middle eastern arabs here in the netherlands dont consider us arab especially iraqi's. it's because of our dialect. but when they need you youre there "arab-brother". :eek:hno:
really what do expect from mothers in law?
levantine doesnt mean arab.
levantine doesnt mean arab.
I know but I meant levantine arabs and shouthern arabs,levantine arabs are syrians,lebaneses,jordanians and palestinians.
sure !
Yes,north Africans are Arabs , with Berber minority too. but i consider them Arabs in General.
arabs are from the arabian peninsula....so how can africans be arabs....?? :eek:hno:
Arab identity is the product of a historical interaction among people sharing a geographically unpartitioned area. Arab is not an ethnic defintion, it's all about culture!
No they are not, but then again I'm lebanese and technically speaking, I'm not really arab. They speak arabic, but just because they do doesn't mean they are arab. They have their own ethnicity and that is a mixture of berber, european, african and arab, so arab is just one part of the puzzle.
^^ "Arab" is not only an ethnicity, it's also about a shared history, culture and language,
Ethnically I'm half Berber, half Morisco, but I feel Arab just like Ricardo from California feels American.
well we latin americans share even more things with european latins than u do with arabs from the peninsula....but we dont call ourselfs just latins....hummm why dont u call urselfs arabized africans...and there problem solve..!! :lol:

I'm half Berber, half Arab, and I feel moroccan. I don't think that I share many things with arabs from the Arabian Peninsula.
agree with redalinho, arabs are not an ethnicity since even inside KSA and Yemen there is a huge diversity of people. It's all about culture and since Maghreb was influenced by other cultures such as amazigh and european, it's probably why some middle-eastern arabs look down on magrebians arab people. But i think in the end people who consider themselves arabs are arabs.

latins are from shouthern europe...so how can americans be latins? just call yourselves latinezed amerindians and problem solve!
Arabs before Islam were categorized into arabized arabs (Ismailites/Adnanites) and pure arabs (Qahtanites) .. after Islam an arab acquired a wider definition which is basically everyone whose native language is arabic.
If we go by the ethnic definition your cousin's mother in law may not be consider an arab either.
latins are from shouthern europe...so how can americans be latins? just call yourselves latinezed amerindians and problem solve!
most latin american have latin european blood, they give this continent a lenguage, religion, traditions and other stuff from the european latin countries....plus due to the huge migrations many people in latin american have pure latin european blood..that means no mixing with amerindians wich are a very very small minority if u count the ones who have pure blood....u cant compare latin americans ( yes we call ourselfs LATIN AMERICANS not just latins) to arabized africans....the only thing most north africans have in commun with arabs from the peninsula is the religion and lenguage....

north africa was conquered by middle eastern arabs and here still live the settlers descendants and the arabs brought here culture,lenguage,religion and traditions
