 | | Following the Islamic conquest of the 8th century, however, the language of the nomadic Arabs came to be regarded as preserving the highest purity by the grammarians following Abi Ishaq, and the term kalam al-ʿArab "language of the Arabs" came to denote the uncontaminated language of the Bedouins. | | | Throughout much of this area, the Arabs spread the religion of Islam and the Arabic language (the language of the Qur'an) through conversion and assimilation. | | | Before the coming of Islam, most Arabs followed a religion featuring the worship of a number of deities, including Hubal, Wadd, Al-Lat, Manat, and Uzza, while some tribes had converted to Christianity or Judaism, and a few individuals, the hanifs, had apparently rejected polytheism in favor of a vague monotheism. |

| | The majority of people in the Arab world adhere to Islam and the religion has official status in most countries. | | | This contrasts with the situation in the wider Islamic world, where Arabic retains its cultural prestige primarily as the language of religion and of theological scholarship, but the populace generally speak do not speak Arabic languages. | | | The Arabic language forms a unifying feature of the Arab world: though different areas use local dialects of Arabic, all share in the use of the standard classical language (see diglossia). |

| | The Peace Encyclopedia: Arabic, Arabs, "The Arab World" |
| | [Arabs are] A people/ethnicity/nation, including a culture, language and religion, that originated in the 7th century western Arabian peninsula, and was spread to almost all the aboriginal semitic peoples of the near east by conquest, murder, rape, slavery and forced conversions to Islam. | | | Conforming the Lebanese to the will and whim of the hegemon of the day is to emasculate their rich and vibrant history; it is to cheat and pervert the history of mankind to which they remain the most faithful, consistent and selfless contributors. | | | Therefore, it is axiomatic to me that the Lebanese of today are descendants of the Aramaeans of antiquity, the yro-Phoenicians of the Bible, and NOT the Arabs of a mere 13 centuries ago... |
