American Muslims, Detroit and the web
Paul Egan, The Detroit News, FBI works to cut tension with Arab community, 8 Oct 09
"After the FBI's Andrew Arena gave a recent talk in Dearborn, three teenagers approached him and asked if it was illegal for them to listen to songs that tout Hezbollah, a designated terrorist organization.
""I said, 'No, it's the United States, you can listen to whatever you want,'" Arena, the special agent in charge of the FBI in Detroit, recalled telling them.
""Can we go on pro-Hezbollah Web sites?" one of the teenagers asked.
""Yes, this is America," Arena answered.
""However, "the minute you push the button to send money to Hezbollah ... you've crossed the line.""
