Revision as of 23:29, 23 December 2002
There is a "user page" with basically the same content but reworded and Ibrahim for the patriarch's name. If a contributory wants to take the user name Arab, I have no problem with that, but let's not confuse a user page with an article page. Ed Poor, Wednesday, April 10, 2002
The following text was moved from user:Arab because it seems more like it applies to the Arab article than to a Misplaced Pages contributor. Ed Poor
Arab (noun) - descibes a person of Arabic descent.
Historically, an Arab is descendant from one of two sons of the Prophet Ibrahim. The other son's linage is claimed by the Jews
Haisam - please don't copy and paste that text from again - that page is copyrighted, and so we can't reproduce it here. See Misplaced Pages:Copyrights. You're free to weave in the info on that page of course, but you have to do it in an original way, rather than simply copying it across. --Camembert

Mr. Ido:
I am not quite clear as to what you are asking. You are free to used the ADC definition. It is the ordinary agreed on definition. An Arab is someone whose primary language is Arabic, who shares in the common culture and history of the Arab world.
