That part of your post is not just an implication, but (as someone who has posted here for over ten years) a claim which can be supported by years of threads relating to issues on the topic of Islam, arabs, terrorism, etc.

To go any further with this on the thread here would be a prohibited call-out, and if you want to ask more, then I'd suggest you PM me, but I hope my post is clear enough.
