What are the best states or cities in USA suitable for Arab Immigrant to live in?

I will leave to US soon. I do not know any person living there and I prefer if I can go to a place in which I can find people that can help me especially in my first months in US. I want to know waht are the states or cities that are the most welcoming to Arab immigrants. And where is the Arabs usually live in US?

1. No where your always going to be discriminated against. I'm African American and I was born here and still is discriminated against. Maybe New York though
2. Well, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico. Parts of California. Any where there is a desert would make it feel like home.
3. Palestine... Just kidding. I have several close friends who are Arab. They feel welcomed most of the time, but you are going to see prejudice anywhere you go here, particularly as long as people link all Arabs to muslim terrorists. If you come here legally, for the most part, you will be accepted in most parts of the country.
4. MOst of them are in Detroit Michigan. They have a huge bunch or the majority of them live there. So they would be most abt to understand the problems you face.
5. You might try Minnesota. There is a large Muslim population there.
6. there is a very large arab dearborn michigan has a huge arab population.try california also any big city.
7. any big major cities would do due to the large diversity!! Stay away from small cities.
8. Northwest tip of Philadelphia .... Bala Cynwyd, King of Prussia, and that whole region. If you are looking for an apartment check here.
9. Those who said Detroit and Dearborn are absolutely right on. Dearborn has the largest concentrations of Arabs in the US. To the jerk who called the asker a security threat, maybe you're the one who shouldn't be allowed on US soil. We are a diverse country and everyone is welcome here. Someone is not a threat simply because they are different than you.
10. A little known fact, but there is a large Muslim community in the Denver metro area. I have a lot of Muslim neighbors and the opportunities here are good. Many new small business owners. I would stay away from Michigan and Minnisota, those areas are getting to be associated with radical Islam and you will find much more prejudice in those areas.
11. The people of East Texas welcome pretty much anyone who wants to work and are good people. The larger cities in east Texas are Longview and Tyler. There are immigrants from Iraq, Iran, India, and Pakistan here in east Texas. But I have only met Arabian immigrants in Houston, Texas. The people who run Carpet Mills of America in houston are either Saudi or Palestinian, I believe. It is warm here in Spring, Summer (103 degrees Fahrenheit with 90% humidity is normal), and Autumn. But you will still hear some people here saying bad things about people who are from islamic countries. That talk is everywhere here, because of all the trouble that we have had (U.S.A.) with some muslim countries. You just have to try to ignore it. Most people are nice. Be well.
12. Your best shot is Dearborn near Detroit in Michigan. There is a big muslim population and you will have a lot of support.
13. If I were you I would stay away from Arab communities. Go to a place where you can join mainstream America.
14. Don't pay attention to Paul or the other poster telling you to stay away from Georgia. I live in Georgia and there are some very nice Muslim folks here. You have to be willing to adapt here though, and don't be suprised if you get wierd looks if you wear a full black garb. It is better to adapt somewhat. I have friends that are from Pakistan and Iraq and they are both welcome here in my opinion...Atlanta Georgia has a population of Muslims but there are also Nation of Islam folks here that are different than Muslims as they were founded by someone completely different.
15. You are reported summermoondancer. Other posters have a right to post their opinion. YOU don't have the right to tell others to IGNORE their posts because it doesn't agree with your opinion.
16. Anchorage Alaska is a wonderful place and lots of Muslims that are very friendly. Also Puerto Rico and Guam.
