Arabs follow different religions; most are Muslims, but some are also Christians, Jews, Druze, Baha'i, Yazidi, and Zoroastrian.Someone can be called Arab when his nationality is from an Arab country or when his parents are Arabs (from the Arab countries).Therefore, you can divide "Arab" by the nationalities of these countries.There are "Saudi Arabs", "Yemeni Arabs", and "Moroccan Arabs", etc.Arab culture and language may be classified as Afro-Asiatic. Arabs mainly occupy lands in the Middle East, N. Africa & E. Africa, as well as the E. Mediterranean and parts of SW Asia. Islam originated in Arabia, so naturally many Arabs are Muslim, but not all.
