You still continue to make sweeping statements about a whole race of people based on the actions of certain owners and elites. This type of regressive generalizing has a lot to do with our learning of history from the perspective of the "great man". You superimpose the actions of a visible group within a group and then proceed to label and "other" the entire group. You know, arabs like every other ethnic group, are divided by classes too and have different interests amongst each other.

Edit: by the way capitalism builds all sorts of hipocrisy. The accumulation of value by commodifying every aspect of life is inherent in our system and in contradiction to most religious values. However, it the market is the only means by which people realize such value and we cannot escape such realities until we abolish the market.
