"No bigotry within Islam".

Tell that to the thousands of Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Indonesians and Muslim Indians working in Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar and the Emirates. They work like dogs for a pittance and a lot of times get no pay at all for months.

I stand corrected. My pre-coffee brain wasn't firing on all cylinders. Of course there is a "caste" system within Dar-es-Islam, with Arabs being at the top of the heap. Plus, there is extreme animosity between the various factions (Sunni, Shia, etc.).

I think this Mayan fellow's bubble would burst pretty quickly if he tried to live in the Middle East.
