Arab

The simplest way to define an Arab is to say that it is a person whose native language is Arabic, not only one born in the Arabian Peninsula (Arabia) itself, but also in the northern part of Africa, known as the Maghreb, or indeed wherever Arabic is the native language. Many, but not all, Arabs are Muslims (there are many Lebanese Christians, for example) and of course by no means all Muslims are Arabs - though the holiest sites in Islam are in Saudi Arabia, which occupies most of the Arabian Peninsula.
