No. There are many more Asian Muslims than Arab Muslims. Indonesia, for example, is the most populous Muslim country in the world. We associate Islam with the Arabs because the prophet Mohammed was an Arab and because the Arabs are the ones who in the name of converting people to Islam conquered lands from modern day China to Spain (60% of the Old World land mass).

Only 20-25% of Muslims are ethnically Arab.
