Ray Hanania talks with callers about the failure of the American Arab community to effectively engage mainstream Americans because of their lack of understanding of strategic communications. Only 15 percent of the Arab community in America is engaged in effective activism, and much of that involves extremist politics that focuses on Middle East issues rather than on American Arab issues.
