Arabic Question

OK, I don’t claim to be an expert in Arabic, or even a dilettante. But I’ve heard multiple pronounciations of “Umm Qasr.” Fox folks have been putting the accent on the second syllable. It seems to me that a syllable that doesn’t even have a vowel of its own doesn’t deserve an accent–the emphasis should be placed on the “Qas” part.

Am I right?
