Yes. Arabs are a Semitic people.

However, the use of the term "Anti-Semite" refers exclusively to Jews. There is no term for someone who hates all Middle Easterners.

Why do Arabs are different than others . Or aren't they?

I am not entirely sure what you are asking, but there are similarities and differences in all racial groups. Asians, Caucasians, Semites, and what used to be called Negroes are all different in their skin color or their facial features (their eyes, or their lips, for example). Thus, Arabs, who are Semites, look different from, let's say, Asians. The subject of Anthropology delves into these differences and studies how people in different cultures live. But if you are asking why Arabs are treated differently, it depends on the country. Some countries have prejudice against people who look different or come from a different country or practice a different religion. And it should also be said that Arabs, like any other group, are human beings who are worthy of respect and compassion. All human groups, no matter what their race or religion, share a need for family, a means of making a living, sufficient food, and security.


What is the difference between Muslims and Arabs?

Simple AnswerMuslims are peoples that follow the religion of Islam.Arab represents the ethnicity of the peoples originally lived in Arabia and now live across the Middle East and North Africa.It is important to note that only 23% of Muslims are Arabs, but 90% of Arabs are Muslims.More Complex AnswerMuslimsA person is considered to be Muslim if he testifies that: "there is no God besides Allah, and Mohammed is the messenger, servant and prophet of Allah."There are a varieties of sects and schools in Islam such as Sunnis, Shiites, Ibadis, and marginal or heretical sects.Muslims are followers of the religion of Islam. There are many Muslims who are not Arabs - there are Muslim Indonesians, Muslim Chinese, and Muslim Americans. The vast majority of Muslims (over 75%) are not Arabs and many more of them are South Asians (like Pakistanis, Indians, and Bengalis).ArabsArabs are people of the Middle East that are united by a common language: Arabic, and a common history: the Islamic Caliphates. Arabs are not necessarily of the same ethnic stock and in many cases are of mixed heritage due to intermarriage between the Arabs coming up from the Arabian Peninsula and indigenous Semites and Berbers. Not all Arabs are Muslim, but all Arabs have (in their history) spent time under an Islamic government. 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.

What is the morphology of anti-semitism?

It was coined by Wilhelm Marr in 1873 as a more "scientific" way of describing Judenhass (Jew-hatred). It was based on the idea that Jews are Semites as opposed to Germanic peoples and it was this biological difference that made Jews "incompatible" with German society.It is worth noting that Marr was not thinking about non-Jewish Semites, like Arabs, when he coined the term. He was using to specifically refer to Jews.
