That's a bit harsh. When you say "Arab" you are not describing a homogeneous culture or group that represses women, blows themselves up or goes around raping.
E.g. Do you know what a Kurd is?
http://www.kurd.com . While there are differences even within the Kurdish community (review Nusayrism, treatment of women not that great) overall your description is most unfair and without merit. Actually these "Arabs" have more reason to hate Saddam than you do, partly because our culture was a bit slow to support them when Saddam's brave troops gassed and shot Kurdish children after the Kurds revolted during the Gulf war.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
