Agree, even Ali RA has faced huge opposition. Today the dynamics is different, not just that but the mentality of Arabs themselves is different, Arab nationalism is on rise. My whole point was that the Arab Journalist asking IK about providing Nuclear umbrella to any Arab nation is stupid because why would any country would risk their existence over the people who are racists towards them or consider them lower ?
There's bad Arabs and good Arabs. I have noticed, on the internet, the nationalistic Arabs are either racist or indifferent to non-Arab Muslims and the very religious Arabs are generally not racist. On a more personal note I've had Iraqi, Algerian, Yemeni and Saudi friends, some of them very close, they were all quite normal people, no complex or anything. My experience is in the West, not in Arab countries, so idk if that makes a difference.
Though I don't know about the general Arab opinion of Pakistan.. not talking about the rulers, but the average man on the street. When some of my relatives visited Mecca for pilgrimage, they (the women are tall and fair) were mistaken for Pakistanis and the Arab staffers (don't know which place) were like "hey wait they're Pakistanis, take them to..." and they were given a somewhat more special treatment than what regular Bangladeshis get. Make of it what you will.
