No. The Semites include the ancient Assyrians, Elamites, Arameans, Lyddians, and other Semitic peoples. One group of Semites gave rise to the Arabs, Hebrews, Moabites, Ammonites, Edumeans and others.
What present days countries are located in ancient Canaan?
In early biblical times Canaan included the area that now includes Israel, the Palestinian territorities, Lebanon and western Syria. However, with the arrival of the Philistines around 1200 BCE, the coastal strip from Egypt north to approximately the location of modern Tel Aviv was excised from Canaan as Philistia. The also depends on how broadly we define the term Canaanite. Some would define all West Semitic people as Canaanites. Under a broad definition, the Moabites and Edomites of western Jordan could be classified as Canaanites, although the Bible does not appear to regard them as such.
How did the military strength of the Israelite kingdoms compared to their neighboring enemies?
The military strength of the Israelite kingdoms, particularly during the united monarchy under Saul, David, and Solomon, was formidable but varied over time. They had well-organized armies and significant resources, especially during David's reign, which allowed for successful campaigns against neighboring enemies such as the Philistines and Moabites. However, as the kingdoms of Israel and Judah faced internal divisions and external threats from more powerful empires like the Assyrians and Babylonians, their military strength waned in comparison. Ultimately, while the Israelite kingdoms were competitive at their peak, they struggled against larger, more centralized powers in the region.
Why is the Mesha Stele historically important?
The Mesha Stele (or Moabite Stone) is the first documented inscription that mentions the House of David in Israel. This stone commemorates the victory of King Mesha of the Moabites over the House of Omri (King Omri) of Israel in 840 or 850 B.C. (exact dating has not been agreed upon). It makes the first reference to the tetragrammaton for God, which in Hebrew is YHWH (or Yahweh, also meaning Jehovah, in its Latinized version). Interestingly, YHWH was used in the proto-Hebraic Phoenician language. Thus, YHWH was inscribed even before Hebrew became a language in its own right. Just as the word, "Amen", was derived from Ancient Egyptian (also predating the Hebrew of the Old Testament) there are many words, stories and metaphors in the Bible which came before Israel even existed.

Are Moabites Muslim?
Moab, Israel and Judah were three of the small independent West Semitic states to arise around the same time, following the decline of the Canaanite city-states.

The Bible talks of a common bond between the people of the northern Hebrew kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah, but this bond is not evident with the Moabites.
