Yes. Check out these beautiful medieval islamic quotes about niggers:
Zanj (Arabic: زنج, "Land of the Blacks" or "Land of the Negroes"[1]) was a name used by medieval Arab geographers to refer to both a certain portion of the coast of East Africa and its inhabitants, Bantu-speaking peoples called the Zanj.
"As for the Zanj, they are people of black color, flat noses, kinky hair, and little understanding or intelligence."
"We know that the Zanj (blacks) are the least intelligent and the least discerning of mankind, and the least capable of understanding the consequences of actions." Jahiz (d. 868 AD), Kitab al-Bukhala'
"Like the crow among mankind are the Zanj for they are the worst of men and the most vicious of creatures in character and temperament." Jahiz, Kitab al-Hayawan, vol. 2
"[inhabitants of sub-Saharan African countries] are people distant from the standards of humanity" "Their nature is that of wild animals...." Persian geography Hudud al-`alam, 982 AD
"They [the Shu`ubiyya] maintain that eloquence is prized by all people at all times -- even the Zanj, despite their dimness, their boundless stupidity, their obtuseness, their crude perceptions and their evil dispositions, make long speeches." Jahiz, Al-Bayan wa`l-tabyin, vol. 3
"Galen says that merriment dominates the black man because of his defective brain, whence also the weakness of his intelligence." Mas`udi (d. 956 AD), Muruj al-dhahab
"As regards southern countries, all their inhabitants are black on account of the heat of their climate... Most of them go naked... In all their lands and provinces, gold is found.... They are people distant from the standards of humanity." Hudud al-`Alam, Persian geography, 982 AD
"The Zanj are so uncivilized that they have no notion of a natural death. If a man dies a natural death, they think he was poisoned. Every death is suspicious with them, if a man has not been killed by a weapon." Abu Rayhan al-Biruni, India, 1030 AD
About the Zanj: "Their nature is that of wild animals. They are extremely black." About the Sudan: "Among themselves there are people who steal each other's children and sell them to the merchants when the latter arrive." Hudud al-`Alam, 982 AD
"If (all types of men) are taken, from the first, and one placed after another, like the Negro from Zanzibar, in the Southern-most countries, the Negro does not differ from an animal in anything except the fact that his hands have been lifted from the earth,--in no other peculiarity or property,--except for what God wished. Many have seen that the ape is more capable of being trained than the Negro, and more intelligent." Philosopher-theologian Nasir al-Din Tusi (1201-74), Tasawwurat
"Therefore, the Negro nation are, as a rule, submissive to slavery, because [Negroes] have little [that is essentially] human and have attributes that are quite similar to those of dumb animals, as we have stated." Ibn Khaldun, Muqaddimah, 14th century AD
"A man of discernment said: The people of Iraq ... do not come out with something between blonde, buff and blanched coloring, such as the infants dropped from the wombs of the women of the Slavs and others of similar light complexion; nor are they overdone in the womb until they are burned, so that the child comes out something between black, murky, malodorous, stinking, and crinkly-haired, with uneven limbs, deficient minds, and depraved passions, such as the Zanj, the Somali, and other blacks who resemble them. The Iraqis are neither half-baked dough nor burned crust but between the two." ibn al-Faqih al-Hamadani, Mukhtasar Kitab al-Buldan, 903 AD
"beyond [known peoples of black West Africa] to the south there is no civilization in the proper sense. There are only humans who are closer to dumb animals than to rational beings. They live in thickets and caves, and eat herbs and unprepared grain. They frequently eat each other. They cannot be considered human beings." Ibn Khaldun, Muqaddimah
"[Blacks] are ugly and misshapen, because they live in a hot country." Ibn Qutayba (828-89 A.D.)
"The Zanj are slight-witted (kam 'aql), and God, most high, has created them stupid, ignorant, and foul (palid)." anonymous, Iskandarnamah, 1343 AD

Damn, people don't get banned for throwing around the n word like that? I'm starting to have my doubts about this site.
Also, I'm aware of these prejudices on behalf of Arabs. It's really messed up, and it seems to have deep cultural roots from back in the days of the slave trade.
I too thought Gaddafi was pan-Africanist and was for the African Union and all. I didn't know he hated Sub Saharan ones. It looks like he has some of that influence himself though, which is ironic. By the way he's a controversial guy but taking him out and leaving Libya be was maybe not the best idea I think.
Not all Arabs feel that way; some of the ones in North America prefer to group with other minorities.

Arab racism differs from European or American racism. Yes there are Arabs who are racist against Blacks, but they are also racist against Europeans. That said Africans in general integrated in Arab societies much better than they did elsewhere. Blacks don't face discrimination in Kuwait, Oman, or even Iraq, nor are they brutalized, but yes there is some type of societal racism if you will like some name calling this true of Saudi also. In Levant and North Africa it's different story from what I hear.
Most of us are not racist against anyone, but from what I have seen most people tend to be more prejudiced against Europeans, at least this is the case of family. My maternal uncles often call Europeans barbarians and call them Banu Al-Asfar in a mocking tone lol.

Yes. rule of thumb is that practically everyone is "racist" against sub-saharan Africans since most of them can't seem to behave themselves no matter what country they are in. Only somewhat recently has looking down on blacks been frowned upon, but this is mostly only in the west.

Not only Arabs but even blacks can be quite racist. And no their racism does not differ from whites racism.
