Mr. Shora is an amazing facilitator and is very well respected in the law enforcement community. His collaborations with the different agencies are very informative and I expected no less with this book.
As a member of a diversity management program and an educator, I have read several publications on this topic. This is the most complete and concise that I have come across to date.
It’s an easy to follow book with a wealth of information that can be useful to all of us. It is an excellent resource to learn about Arabs and Arab-Americans as well an eye openener for those that think they know and truly don’t.
Although I am very familiar with Arab culture, I found this book educational and enlightening. I shared it with several friends and colleagues and it was very well received by all. Two thumbs up!

Non-biased information on Arab Americans and Muslims can be very difficult to find, but I found this guide to be thoughtful, honest and educational. This book filled a huge void in my knowledge base on these diverse communities and was great myth buster. We need more non-fiction handbooks like this and I’m thankful to have found it. Well done!
