Here is a definition for those full of hatery towards Arabs. These are the facts: Arabs are the people who discover algorithmics (all computer science is based on algorithmics), first to perform a surgery on patient, invented the number zero, invented astronomy and cartography (maps), etc etc etc. While you could find 10000 books (on paper) in the libraries of Baghdad in the 7th century, you would be happy to find 5 books in europe (Arabs introduced the paper to europe). Read about their history and then you will never say a thing about Arabs.
Avicen, Averros, Beh Khaldoun, Ghazali, etc etc are some of the names that marked Arab civilization, a civilization that lasted 8 centuries. When Arabs were writing math and astronomy formulas, your primitive ancestors were wondering around in european forrests killing each other.

A group of people who were born in the Middle East. Not everyone there is Muslim, there are a lot of Christians too. Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and Syria are all in the Middle East, of course there are way more too.

The term "Arabs" is a term often used to describe people from mainly Arabic speaking countries. Many un-enlightened people use "Arabs" to define people who they believe to be Arabs, but may infact be Indians, or any number of other nationalities. Commonly pronounced "A-rabs" when the term is intended to be a insult.

A member of the Arabic people, who inhabit the Middle East. Often targeted by the American media as terrorists, the people for whom to blame our problems upon. Many Arabs are of the Islamic faith, although there are many other religious groups as well. Stereotyped as turban-wearing, grinning madmen carrying AK47s, Arabs have contributed greatly to modern society and formed many great empires in the past.
