And you're basing that on what exactly? What does a Bosnian or a Kosovarian have in common with someone living in Mali? What does an Iranian have in common with someone living in Saudi Arabia? What does an Indonesian have in common with an Algerian?
See, that's the problem. The broad brush, you don't apply to christians for some reasons. You could give them the courtesy of at least considering their different cultures and traditions. It goes much deeper than that and so far I give you the benefit of the doubt of not being wilfully ignorant. But it takes a lot of catching up. Not every muslim is an Arab and not every Arab is a radical. And if you look at Tunesia, or Bosnia or Kosovo or Marocco, the last thing these people desire is a theocracy.
So that statement is stupid or ignorant. Make your own pick.
