Petition to ask NJ Governor Jon Corzine to create The New Jersey Arab
Heritage Commission.
We the undersigned ask NJ Governor John Corzine to sanction into law the
creation of the Arab Heritage Commission, AHC. The AHC is needed to ensure
timely, accurate and balanced information about the Arab world, its rich
cultures and religions. The AMHC will primarily advise the Department of
Education on how to ensure that public school courses accurately depict the Arab
people and
present a deeper, thoughtful picture of their predominately Islamic societies
with special emphasis on the pivotal role of Christian Arabs and other
minorities. Besides, AHC will work to promote Arab culture, history, and customs
to other ethnic communities, and to build alliances with people and entities
whose main objective is cultural tolerance and the promotion of positive
diversity.
The Commission will be comprised o leading intellectuals, educators and
community leaders whose main objective is to ensure accuracy and a more
encompassing learning experience which we hope to result in a more educated and
tolerant future leaders. To learn more about the commission or help in its
work please contact us. More info is available on our website
