You guys are clueless. Islam is a complete way of life - it encompasses the political, social and economic. There is supposed to be an organized structure (Caliph), but this was abolished with the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
A caliph can only be established under certain strict criteria, but it is badly needed. Then you can either make war or surrender to the new Khan.
Arabs continue to live in tribes and drive camels. Who is less competent?
Arab is just a far-ranging cultural/linguistic group that includes a variety of different ethnicities under that heading. The Bedouin of the Arab Peninsula are just one group of many.
But what are we really talking about here? Muslims in the US? More Arabs in the US are actually Christians(Maronite Catholic or Orthodox) due to historically higher numbers of Lebanese and Syrians immigrating here. There's actually higher number of South Asian Muslims(Pakistanis, Indians, Bangladeshis) in the US than Arab Muslims. Of course until fairly recently the largest Muslim group in the US were black American Muslims(born in the USA) though their percentage went from 40% of US Muslims down to about 25% in the last twenty years.

The combined GDP of all 25 Arab countries [minus oil] is LESS THAN that of Spain. One-third of all Arabs are illiterate, half of Arab women are illiterate, according to the Arab League. Not one Arab country has produced even one Nobel Laureate in science, mathematics, economics or literature. Israel has produced 7 Nobel Laureates.

Actually there was an Egyptian who won the Nobel Prize for Literature, but who cares?
That's great that you know the number of Nobel Laureates from Israel... Brazil's only produced one Nobel Laureate ever--maybe that will be a question on Jeopardy.
What does that have to do with this discussion? American Arabs and American Muslims aren't even one and the same--this thread is about immigration.
Oh, look at this camel!!!! She probably named him "Lexus".
In between every 20 Mercedes you will spot one of these:

And here's a fishing boat!!!
Want me to get you some photos of the shabby tents they live in??
Oil. 99.9 percent of Arabs are impoverished and don't share in oil wealth. 20 percent of Arabs make just $2/day.
And, oil is a natural resource that arabs steal from the ground. They weren't even clever enough to figure out they had oil, American oil companies did that for them LOL

PMSL!!!!!
The friggin oil is on their land!!! Who are they stealing it from? The British and the Americans accidentally discovered oil in Saudi Arabia. The UK and the US went on to explore other countries for oil. Do you think they were goodwilll gestures, or possibly had a vested interest?
There are oil rigs in the US. Is the US also stealing oil? Australia recently discovered they were sitting on a gold mine of oil. Would they also be stealing oil from their land??
