I didn't exactly mince my words. However, I do like your question, in that you are correct, Muslims are not of any particular race.

I suppose the best answer I can offer are Muslims are, as a majority, a dark person race. I suspect the reaction would have been the same if these men would have been Christian Arabs.

You can't tell me that the scrutiny they came under wasn't a form of racial profiling. You don't really believe that do you? Only the flight attendants would have been in a position to know the sum of the facts (as presented on wiki). However, it has been specifically stated other passengers wished to have them removed. Do you know if the person sitting next to you checked baggage or not? I think not. This event just reeks of group hysteria. I bet the other passengers were whispering and pointing and acting all sorts of obnoxious.
