Hmm... Unfortunately I really need this many guesses.
http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=97138 http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=81598 http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=32441 I based these three simply on searching the "story of your username" thread and thought they might fit the Latin or Arabic description. I would explain in more detail, but there's not much other than that. http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=94552 And finally, even though they have very few posts and all, the username's story struck me. Zero is an Arabic word while Kira is latin, which both combined make the name, and those two characters match the rest of the riddle.

Soo, we are looking for a person? Or a character? Or what?
See, no matter how I think about it, I dunno who this riddle might be referring to, but it strikes me strongly as referring to the Suzumiya Haruhi series. I am bound by an "eccentric" beginning and an even end. The first episode is werid - Mikuru 00, ends on the Avatar ep. Within, I am infinite and finite at the same time. Endless Eight series, a looping of time. Wherever I go I cause distress. For Kyon, Haruhi is one hell of a troublesome person. Here's where my reasoning breaks down. My origin? An amalgam of Latin and Arabic. Who am I? Haruhi, or someone with that in their name...? Well, whoever knows the meaning of the last two, the member list for Haru~~ starts at the bottom of this page... http://forums.animesuki.com/memberli...<r=H&page=18 Edit: -ist is a Latin suffix, now for the Arabic part... Edit2: Maybe the thing refers to Suzumiya, not Haruhi...T_T

Maybe
http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=56256 User's name is Lucipher (=Lucifer, devil; a Latin name with Arabic connections I think) and he/she's on the first page when sorted by reputation ascending (causes distress; could also go with the username)

Is it this?
http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=106232 It's the profile link to Arbitres. He's disabled it which could refer to the end.

All answers are incorrect. It's going to be difficult to find the right person using only a part of the riddle as each part is essential (without taking into account luck of course). Also, try to think of what the Arabs were known for or associated with; it's not necessarily that the word is Arabic in origin

Hmmm... I am no Arab, but searching the net I found that Arabs are great with Hospitality, they take care of their visitors very nice (don't know if this is correct ) so....
http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=1975 Am I going in right direction?

Alright well since no one has been able to get it, the "Arabic" part refers to something that was passed to Europe through the Arabs--it isn't an object, by the way. The latin is sort of self explanatory. If no one can get it, then I'll just tell you guys what the Arabic part means.

Finally have some free time.

The distress probably means there it’s some sort of unlucky number, ie. 13, 4 (or any variation of 4, eg. 24, 14, 34, etc), 17, 88, 666. 13 and 17 are out since they are not even, so tacking “amalgam of latin and arabic” to mean religion and numerals, some random guesses based on 666 http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=114977 http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=116434 http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=114133 http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=62907 http://forums.animesuki.com/member.php?u=119233

I-irrational numbers in general? Some are infinite while others are not, I think. (And could be defined as fractions to be finite anyway). Cause distress for unfortunate math students, and irrational numbers were developed by Arabic as well as European mathematicians.
