We are wasting our time even talking about the Arabs. The Quran itself says about the Arabs :-
9:97 The Arabs are the worst in disbelief and hypocrisy, and the most likely to ignore the laws that GOD(Allah Subhana wa'tallah) has revealed to His messenger. GOD is Omniscient, Most Wise.
9:98 Some Arabs consider their spending to be a loss, and even wait in anticipation that a disaster may hit you. It is they who will incur the worst disaster. GOD is Hearer, Omniscient.
9:99 Other Arabs do believe in GOD and the Last Day, and consider their spending to be a means towards GOD, and a means of supporting the messenger. Indeed, it will bring them nearer; GOD will admit them into His mercy. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
9:101 Among the Arabs around you, there are hypocrites. Also, among the city dwellers, there are those who are accustomed to hypocrisy. You do not know them, but we know them. We will double the retribution for them, then they end up committed to a terrible retribution.
Three verses in the Quran condemn the hypocritical behaviours exhibited by the Arabs. the only Arabs who are exempted are those who are believers :-
9:100 As for the early vanguards who immigrated (Muhajirin), and the supporters who gave them refuge (Ansar) and those who followed them in righteousness, GOD is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. He has prepared for them gardens with flowing streams, wherein they abide forever. This is the greatest triumph.
But other than these, most other Arabs are condemned.
We have to make a comparison - the type of Arab that we see parading on TV today, as well as in the mosques and in the jihadi movements - are they the hypocrite or non hypocrite type? Unfortunately the prevalent Arab attitude now has led them to disaster - a continuous series of disasters that has been going on for the past 700 years or more.
So please be careful who we become infatuated with. Just like a bad virus, foolish behaviors is also highly contagious, especially when it is camouflaged under the name of religion.
