If it hasn’t occurred to most Americans by now, Arabs don’t think like us.

Perhaps Muslims should be substituted for Arabs....

"Perhaps Muslims should be substituted for Arabs...."

That works for me.

Yes, "Muslims" should be substituted for "Arabs." I lived in Turkey for a year. Turks are not Arabs but they are Muslims, and I knew a Turkish professor of medicine in Izmir who though a man of science despised "the West" for having "lost its sense of the transcendental." Islam produces a rather fatalistic mindset and one that is quite at variance with what one finds in the "post-Christian" west.

Yes. Arab Muslims in particular.
