Why are you so surprised? Tons of people here really think of an Indian when they hear "Arab" or "Muslim" or "Middle Eastern." They genuinely believe Middle Eastern people look like South Asians. Remember Naveen Andrews playing an Iraqi on Lost? It was so strange, especially when they hired realistic actors to play his family.
Someone just made a thread earlier today about favorite Arab stars and a person responded saying he only knows of Priyanka Chopra. In another thread about favorite Arabic songs, someone mentioned the last Cheetah Girl movie where they visit India.
