I think the problem stems from the simple fact that we as a society have such high expectations of Arabs being model Muslims, that when they finally display un-Islamic & immoral behaviors - it creates all these anti-Arab sentiments we harbor. Arabs are no more Muslim than other ethnicities, in fact Islam reached many non-Arab lands before it reached many Arabs. So, chronologically speaking, East Africa embraced Islam long before North Africa & Shaam (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, etc) did. That alone should dispell any minconceived notions about Arabs being more Muslim than us or anyone else. Like everyone else, they have their good and their bad.
