My Message to Immigrants in the United States
โYa Ghareeb, Kun Adeebโ
โO stranger, be courteousโ is not merely an Arab proverb;
it is a timeless principle for every immigrant building a life in a new country.
Respect the culture of others, even when it differs from your own.
Do not react with surprise or judgment toward their customs,
and do not raise your voice in defense of yours.
You came from a place you cherish,
and they live in a place they cherish as well.
Enter their society with dignity, not confrontation.
Let your character speak louder than your accent,
and let your respect precede your opinions.
In the United States, courtesy and refined conduct open doors
more effectively than degrees or eloquent words.
