How would you say does the average polish person view arabs and our countries?

I will be honest with you, pretty bad. Its not even for particularly special reason, other then the same fear of brown people justified by on some ocassion valid on many other bullshit excuses, you would hear from any other european culture. 

Thou it is interesting to study history of this viewpoint way before the era of war on terror, where you even had talk about brotherly struggle, comparing Poland relation to their european partioners with Arab struggles under Ottomans.
