Can you explain why you feel the comment is specifically bigoted; and who too?
If he is referring to certain extreme societies it is probably a correct comment (and equally applicable to other countries too). He is, perhaps, confusing radicalized leadership with a lack of intelligence.
As a whole that entire section of text was verging on bigoted (though I can understand people feeling angry about the treatment of women/homosexuals etc. in the region) but I felt it was more misguided and angry than malicious.
If your reading it as "Arab people are stupid" I think your misreading (or deliberately looking for it).
