[QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [QB] I feel you supercar, I hate when people began post with phras like "According to your logic"... But nevertheless, as Rasol stated earlier, most people that speak the Arabic tongue or have become "arabised" if such a term exist are what are typically referred to as Arabs today. Like the Hebrews, and other semetic people of the area referred to as Ancient Arabia they were pretty much a nomadic people. These nomadic people began settling in lands they invaded and mixed with local settlers. No different from Saharan nomadic tribes, there were several independant ethnic groups in ancient times that have become what are called Arabs today. Over 70% of of today Arabs are in Northern and Eastern Africa. Only about 30% are in Asia. And remember throughout history all these different places have been given different names by different people. Sudan today was Ethiopia, Cush, Ta-seti and Nubia, yesterday (not to be taken literally). Although Muhammad was from Saudi Arabia, islam spread in all directions- as far east as the border of China, and as far west as West Africa, and as far north as Spain. And the many people that have adopted this language would consider themselves Arabs. However everyone that has adopted Islam did not adopt the arabic language and don't call themselves Arab. So today Arabs are not just people from Ancient Arabia, as some Jews and Christians are from this same location, its people that have adobted this arabic language and culture. [/QB][/QUOTE]
