President Joe Biden has spoken out against anti-Arab hate following a controversial opinion article published in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that referred to the city of Dearborn as the 'jihad capital.' The article sparked outrage and prompted concerns about the spread of Islamophobia and misinformation.
In a statement released by the White House, President Biden condemned the hateful rhetoric and expressed his support for the Arab American community, emphasizing that such divisive language goes against the American values of inclusivity and respect for diversity. Dearborn, located in Michigan, has one of the largest populations of Arab Americans in the United States.
