Muslims have come from India, Pakistan, Somalia and Eastern Europe.

Answer 4

Afghanis aren't Arabic anyway.

Clearly you don't understand what an Arab actually is, or a Marxist for that matter.

Answer 5

I'm gonna guess the arabian peninsula.
