| | Arab Christians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Arab Christians are people who are ethnically Arab or culturally and linguistically arabized and who follow the religion of Christianity. | | | The majority of Christian Arabs live in the Middle East where, although Islam is undoubtedly the preponderant religion, significant religious minorities exist in a number of countries. | | | The use of the term Allah in Arab Christian churches predates its use in Islam by several centuries. |

| | CIN - Arab Christian Literature of the 8th-9th Centuries by Dr. George Khoury |
| | Their reason for abandoning their ancient languages and using the language of the conqueror was that the Christians, challenged in their faith, needed Arabic in the defense of their religion and in affirming the faith of wavering believers. | | | The Monophysite church -the doctrine of those Christians who preferred to speak of the one nature of the incarnate word of God also constituted an important Christian element in Syria and was much spread among the Arab Christian tribes of the Syrian desert, namely, among the Ghassanides, Kalbites, and Taglibites. | | | The most important Christian translators were members of the Bahtisu family, Hunain ibn Ishaq, and his son Ishaq and his disciples. |

| | PATRIARCHATE - Patriarchal Letters |
| | Both religions, Christianity and Islam, believe in the Prophets of the Bible and the Apostles of Jesus Christ. | | | When quoting “Christians of the Arab World” I mean those who belong to the currently known Oriental Churches, i.e the Church of Antioch, the Church of Seleucia-Ctesiphon (which originated from the Church of Antioch), the Church of Jerusalem, and the Church of Alexandria. | | | I think that Christians of the Arab World are most qualified and capable of answering the questions asked in a Christian-Muslim dialogue, in order to find a common religious and moral platform between both religions, because of their enormous contribution to the civilisation of the Islamic World from its early days to present. |

| | indymedia beirut The History of Arab Christians 22.08.2005 10:36 |
| | These Christian Arab tribes may have found in Islam with its insistence on the indivisibility of God (“La Ilah Illa Allah” meaning ‘There is no God, but God’) a simplified version of their faith. | | | Palestinian Christians are not suffering at the hands of the Moslems, but at the hands of the Israelis, and the bullet-scarred statue of the Virgin Mary in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is a poignant testimony to this fact. | | | Thus Christianity was not an ethnic denomination but a religion adopted by many of these tribes. |

| | Essay: Arab and Christian |
| | Arab Christians, he says, are a community of faith and tradition. | | | So, while there is considerable support, in the oriental Catholic churches at least, for an Arab Christian identity, there are significant pockets of resistance and, in the case of the Assyrians, persecution for refusal to assimilate. | | | Likewise his interpretation of Jerusalem& Armenian Christians as victims who will not be conventionally religious again until the world acknowledges their history of suffering is an eye-opener. |

| | Dhimmi Watch: The Disappearing Arab Christian |
| | The Christian minorities if they are allowed to come to the West will be model citizens and will assimiliate very quickly with the indegenous populations as they have the religion in common with the western people. | | | Obviously, the Christians of the Middle East have lost the demographic race to the benefit of their Muslim compatriots. | | | Considering the fact that the Middle East is home to a wide-range of religious minorities - not all of them Christian - this increasing intolerance on the part of many Muslim governments could easily ignite numerous civil and ethnic conflicts in the coming years. |

| | Master's Thesis |
| | Over the centuries Christians paid special taxes--the "jizya" (a head tax) and the "kharja" (the land tax)--to practice their religion, and in many communities Christians and Jews were obligated to wear special clothes to distinguish them from the Muslim majority. | | | Christians and Jews could practice their religion, but not too visibly. | | | If a Christian Women married a Muslim man, the children would be raised as Muslims, and a Christian man could only marry Muslim women if he converted beforehand. |

| | Dhimmi Watch: Arab Christian longs for dhimmitude |
| | While Arab nationalism was not anti-religious in its secularism, it was always emphatic in acknowledging the equality of Christians and Muslims, and the need to leave religion to the spiritual sphere. | | | One of the tenets of that movement has always been setting aside religion as a matter of personal choice and insisting on equal responsibility of Christians and Muslims in the national enterprise. | | | Not only among Arabs, but also in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Sudan... |
