As you were saying who are the Arabs???
From my view I could say that the true Arab "race" has been mixed with many
other ones, BUT the language is still here. Arab does not = Muslim as you
said. Today many people say that for example North Africans are Arabs, well if
you think about it does the fact that they speak, read and write Arabic make
them Arabs???? Of course no. It's like saying that Latinos are Spanish, which
we all know that they aren't, they have been mixed with Indians...etc

Today's meaning of Arab is one who speaks Arabic.
