You’re conflating two different things here. Arabs are an ethnic group, Islam is a religion. In any religion, what it actually says doesn’t matter (or Christians would still be looking up the going rate of a slave in the bible), what people believe matters.
24% of the world is Muslim, and they are incredibly diverse. Ranging from people who want the heads of heathens on spikes, to wonderful open-minded people, and everything inbetween. To reiterate, Islam is bigger than just Arabs.
Generally speaking, Arab countries tend to not have the best track record for inclusiveness, to put it lightly.
Don’t forget that a major portion of the United States equates being American with being Christian. Biases run deep and tend to spillover into adjacent portions of the population.

If you read my comment carefully, you would notice i used the word “ either” implying that ; I DO KNOW ARABS AND ISLAM ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
