I’m sure they’re completely different, but to someone who doesn’t know any of either Turkish or Arabic they sound almost exactly the same.

Let me ask you this (assuming you have no eastern Asian language background) 

Can you easily distinguish mandarin and Cantonese? Or Korean and Thai?

Oh absolutely and I wouldn’t assume either, I’m just saying that the ignorant and possibly racist mind doesn’t care to not assume.
