I thought the recent Onion article "Encouraging New Study Indicates Majority Of U.S. Students Can Now Recognize Math" was satire... but perhaps sadly it isn't as far-fetched as it seems.
by that logic - algebra is a word from arabic, al jabr, if you follow it to its ultimate conclusion of somebody with a racist myopic worldview, arabic = desert and camels and guys with swords = terrorism = ISIS
Keep going... Lock up everyone who uses those radical Arabic numerals then?
Also chemistry/alchemy comes (sortof) from the Arabic "al-kīmiyā" - or further back, from the Egyptian name for Egypt.
So any chemist reading books on "Free Radicals" should be questioned immediately!
let's ban elephants while we're at it, since elephant is derived from the arabic "al feel". Also Giraffes, arabic "zarafa"
