Actually, I always thought the Cardassians as a race were intended to be quasi-arab. Just look at the DS9 story arc. They are fascist state run by an absolute dictator. They are oppressing and attempting to destroy a very spiritual, but fierce people, the Bajorans (think Israel). Their homeworld has many deserts and they prefer the heat. Their ships even have Egyptian-looking architecture in them.

So there are arabs on Star Trek, it's just that they're the badguys...
