I read this in impactwrestling.com in their newsboard. I'll look for any official website for the "American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee"

-- The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee has issued a complaint regarding WWE's portrayal of Muhammad Hassan and Hassan Daivari. The allegations include:
*WWE is depicting two non-Arab Americans as Arab Americans. Additionally, WWE misleads fans into believing Daivari is speaking Arabic, when he is actually speaking Farsi.
*The USA chants prove WWE's angle has resulted in a negative image about the American loyalty of Arabs living in the country.
*WWE is undermining the seriousness of the anti-Arab American racism in the country, which has a negative impact on the younger fans.
*WWE's angle will ultimately spawn more racism.
