This Should Be Interesting

Movie star Tony Shalhoub is hoping to improve American-Arab relations by making a new film about his "people". The award-winning Arab American star of TV hit Monk is producing a new film, American East, which focuses on Los Angeles-based Arabs coming to terms with the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the emotions they encountered from angry and upset Americans. Shalhoub insists the project comes at a perfect time: "If there was ever a time for it to be done... it's now. It's now or never as far as I'm concerned."

I like Shalhoub. Wish more Arabs in the west would follow his lead and try to improve our image.
