I guess the millions of Christians from Arab majority countries would rather speak Armenian, Aramaic or Coptic then. Not that a low intelligence racist, because, let's face it, most racists are low intelligence, would be able to tell the difference. I don't think it matters what language is spoken, because if it's not of the majority/official language there will always be stigma.
Arab culture has so much to offer us yet it is little explored. To be clear, the strict Madhhab exported by Saudi via the likes of DawahMan and other is hardly representative. The rise of the cultural hegemony of al-Saud in the West should be treated no differently to the rise of neo-Nazism. The "us and them narrative" perpetuated by the likes of DawahMan is what causes the first domino to fall in the (I would say) short chain that leads people to sympathize with DEASH, and, perhaps ultimately, join them. Of course, when I hear stories of United States drone operates using terms like "fun-size terrorists" to describe children I can certainly understand why some might be driven to despair. Mala told Obama to his face "no more drones please" (it creates more terrorists than it kills; something like 90% of drone strikes miss intended targets according to official statistics) but he did not listen to her.
