There are Iranian Arabs in Khuzestan and many people today who descent from early migrants. Also Azeris and Kurd are about 50% of Iran. Persian is the ethnicity and what is great about Persians many early Persian because scholars and poets and rivaled Arabs in their own language and many Arabs became Persianized like the Abbassids.

Very educational! People have a tendency to confuse/conflate ethnicity with religion a lot. People assume Jews are European/white quite often, for instance, despite the religion originating in the same area as Islam, or think that every Buddhist is Asian.
Yeah, but it's a different case for Jews. The word itself is used to refer to an ethnicity, separate from the religion. It's often Ashkenazi Jews who are singled out in this conversation, because other Jewish diasporas have different names (Mizrahi being called Arab Jews etc), and thus there is a close association between being Jewish and Eastern European. I wouldn't call it much of a conflation, as many Jewish people refer to themselves as such, regardless of religious status, and seem comfortable in doing so.
@@dudeguy8553it's still refers to the ethnicity that isn't and was never separate from the religion it's an ethnoreligion (like Druze and Samaritans). Also when Ashkenazi Jews call themselves European they don't mean ethnically but they mean they or their family live or lived in Europe (like Black and White Americans call themselves Americans but they don't mean that they are Native Americans) and white just refers to the skin tone (most Middle Eastern people are white or pale)
@@user-kb8zv5ob2q Yes, I know. I was referring to the fact that there is a very large number of non-religious Jewish people, and another (albeit much smaller) group of people who are not ethnically Jewish, but identify with the religion. You're wrong about Ashkenazi Jewish people though. A large number of them are ethnically European, or their ancestors have been in Europe for a very long time. Many Jewish communities have existed in Europe, at the very least since the 10th century. Keep in mind, there is a large degree of variance here, depending on each person. Some have more Middle Eastern contribution to their ancestry, others the other way around. Also, what? Most Middle Eastern people are not white or pale. Maybe you mean people form the Levantine, but even then that'd be dishonest, since it's a very diverse region. I am from Jordan, so anecdotally I can testify to that.
@dudeguy8553 1. Non-religious Jews are still Jewish (in Judaism they are considered like people who are part of the Jewish nation but don't act according to the Jewish law unlike Christianity where you have to believe in Jesus to be Christian Judaism is just like a set of rules you have to abide as a Jew but if you don't you are still Jewish like if you are part of a tribe and you don't worship the god of the tribe you are still part of the tribe) and people who convert to Judaism are called גרים and they are considered as people who join the nation 2. Like I wrote earlier if you join the Jewish nation you are Jewish exactly like people who were born Jewish so your race doesn't matter also there were very few converts to Judaism in Europe in the middle ages because it was illegal and if you joined Judaism you were considered as a second class citizen 3. Yes I meant the Levant but also everywhere north of the Levant (like Turkey and Kurdistan) and most Levantine people who have darker skin tone tone are Muslim because Muslim married people from Africa, the Arabian peninsula and South Asia who are darker but Druze, Jews, Christians and Samaritans tend to be more pale because they didn't and only married between themselves
@@user-kb8zv5ob2q Oh yes, then we are on the same page here. I tried to point it out to show the distinction between Islam and Judaism. I can attest to what you said about Christians. I live in the area of Jordan with the most Christians, and they are often whiter. It's diverse though, like I said. I have a lot of relatives with blonde hair and colored eyes on one side, and relatives with darker skin and even curly/afro hair on the another.
And just because you are from an Arab majority country does not mean you are Arab and being next to an Arab country does not mean that you are Arabs because Persians and Iranians and Kurds are not Arabs
I think it's because most (93%) of Arabs are Muslims which is the vast majority of the population and we know more about Arab nations then other areas due to religious conflicts and immigration issues in Europe.

I feel like a lot of people just don’t really know where you have to be to be considered “Arab”. I feel like a lot of people conflate places like Iran and Pakistan and Arab even if they aren’t simply because many people in the west just don’t know where Arabia really is. They don’t realize that it’s basically just the peninsula and not the whole greater region.
As a South Asian, I had no clue people even remotely considered Pakistan as Arabic. I just assumed people at least knew a tiny bit of history about the British Colonial past.
Well tbf the majority of Arabs don't live in the Arabian peninsula. And before you say that "they aren't true Arabs", for the majority of them: they have Arab DNA, Arab culture, and speak Arabic as their native language.

Here's the thing, saying India is a "Muslim Nation" implies heavily that the laws that govern the people are derrived from the Koran and Hadiths.

Indonesia is also not a Muslim country Sure the majority of the population is Muslim, but since it doesn't apply Shari'ah laws (except for Aceh) it's not exactly a Muslim country
If that's the way you're looking at it then there are no Muslim countries. If you mean to say that having any laws derived from Quran and Sunnah makes it a Muslim country then both Indonesia and India become Muslim countries. And so do many western countries, like the US.

I think it’s important to measure the percentage of Muslims of the whole population in different countries. When people associate Arabs with Muslims, I think one main reason is the percentage of Muslims of the whole national population in Arab countries. Using straight numbers sometimes is not that accurate as it also varies directly with the total population size of a country (as in India). So maybe using percentage would be better.

It’s probably because they’re a minority amongst us. But yes Jews for example are a very big part of the North African culture
Definitely strange honestly. As you said, in Arab countries actually Christians and Jewish people are very big and still they are all summed as muslims.

Very educational! People have a tendency to confuse/conflate ethnicity with religion a lot. People assume Jews are European/white quite often, for instance, despite the religion originating in the same area as Islam, or think that every Buddhist is Asian.
Yeah, but it's a different case for Jews. The word itself is used to refer to an ethnicity, separate from the religion. It's often Ashkenazi Jews who are singled out in this conversation, because other Jewish diasporas have different names (Mizrahi being called Arab Jews etc), and thus there is a close association between being Jewish and Eastern European.
I wouldn't call it much of a conflation, as many Jewish people refer to themselves as such, regardless of religious status, and seem comfortable in doing so.
@@dudeguy8553it's still refers to the ethnicity that isn't and was never separate from the religion it's an ethnoreligion (like Druze and Samaritans). Also when Ashkenazi Jews call themselves European they don't mean ethnically but they mean they or their family live or lived in Europe (like Black and White Americans call themselves Americans but they don't mean that they are Native Americans) and white just refers to the skin tone (most Middle Eastern people are white or pale)
@@user-kb8zv5ob2q Yes, I know. I was referring to the fact that there is a very large number of non-religious Jewish people, and another (albeit much smaller) group of people who are not ethnically Jewish, but identify with the religion.
You're wrong about Ashkenazi Jewish people though. A large number of them are ethnically European, or their ancestors have been in Europe for a very long time. Many Jewish communities have existed in Europe, at the very least since the 10th century. Keep in mind, there is a large degree of variance here, depending on each person. Some have more Middle Eastern contribution to their ancestry, others the other way around.
Also, what? Most Middle Eastern people are not white or pale. Maybe you mean people form the Levantine, but even then that'd be dishonest, since it's a very diverse region. I am from Jordan, so anecdotally I can testify to that.
@dudeguy8553 1. Non-religious Jews are still Jewish (in Judaism they are considered like people who are part of the Jewish nation but don't act according to the Jewish law unlike Christianity where you have to believe in Jesus to be Christian Judaism is just like a set of rules you have to abide as a Jew but if you don't you are still Jewish like if you are part of a tribe and you don't worship the god of the tribe you are still part of the tribe) and people who convert to Judaism are called גרים and they are considered as people who join the nation
2. Like I wrote earlier if you join the Jewish nation you are Jewish exactly like people who were born Jewish so your race doesn't matter also there were very few converts to Judaism in Europe in the middle ages because it was illegal and if you joined Judaism you were considered as a second class citizen
3. Yes I meant the Levant but also everywhere north of the Levant (like Turkey and Kurdistan) and most Levantine people who have darker skin tone tone are Muslim because Muslim married people from Africa, the Arabian peninsula and South Asia who are darker but Druze, Jews, Christians and Samaritans tend to be more pale because they didn't and only married between themselves
@@user-kb8zv5ob2q Oh yes, then we are on the same page here. I tried to point it out to show the distinction between Islam and Judaism.
I can attest to what you said about Christians. I live in the area of Jordan with the most Christians, and they are often whiter. It's diverse though, like I said. I have a lot of relatives with blonde hair and colored eyes on one side, and relatives with darker skin and even curly/afro hair on the another.
and a lot of algerians aren’t arab they’re native amazigh

I'm Lebanese, and 65% of us worldwide are non-Muslims. The problem is conflating all Arabs as one people. Arab is not even a race, it's just a language for us.
The reason Muslims are thought of as Arabs is because they learn Arabic, practice Arabic customs and go to Arab countries for pilgrimages
Pilgrimages are only to Saudi Arabia not any other country
@LelouchLamperougeViBrittania agreed
Most Islamic customs come from pre-Islamic pagan customs. Black meteor, pilgrimage, angel gabriel, jinn, praying in a specific direction, much more.@LelouchLamperougeViBrittania
So by that logic: All English speakers are inheritely British.
@LelouchLamperougeViBrittaniaWhoever built the Kaaba, its first use was pre-islamic worshiping, it is even clearly mentioned in the Quran. The Black Stone was even a deity back then
I feel like a lot of people just don’t really know where you have to be to be considered “Arab”. I feel like a lot of people conflate places like Iran and Pakistan and Arab even if they aren’t simply because many people in the west just don’t know where Arabia really is. They don’t realize that it’s basically just the peninsula and not the whole greater region.
As a South Asian, I had no clue people even remotely considered Pakistan as Arabic. I just assumed people at least knew a tiny bit of history about the British Colonial past.

According to world population review, China has 50 million Muslims which brings it above Algeria… so in the top 10 only 2 are Arabs… but those are nations, so it’s wrong to say that Arabs are not the majority… because the Arabs are 450 million, yes they are only 25% of the Muslim community around the world, they are the biggest ethnicity among muslims but less than 25% of Islam…
I am a Copt American and when I tell people I’m from Egypt they automatically assume I’m an Arab Muslim
Yeah cuz 95%+ of egypts population are muslims and 5% or 6% are Christians
Nah, I once had a girl think I was JEWISH because I said was Orthodox Christian (this was after making a whole presentation in class on how us Copts celebrate Christmas). Granted, this was in 5th grade, but people’s obliviousness never ceases to astound me.

@@cartooncatboy3009 Clearly both of you just regurgitate what is told to you but have never done any actual independent research. I refuse to engage in a conversation when you don't even know basic history.

@@cartooncatboy3009I don't know why my previous comment got deleted but what I basically said was that you need to read up on history, it is illogical for an army of 3000 people to completely ethnically displace or eradicate 4-6 million people. Moreover, we, as Muslims, have been taught that Islam was spread because people found it logical, which would make perfect sense considering all the studies that have been made confirming that all Egyptians have common ancestors, some accepted Islam, others didn't.
To answer your question: no, we are not Arabs, we never will be and we don't want to be. You can be proud of your religion and be proud of your country, those two do not go against one another. Please educate yourself, my friend.
The Muslim Arab correlation is because of the war on terror
Agree. Due to the palestine conflict, iraq/afghanistan war etc most western media kinda draw a line of division between the western and muslim/middle eastern world. This is so sad actually
Well that's even stupider because neither Iraq nor Afghanistan are Arab countries

I think that people are probably conflating islam and brown people, and brown people and the middle east
I don't think the conflating is because of the population, it's more of where was Islam discovered (in Hijaz in Saudi Arabia btw) and that makes sense why most people relate Arab counties to Muslims.

People also mix up Arabs and Arab speaking Non Arabs (ie, the actual indigenous peoples of Egypt, Syria, etc.
A number of indigenous non-Arab ethnic groups in Western Asia and North Africa that may live in or may have lived in regions of Arab countries are not always classified as Arabs but some may claim an Arab identity or a dual Arab/non-Arab identity; they include Assyrians, Arameans, Jews (in particular Mizrahi Jews, some Sephardi Jews), Copts, Kurds, Iraqi Turkmens, Mandeans, Circassians, Shabaki, Armenians, Greeks, Italians, Yazidis, Persians, Kawliya/Romani, Syrian Turkmens, Somalis, Djiboutians, Berbers (especially Arab-Berbers), and Nubians.

Saying that [[Sudanese Arabs]] are Arab but not Peninsular Arabs doesn’t mean they’re not real Arabs. The same thing goes for [[Syrians]]/Syrian Arabs who are mostly Arabized Assyrians similar thing goes for Lebanese Arabs being Arabized Assyrians as well. [[Sudanese Arabs]] are mostly Arabized Nubians, Nilo-Saharan peoples, Beja, Cushitic peoples.

I work at an arabic restaurant and trying to explain the differences between Turks, Arabs and Iranians to my older Puerto Rican mother was rather difficult
Turks, Arabs and Persians do make sense to be confused with since they borrowed words from each other, but I'll say Arabic didn't borrow from Turk nor Persian but it was vise versa

Here's the thing, saying India is a "Muslim Nation" implies heavily that the laws that govern the people are derrived from the Koran and Hadiths. So it a country with a lot of Muslim people but it absolutely isn't a Muslim nation.
I believe Indonesia also falls into the category of a nation that had many Muslim people but isn't a Muslim nation. It is a Representative Democracy that tries REALLY hard to be neutral.
Kind of surprised that you are mixing words here.
Yeah he misspoke there. Not sure about the others but Türkiye is also Muslim-majority but not a Muslim country in the sense of the law
Yeah agreed. Also, I wanna add Pakistan, Egypt and few other countries too. Tho they have majority of muslims and muslims rule them, their law is "democracy" and they don't follow the monarchy or Sharia.
Indonesia is also not a Muslim country
Sure the majority of the population is Muslim, but since it doesn't apply Shari'ah laws (except for Aceh) it's not exactly a Muslim country
@@ThatdudeAry I did mention that but I wasn't 100%.
If that's the way you're looking at it then there are no Muslim countries. If you mean to say that having any laws derived from Quran and Sunnah makes it a Muslim country then both Indonesia and India become Muslim countries. And so do many western countries, like the US. Islam has had a bigger influence on the world than people realize, and numerous ideas were borrowed from Muslims by Europeans, including some rules of law.

If you do a ratio based on Muslims per capita they’ll all be Arab (+ some of the “stans”). Yes it’s a problem to think Muslims only live in Arab countries but to say those are the countries where Islam has the most influence because Muslims make up the vast majority of the population is accurate.

this is why it's crazy to call Palestine a Muslim issue just bc its an Arab country. Some of the oldest churches and Christians are Palestinian, and yes, there are Jewish communities in Palestine too. Many churches and synagogues were also destroyed during Israel's ongoing onslaught, but the news will only report on the mosques destroyed to conflate the stereotype in the western world that the Palestinian genocide is just a Muslim issue. It's a human issue

I think it’s important to measure the percentage of Muslims of the whole population in different countries. When people associate Arabs with Muslims, I think one main reason is the percentage of Muslims of the whole national population in Arab countries. Using straight numbers sometimes is not that accurate as it also varies directly with the total population size of a country (as in India). So maybe using percentage would be better.
pakistan iran. turkey are 98+% muslims. more than the majority of arab countries.
indonesia is 88%.
only india where the muslims are the minority
