We (all subcontinental Muslims) grew up hearing stories of the prophet and his companions. For a long time they have been the only Arabs we have been familiar with. It's only a human tendency to extrapolate our knowledge of a known sample to the bigger group it's a part of. This whole mental process was performed automatically during our childhood which the learned critical judgement of later life mostly failed to overcome and could overcome only through conscious effort.
5 years old believing in Santa Claus. Normal.
20 something lapping up Santa $hit. Well what do we call him? what do we? what do we? Perhaps the term $tupid comes to mind.
But then Pakistani Shias give 2 hoots to Saudis and Sahaba and what not.
For them the Ayatullah $hit smells much much better. Even if they are not 5 years old anymore.
so you see, the explanation you give do not make sense.
