Best Answer

Arabic and Islamic are two different things. Arabic refers to a language spoke by Arab people and some non Arab moslem people. Islam is the religion whose sacred book is revealed to the prophet in Arabic Language. Islamic is an adjective given to things (and not to persons) such as Islamic Art. Moslem is the adjective given to a person whose religion is Isalm.

BIG NO!. Arab is an ethnicity and Islam is a religion.

There has been a common misconception with people not familiar with either Arabs or Muslims, in general terms the westerners. Islam is a religion of people ranging from Africans, Caucasian, Persian, South Asian, South-east Asian and of course Arabs. Arabs constitute about 10-15% of the followers of this religion. And the Prophet Mohammed was an Arab just like Jesus was a Semite. And the Prophet has emphatically stated that Islam belongs to no particular region/ethnicity but to entire humanity.

Among Arabs Islam has originated and it is followed by about 98 percent of the entire Arab community. There are communities of Arab Christian and Jewish religions as well.
