It is not available for sale within the entire Arab world, even in countries with well-developed infrastructure such as the United Arab Emirates ...
Well, I certainly hope Amazon doesn't have an anti-Muslim bias. Being as the Kindle is just now going international, perhaps they have not yet worked out deals with the countries you mentioned.

Well, what more proof is needed?

Am I wrong?
Yes, you are. Many Muslims are patriotic American citizens and many have served honorably and long in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not every Islamic believer is a terrorist any more than every Christian blows up abortion clinics.
