All arabs like other humans have different opinions about life.
The western media trys to paint, and quite effectively, a picture of all muslims as terrorist.
The world views All arabs as muslims, unfortunately they are not.
To this day the u.s. will not define the word "terrorist" as they over qualify for this more than any country in existence.
They have manipulated the media to fool the public into painting the muslims as the bad guys and the arabs are paying the price.
It would be to thier advantage to learn Islam better since it is in the Arabic language. If they but knew.

The vast majority of Arabs are decent human beings, just like the vast majority of all people groups. Unfortunately, the media and the government focus so much on the terrorists that we in the West get a biased picture of them.
Unfortunately -- just like in many things in life -- there are a few people who ruin it for everyone else. An example of this would be the terrorists, who give the whole Arab population as a whole a bad name. Defining a whole people group based on the behaviour of a small subset those people leads to prejudice, hatred, and war.
Now, the reverse question -- namely, are many terrorists Arabs? Unfortunatley, yes. No other people group has as many terrorists. Does that make them all terrorists? Absolutely not.
Treat people with decency and respect, and you will find most people will return the courtesy. Those who do not are not worth your time. And those who go even further and commit crimes of terror to achieve their objectives will eventually be apprehended, judged, and punished -- as it should be for all criminals.

No - because the Druze are Arabs - and they are not terrorists. They even fight side by side with Israeli IDF soldiers, against Palestinian terrorists. The question would be better asked about Muslims however - because the Druze are Christian Arabs.
Do I think all Muslims are terrorists? No.
But while it is true that not all Muslims are terrorists, it is ALSO true that nearly all terrorists are Muslims. And YES - they are predominately Arab Muslims - who are doing all the terrorizing and killing. Wahhabi Islam, for example - the same sect that Osma ben Laden belongs to - has Saudi Arabian roots and origins.
YES - Wahhabi Islam is only one sect - but even moderate Muslims tend to glorify terrorist organizations. The religion is inherently violent. To deny this is to deny Islam the opportunity for reform, which even intellectuals in Egypt agree is necessary if it is to adapt to modern times.
As for the terrorists themselves . . .
I will say this directly about them in the Arabic language:
In'al yomak! Bala ya khumak - rooh fi siteen alf dahya!

No, Extremists are the terrorists, and in every culture they have/had there version of a terrorist at one time or another, sadly, people stereotype an entire group with the bad of the few....
