There is a strong disconnect between "Spain" and "Spanish Muslims"

Evidently the Muslims in Spain think relations are great, while the non-Muslim Spaniards think it is horrible... I guess they aren't talking much.

There is a lot of racism there too, ya know. They have immigration "problems" coming from Africa. Its all they talked about on the news when I was in Madrid. Besides soccer.

^ I don't know, I would hope that the pollers went a bit more in depth but it's likely some of the responses of no are using arab in a more kin sense. Kind of like how partisain hacks always accuse people of being unamerican, same sort of thing, they weren't "arabs" because that's not something "arabs" do.
