Should we stop all Arab activity in the US because we hate them ?

See WWII, "Japanese internment". Worked pretty darned well back then.

I keep hearing the admin talking point that we will send the 'wrong' message if we don't allow this deal to go through. So, does that mean we, as a country, are not allowed to refuse an "ally"? I would like to have more info on this subject.

I was thinking about exactly that today while driving on the Interstate for several hours. Four years after 9-11 we are looking at the same people that destroyed the Towers, now wanting to invest in the US. This is a legitimate deal. In 1949, 59 and 69, Japan (4 years later) couldn't buy anything in the US. But in the late 70s, the Japanese tire company Bridgestone bought Firestone, which was bankrupt and had no products or production. They paid about $75/share, which was a huge bonus for Firestone stockholders. I lot of people disliked this sale, too.
