Actually, that's kind of the point. That belief (that the foot is the dirtiest part of the body, which honestly is probably accurate in a sandal-wearing culture) is by no means limited to Arabs. It's a whole-Mideast thing. And it was widespread in the Mideast two thousand years ago as well, which is why the disciples were so shocked that Jesus would wash their feet. It was a job reserved exclusively for slaves.
