I think I know the quality you mean when you say ignorant and I don't think that is the right word. The Greeks we spend time with are incredibly educated. Perhaps naive is the best word?
But I will ask my friend about this and post back anything that is worthwhile. It is very curious to find Greeks being pro-islam in any way. I would think.
They are working to keep a good road with the Palestinians because there are so many Greek Orthodox living in Palestine right now. IMO. (get them out, bring them home!)
