Most (75%) American Arabs are not Muslim.
Quote:While the overwhelming majority of the population of the Middle Eastern region, and, in particular, the countries of the Arab world, are identified as adherents of Islam, the majority of Arab Americans are Christian, not Muslim. According to the Arab American Institute, Christians account for 63% of the Arab American population, while Muslims account for 25%, and the rest of the 12% identify as other religion, or no affiliation.http://www.us4arabs.com/content/view/5/17/
The percentage of Arab-American Christians are: Catholics (Roman Catholics, Eastern Rite Catholics - Maronites and Melkites) 35%, Orthodox Christians who are at 18%, and Protestant Christians are 10%.
