There are three general terms for Christians in the Arab World.
Nesara (نصارى), meaning "Supporters" in that they are the Supporters of Jesus and his claim to be the Messiah.
Mesihiyun (مسيحيون), meaning "Messiah-ists" in that they follow the Messiah.
ad-Daalin (الضالين), meaning "the Astray", in that they are misguided for believing in Christ when they should accept the Qur'an and become Muslims. Naturally, this term is seen as derisive and inflammatory by most Christians.
