Interesting choice of wording - to fundamentalist Sunni Muslims the Turks are still interlopers after just short of a thousand years, the Arabs understandably feeling that they have first claim on orthodoxy. That’s carrying a grudge a long time.

No. It is because the Arabs saw the Ottomans as a colonial empire. That’s why they rebelled against it from the 1700s to 1918
