So what if he were an Arab?
Wonderful to hear her articulate what should be understood but evidently is not sufficiently understood and accepted.
And remember: " In Standard British English, as in Greek, Kudos is a singular and not a plural noun,...." The "-os" ending rhymes with moss or floss. Back-formation of a singular "kudo" would be nonsensical.
(My curmudgeonly mini-rant of the evening - especially since I am well aware of historical precedent and tide of usage against me. There is the example of "cherry" which used to be a cherrys or something like that, cognate with Spanish cereza or French cérise - somewhere along the line we dropped the plural-sounding "s" at the end of the singular form. I fight a losing battle.)

Thank you for posting this - and the Keith Olbermann piece. But this is particularly pertinent - and our Constitution says there shall be no religious test for political office. I'm with Fran - "Jesus I'm sick of these people."
