    Just of note, Arab != Muslim. The Arabs are a people group who originate from the Arabian peninsula and can be of any sort of religion. There are plenty of Muslim Arab nations, yes, but there are also a huge population of Christian Arabs (of various denominations + other minor religions also exist)

      Yes and no. The word “Arab” means two separate things: Either someone who traces their lineage to the Arabian peninsula or a member of an Arabic-speaker community. The former is what it’s, like, actually supposed to mean but the latter is more common due to sheer numbers and land area.
