An arab is a person who speaks arabic as first language with an arab cultural background. It's not about ethnicity.

Arab is a linguistical and cultural label, not a race. For example, most north africans are genetically berber yet they are culturally arab and identify with the rest of arabs. Phenotipically they range from blond blue-eyed, to brown skinned and black eyed.
Guy Hey look at that guy! He says he is an arab but he is white.

Arabs are those speaking Arabic. They are different races. Indigenous arabs (Yemenites) and Caldanian arabs related to Abraham (Prophet mohammed and Arab jews before islam (eastern suadi nowadays)) and then many other races became part of the Arabic nation after the expansion of Islamic empire.e.g. Egypt.
Caldanian Arabs: Iraqis, Baharna (eastern saudi, histrorical bahrain), Hashimites (the prophet Mohammed);related to Prophet Abraham.
Indigenous arabs: the Yemenites; directly related to YA'RUB the son of SAM the son of Noah (YA'RUB=the first who talked arabic).

Arabs form a distinct yet diverse ethnic group, unified by the fact that most (although not all) speak one of the many dialects of the Arabic language. The majority of Arabs are Muslims, although many are Christians, and a small but growing number are atheists.
Countries in which the majority of the population are ethnically Arabs include Western Sahara, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Yemen, Oman and Kuwait.
There are also approximately 12 million Arabs in Brazil, 1.4 million in the State of Israel and 1.2 million in the USA. In the USA, only 24% of Arabs are Muslims, while 63% are Christians (most of the rest are nonreligious).
Only about 2% of the population of Iran are Arabs, with the majority of the population being Persians (who are completely different to Arabs). Less than 1% of the population of Afghanistan are Arabs, with the majority being Pashtuns (who are also completely different).

"French soccer player Zinedine Zidane is a Berber, not an Arab."
"Barack Obama is not, by any definition, an Arab. However, alternative candidate for US president Ralph Nader is an Arab. Not that such a fact should alter ones opinion of him."
