Editorial Reviews

Review

" Whenever people face sadness and tragedy then complimenting something that comes out of it becomes harder. This book provides the nation with a rich detailed lived history, which did not begin with September 11, 2001. It is an excellent compilation of events, reports and lived experiences. This documented collection of story will give readers a new chance to fill in the gaps within a historical context that Arabs and Muslims Americans have lived in. In the wake of the events of 9/11, since the tears flooded our faces, we have been forced to recount the events that created the bias and hostility toward Muslims, Arabs, and Islam. This book is a must read for those who are willing to consider the possibility that Arab and Muslim Americans should not become the scapegoats for the world''s disharmony." Dr. Sima Imam, Professor of Education at National Louis University, Illinois, and President of American Muslim Civil Rights. The increasing public-s curiosity about the Arabs, Muslims and the Arab and Muslim Americans in the United States has been unprecedented. This book explains the phenomenon of stereotypes stigmatizing Arabs and Muslims, and how it has affected their lives, a phenomenon that demonized and dehumanized almost two billion people in this world." --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for everyone, August 30, 2006
A Kid's Review
I really did enjoy reading this book, cover-to-cover. It's very touching and very informative. It will change your ideas about a lot of things. The writer along with other expert contributors have done a great job bringing out all of these real moving stories. I would recommend this book for every human being who cares about other fellow human beings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read, May 6, 2009

This book is an important document on American history. It is a must read for everyone. It should
required reading at schools and colleges in history, social studies and political science classes.
It has inspiring stories of many Arab and Muslim Americans that we need to know about.
It also does analyses where hatred come from and how we can deal with.
With detailed reports and documents the author does a great job of documenting what happened after 9/11 that affected many communities in the USA and worldwide.
Elaasar is a very enjoyable writer to read. A great story teller. I also enjoyed reading his other book THE LAST PHARAOH which was very revealing.
The author is obviously a committed advocate of tolerance, coexistence, human rights and presents a very human approach that's healing.
In this wonderful book, SILENT VICTIMS, the reader will learn about the phenomenon of stereotyping and scapegoating that has pervaded in our society.

3.0 out of 5 stars Aladdin rocks the roofs out, September 25, 2005
A Kid's Review
Mr.Elaasar has written a wonderful and splendid book. His effort to address the muslims is clear an adheres to many islamic beliefs. He an okay author who's debut novel is an instant classic. Mr. Elaasar has shown the skills he was gifted with, his book is also funny is many senses. Even the name "Aladdin" is funny and odd for an author. He play games in the book also.
