Best behaved MENA diaspora groups

[TheForeigner]

Which do you think are the best behaved MENA diaspora groups?

In my opinion they are the following:

1. Iranians are a group that you never here anything bad about, relating to terrorism or crime in the West. I think the reason is they are a self-selected group of mostly upper and middle class religious moderates and liberals fleeing a teocratic dictatorship.

2.Christian Arabs tend to have low crime rates, no involvement in terrorism, high incomes, high university graduation rates and so forth.

3. Assyrians are much the same like Christian Arabs.

What other groups do you think are "model MENAs" or have very good behaviour and reputation in the West?

Pretty much those three groups that you have mentioned. I mean, we Arab Christians are well behaved in contrast to our Muslim counterparts. Muslims in general, both Arab and non-Arabs alike, tend to be very destructive and unsettling to any civilized western nations. Shiite Muslims like Iranians are never extreme or destructive in their beliefs as their Sunni counterparts.

Armenians, they're a pretty small group in Australia and haven't negatively impacted mainstream Australian culture in a significant way. The historically worst in Australia would be the Lebanese, both Christians and Muslims but not because of terrorism, they are associated with being gangsters. There haven't been too many terrorist attacks in Australia but the biggest one was committed by an Iranian.

I wanted to mention the Armenians too, but I was reminded of reading about the Armenian mob. Also I am surprised to hear that Christian Lebanese would be involved with organized crime or about that one Iranian terrorist.

Syrian Christians are pretty nice and work hard.

Armenians are great in the USA the criminals are a tiny fraction, I would consider them more Caucasian than MENA though

Shiite Muslims are heavily destructive, Look at Hezbollah, the Sadr Army and all the other Iranian puppets.

Armenians, if they count as MENA.

Well said. In Southern California, Armenians are typical small business owners, lawyers, doctors, pharmacist, dentist, etc. Some of the recent immigrants get a bad stereotype but they are nothing to worry about. The criminal/gangster element is only a problem if you somehow get involved with them, otherwise you are in the clear.

Yea the only Armenian criminals I know if is Armenian Power and Armenian Power are probably the least of your worries when it comes to Surenos gangs, they don't typically get involved in street level crimes with normal people; they stick to fraud, drugs etc so like you said unless you are dealing with them on a criminal level they aren't really going to bother you like other street gangs. Also Armenian Skinheads but they aren't super common
