Do all the Arabs trace their genes back to here? Therefore they're known as Arabs right?

You are arab if you are from the Arabian peninsula, but the term is too often used as a generalization of all the people from the islamic world.

There are Arabs in northern Africa and middle east.
This isn't really "muslims wear towels, sunglasses and beards and all live in middle east (whereverfuck that is, I don't care, USA USA USA)" tier

Th "original arabs" are from Arabia. Currently, "Arab"'refers to all populations that speak a form of Arabic which is pretty much all of MENA. Even in thes countries however, you have minority populations who reject the Arab identity such as Coptics in Egypt.

In France we call "Arab" everything from Casablanca to Kaboul. As long as it's brown and says Aloha Snackbar, it's an Arab. I know Brits call them "Asian" when they're from Iran for example, which makes no sense for us, Asians being yellow with slanted eyes. I'm pretty sure every culture has its definition.

Arab is anyone who speaks Arabic, hence Black Arabs.
The original Arabs were not a single group but hundreds of tribes spread over the peninsula. There were various semitic languages common in the region but Arabic became the main one.

The original Jews were related to this group.

For someone who is posting in Veeky Forums you sure do take pride in your lack of knowledge.

Asia is a continent, pretty big one if you do decide to look at a map.
Europeans in the 14th and 15th century referred to the entire Asian continent as "India", including China, South east Asia, South Asia and Central Asia.

Asia used to refer to what is now known as Middle east, hence the term Asia minor.

So the original Asians were Middle Easterners
Original Indians were everyone else in Asia.

...sorta

The majority of "Arabs" from outside the peninsula are LARPers who wanted to suck our cocks

Not much relation besides "muh great-great-great-great-great grandcousin's neighbor's cat used to belong to a half-arabian guy"

Words change their meaning over time.

We call "Arab" anything brown anyway

>you sure do take pride in your lack of knowledge
You are the uneducated one here user, in France the term "Asian" refers exclusively to yellow people. And we know more about geography than many, since we have our footprint on every continent and our flag in most of them.
"Arab", "Asian", etc is just a cultural point of view specific to each country.

Do yo refer to Hindus and Sikhs as Arabs? How do you call white Arabs like Hafez al-Assad, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri and prophet Muhammad?

No, The Arabs were nomadic Asiatic tribes who conquered much of the Middle-East and North Africa in the Middle Ages. In Antiquity the Middle East was inhabited by many semitic tribes(they were also Asian, though).

>Do yo refer to Hindus and Sikhs as Arabs?
No, they're "Indians". There's no Sikh here anyway, but we wouldn't make any difference.

>How do you call white Arabs like Hafez al-Assad, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri and prophet Muhammad?
"Arabs". Like Morrocans, Syrians...

>In France we call "Arab" everything from Casablanca to Kaboul. As long as it's brown and says Aloha Snackbar, it's an Arab.
>And we know more about geography than many


Ok.

Arab refers to a specific ethnic group. It would be like calling all East Asians Chinese.

>Do yo refer to Hindus and Sikhs as Arabs?
Don't get me wrong, French know of Indians, but if they don't wear their traditional costum people will think they are Arabs.
>white Arabs
If they don't wear any Arab costum, people will think they are Europeans.

>prophet Muhammad
WE

You're not french, you're retarded. Accordignly the definition you used is that of a retarded normie from France or elsewhere.

Arabs are those who speak arab (as mother language) or come from an arabic-speaking background, basically. This comes with a cultural background as well as simply language. Most modern arabs have nothing or little to do with the Arabian Peninsula.

Not my fault if you're a cretin. I know that some countries have different definitions regardless of the geography, but apparently you don't.

This thread reeks of both bait and under ageb&.

First of all, Saudi Arabia is no more 'Arabia' than Yemen and the Gulf countries and parts of Jordan.

Asia is a continent and the word is used (for some reason) colloquially to mean an East Asian person.

"Arab identity" spread gradually as Muslims living among Arabs adopted the language. Tribes migrated to Egypt and South Iraq and the Levant, strongly supporting this shift and then it spread further.

Thus, the British called those people " Arabs" who speak Arabic and do not necessarily descend from Arabs proper but live in a society where those who do descend from the Arab Muslim saints are considered nobility.

the original jews were north-west semites / canaanites, where as you're talking about south semites. Arabic is not part of the north-west semitic language family

>There is no such thing as original jews

As for the Semites(Hebrew inluded) they were Afro-Asiatic E1b1b tribesmen that conquered the Mesopotamians J1-J2 and forced their language on them


Canaanites are Hamites, and so are the Arabs btw

It isn't an ethnic thing. Arab culture, language and religion erased most of the local cultural groupings of the middle east but they didn't ethnically cleanse them or whatever. It's like England. Only perhaps a hundred thousand or so English settlers came from the continent but their dominance in socio-economic terms led to the millions of Britons to give up their cultures to kowtow to their new masters.

This is the prime example why people from US can be called united statians and the people from America continent, Americans.

nobody uses the term "hamite" any more, it's scientifically inaccurate. in any case nobody ever considered Canaanites or Arabs Hamites. They speak semitic languages and are therefore semitic.

Hamites is a racial term designating the J1 and J2 population of the Middle East, as opposed to the E1b1b Afro-Asiatic know as Semites

>They speak semitic languages and are therefore semitic
They were Semiticized, like the Akkadians semiticized the Sumerians.

>nobody ever considered Canaanites or Arabs Hamites
The Bible and the Hebrews that invented Hamites and Semites did so
