They would see it as a victory.

Lol. You don't know Arabs. Of course, most Muslims aren't Arabs. I think the largest group of Muslims is the Indonesian contingent. North Africa and the near and middle east are stuffed with'em.

===================================

From Google:

There are currently an estimated 6.7 billion people on the planet Earth.

As of 2010, over 1.6 billion or about 23.4% of the world population are Muslims. Of these, around 62% live in Asia-Pacific, 20% in the Middle East-North Africa, 15% in Sub-Saharan Africa, around 3% in Europe and 0.3% in the Americas.

Approximately 33% of those, or 2.2 billion, consider themselves Christian. That makes Christians the largest religion in the world by far. However, Islam is currently growing at a higher rate than Christianity.

Just over half of those Christians, or about 1.1 billion, are Roman Catholic (with some additional 240 million Eastern Orthodox). That makes Roman Catholics, by an overwhelming margin, the largest “denomination” of any religion on the planet. No other Christian “denomination” comes anywhere close to comparing.

That was a strange post, of course Islam sees this as a victory.

A Muslim cleric leading Muslim prayers in the Vatican, Muslims will love that and will see it as a territorial victory.

What are you babbling about? The posts were about Imams in the Vatican; Arabs were not mentioned.
