Wouldn't be offended necessarily. He's Muslim and South Asian (parents are Gujurati and Punjabi) so it's easy to think that. We need to offer grace to people outside of our ingroup. They're going to know less and that's ok. Just like I don't know if O'Keefe is Irish, Scottish or Potato.
He's not an Arab.
Conflating being a Muslim with being Arabian is a good habit to break.
Absolutely agree. Especially since the majority of the world's Muslims (60%) live in the Asia-Pacific region.
The biggest Muslim country in the World is Indonesia.
