A, wiredly, righteous-ass type. That, likely, doesn't accept Jesus as their savoir. Passionate people. Just that and that some parts of the Koran sound like they were written by an angry pre-pubescent boy on shrooms.

Hullo, hullo, you can tell us by our noise,
We're up tae our knees in Arab boys,
Surrender or you'll die,
Cause' we are the Dundee Derry boys.

Hullo, hullo, you can tell us by our noise,
We're up tae our knees in Arab boys,
Surrender or you'll die,
Cause' we are the Dundee Derry boys.

A vague word with an unclear meaning that usually includes people speaking arabic as a mother tongue AND considereing themselves arabs. The word has a strong political impact since it can be used by real arab countries to manipulate whole populations.
"Hey, are you arab ?"
"No, I am Somalian"
"So you're arab then"
"..."
"Djibuti, Eritrea, Sudan, Somalia, Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Iran, Turkey, Egypt are NOT arab countries"
"Oh, I thought they were..."
"Nope, sorry, go sell your "arab solidarity" to some other countries"
"Saudi Arabia is an arab country"
"No, I am Somalian"
"So you're arab then"
"..."
"Djibuti, Eritrea, Sudan, Somalia, Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Iran, Turkey, Egypt are NOT arab countries"
"Oh, I thought they were..."
"Nope, sorry, go sell your "arab solidarity" to some other countries"
"Saudi Arabia is an arab country"

Someone who has an Arabic name is usually an Arab or Arabic in descent. They usually speak the language Arabic and predominantly live in North Africa or the Middle East. They are a Semitic people, like the Hebrew-speaking Jews.
An Arab is not necessarily a Muslim and a Muslim is not necessarily an Arab. Islam was founded in an Arab nation and the Qur'an is written in Arabic. However, Islam spread to many other parts of the Old World immediately following its founding, to places where Arabs do not reside, such as Indonesia, which is the largest Muslim state. Therefore, there are many more non-Arab Muslims in the world than Arab Muslims. Arabs however are also Catholics and there are even some Arab Jews.

Also, to point out something else. In the twentieth century, Arab nationalists have been trying to form a pan-Arab state, ever since the Ottoman Empire ended in the Arabic-speaking lands. These have been in the form of countries like Egypt (Nasser), Syria and Iraq (Saddam Hussein), with the Ba'athist party. These people should not be mistaken for Islamic fundamentalists, as they are usually secular and Marxist, and are not Muslim in any way. Fatah in Palestine is an Arab Nationalist group, not Islamic.
He is a secular Arab.
