You are confusing Muslim with Arab. Most of the world's Muslims are not Arabs. You also need to be aware that not all Arab countries are identical. Dubai (UAE) has a far more open society than Saudi Arabia, for instance.

This thread started with information about a tech conference (relevant to the list), and has degenerated into poorly-informed stereotypes (completely irrelevant, and disappointing to read).

Between this and all the 'why I hate Microsoft', 'my ISP is the worst', and 'the Googles are dumb' threads lately, this list is being a real drag to read lately.
