It was largely pagan.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.\n\nBy the fourth century AD, the Arab kingdoms of the Lakhmids in southern Iraq and Ghassanids in southern Syria had emerged just south of the Fertile Crescent and ended up allying respectively with the Sassanid and Byzantine Empires. Thus they were constantly at war with each other on behalf of their imperial patrons. However, their courts were responsible for some notable examples of pre-Islamic Arabic poetry, and for some of the few surviving pre-Islamic Arabic inscriptions in the Arabic alphabet. The Lakhmid kingdom was dissolved by the Sassanids in 602, while the Ghassanids would hold out until engulfed by the expansion of Islam. Mecca was conquered by the Quraysh around 500CE and was already a religious centre.\n\nThere was a split between the Arabs who lived in towns near oasis growing dates and supplying trade caravans and the Bedouin who lived as nomadic pastoralists. This split still exists in Arab culture today.

The Darfur Conflict is an ongoing conflict in the Darfur region of western Sudan, mainly between the Janjaweed, a militia group recruited from local Arab tribes, and the non-Arab peoples of the region. It is strongly believed that the Sudanese government supports the militia group, though it has strongly denied this. The conflict began in February 2003.\n\nThe listed source link will give you all the ws, the how, and the to what extent.

I am the original "black Hebrew" of the tribe Yahudah.\n\n\nBlack People in Africa are Africans of what ever tribe they belong to. A black Hebrew is different then a black African. They are call the original Hebrews, because they are from one of the tribes of Yisrael. Which means they are the seed of Israel. You can be black, and NOT be what we call "Africans."\n\nNot to be confuse with "black Jews" or the people we know today as Jews. If you ask any Jew why he is a Jew, they will say because there religion is Judaism or someone in the ancestry converted to Judaism. If you notice none of them will stay they are descendants of the tribe of Judah, which is what the word Jew means. Just because you practice the religion or your parents did, doesn't make you a seed of Jacob. The black Hebrews are in fact the direct descendants of the Israelites, but not all black nations are Israelites. It just happen that many of the Israelites happen to be black.\n\nDon't think that because they are black, that it automatically means they can't be Israelites.

Arabs are the last people to make up a league among themselves. I will cut my throat if someone proves that an arabic alliance worked for Arabs at some time in history...

Politically, it is more Middle Eastern than African, because of the many diplomatic liaisions it has with other Arabic nations and Israel.\n\nThe Middle East is iconically seen as Arab(ian) so that is why Egypt is often classed as Middle Eastern, as it is also part of the Arab world. However, it is probably the only Arab-African nation, classified as in the Middle East, because of geographic location.

Well, Arabs are more than 400,000 millions (more than US population). Muslims are more than 1.5 Billion (one of every four on earth). If one of them is Bad like Bin Ladin, it is unfare to say all others are bad I guess.   \nIt is like saying all Europeans are bad becasue of Hitler!

The Arabs are good and deeply loyal to their principles of fanaticism.  It is very hard to crack into the people and their belief.

Interesting.  No one yet said that Arabs are merely anti-semitic.  They are Semites themselves but that had never stopped anyone.  \nHow long it took us and what we had to fight and how we had to fight, to finally establish that there was a people, my parents among them, the Palestinians who lived where Israel was formed.  Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived in relative peace for thousands of years in Palestine, before Israel was formed.  Israel and its lovers choose to either spend a lot of time denying that there was a Palestinian people, or saying that no one kicked those Palestinians out of there.  \nYes, at the end of WWII, the Jews felt that they needed a country where they would be safe.  The allies riddled with guilt about the holocaust, contemplated a few options, then decided on Palestine.  Here are a few facts, to compel the myths you hear to dispute the original injustice committed against the Palestinians.  1. There was a country called Palestine for thousands of years in what is now Israel.  2. There was a nation there, and hundred of thousands of Palestinians.  It was not as the zionists (creators of Israel) put it, "a land without people for a people without land."  3. Nor were the Palestinians a bunch of nomad Arabs.  They are Arabs, they are Palestinian Arabs.  Just like the Jordanians, the Syrians, etc... their being Arab does not strip them of their particular Arab nationality.  They were rooted in Palestine, many in urban settings, even if a few Bedouins by the West Bank, crossed over often in what is now Jordan.  4. Nor did the Palestinians either sell their property to the thousands of Jews flocking into Palestine, nor did they run off.  5. The zionists waged a meticulously planned unforeseen war with massacres against the Palestinian people to evict them from Palestine.  The word terrorist was first used by the British for those zionists groups that went around killing Palestinians throughout Palestine.  \nAnd the Jews kept coming from everywhere, and the Palestinians kept getting forced out.  The West then pressured the Zionists to stop and the Zionists offered half of Palestine to the Palestinians.  How grand.  The Palestinians refused.  To this day, the now baptized Israelis want more land with less Arabs on it.  Palestinians for the large part want what is justifiably theirs.  The Palestinian Diaspora has been very successful as individuals wherever they went.  Palestinians were a highly educated group of people.  They knew, however, that pressing for their identity and speaking for their nation, had to become the sole purpose of their life, and would inconvience their host nations.  So, quite a few of them, resigned themselves to living quietly as residents, eventually, citizens of their host country.  Israel was there to stay, said the Western World, never mind how it was built.  Israel would be supported blindly and generously by the new superpower, America (true?  why?  Not to be discussed here).  \nBut a lot of Palestinians had remained in Palestine.  And no one counted on the Palestinians who stayed to actually have the perseverence and patriotic dedication they showed.  And a lot of Palestinians who did take other nationalities still spoke up for Palestine at the cost of putting up with discrmination.  \nInitially, the world stood with them, few countries recognized Israel.  The Zionists attributed it to anti-semitism, shaming the countries that condemned Israel.  It so happens, the Jews did wrong in Palestine but there was and had been horrific anti-semitism for the Jews to play upon.  Gradually, since 1948, and with a lot of growing influence over the world, the Zionists saw that the majority of the world recognizes the right of Israel to exist.  \nIn the meantime, the Palestinians who either remained in Palestine or lived scattered in refugee camps got poorer and poorer.  Their resources to fight were being destroyed.  Gradually, they turned to brutal violence to be heard.  Gradu

I asked this question recently myself. I have faith that they are out there, and we will see them someday. Some of the blood of these tribes probably got mixed with regular people. There is some evidence of this with Africans, particularly Ethiopia.

All Arabs are not Muslims. Technically Israel is also in Arabia. \nA letter from Iraq recently told ..."they are putting Saddam on trial for killing about 242 Kurds, the daily death toll of Iraqis and other coalition personnel in the past years have arisen and thousands are being killed. I also wonder when the weapons of mass destruction were not found, what moral authority US president had to declare war on Iraqi people? Is this about terrorism by Americans to monopolies oil and gas rich Arab countries? Who will account for the thousands of innocent deaths when US planes 'carpet bombed' the Iraqis knowing that even their favorite target, Laden is not hiding there..." \nIts questions like this which are haunting the people in Iraq, and there are Christians as well in Arabia. Like anywhere else.

first of all, who wants to know? i mean where are you from?\n\nSecond: Arabs? hmmmm, let me see. I see them as people just like we are. All people from all over the world are the same i guess. the differences exist as a result of different cultures, civilizations, scientific researches and alot of other things put together. give someone a chance to learn, study and do experements and you will have a scientist like Ahmed Zoweil. deprive someone everything and you will have a criminal, a terorist, or just another poor helpless man. yet, there might be something i like about arabs actually that we lack these days, which is family bondage. might sound strange to our society here, but i like the idea of family living together and caring the way they do. also, i like the idea that ladies normally stay virgins untill they meet the right guy or even get married. so, i guess all what i like about them is social rather than else. i like oriental music as well. mmmmmm,,,,, what do you all think about this?\n\nAngel
