There is no need to assert this identity, but some people and political parties find it works as a common rallying point since the overwhelming majority of people in the Arab World are Arabs and Muslims. It provides a common system of ethics, a common historical narrative, and is very reassuring.

The major problem with it, though, is that it excludes Mawali (Non-Arab Muslims) like the Sunni Kurds, Circassians, and Amazigh, it excludes Arab Non-Muslims like the Egyptian Copts, the Mizrahi Jews, the Lebanese Maronites, and the Druze, and it excludes the Non-Arab Non-Muslims like the Armenians, Assyrians, Yazidi Kurds, and the Baha'i. Those who wish to include these minority groups typically advocate for Secular Nationalism, which would unite people based on whether they are "Egyptian" or "Libyan" and not based on whether they are Arab Muslims or not.
