Some Arabs think that promoting Arabic culture means promoting belly-dancing and humus. They think that because some people would like to see someone shaking his/her belly while eating some exotic item means they have become culturally sensitive or tolerant. The two acts are acts of sensory indulgence, not of self-cultivation. Arabs have treasures of books, of ideas. They would serve humanity better by reading, living and sharing them. They have a faith which lifted them from the abyss of tribal warfare and placed them at the fore. Share it. Call others to it. Let them see it. Let them see the light.
