Arab Muslims
Arab Muslims (Arabic: ﺍﻟْمُسْلِمﻴُّﻮﻥ ﺍﻟْﻌَﺮَﺏ al-Muslimiyyūn al-ʿArab) are the largest subdivision of the Arab people and the largest ethnic group among Muslims globally,[1] followed by Bengalis[2][3][4] and Punjabis.[5] Likewise, they comprise the majority of the population of the Arab world.[6][7]
Although Arabs account for the largest ethnicity among the world's adherents of Islam, they are a minority in the Muslim world in terms of sheer numbers. Muhammad, the founder of Islam, was an ethnic Arab belonging to the Banu Hashim of the Quraysh, and most of the early Muslims were also Arabs.
Diaspora[edit]
A substantial number of Arab Muslims live outside their countries of origin. Arab Muslims comprise the majority of the Arab populations in Belgium, France, Germany, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, the Netherlands, Turkey, and the United Kingdom, whilst Arab Christians are the majority of the Arab populations in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Greece, Haiti, Mexico, the United States, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Around a quarter of Arab Americans identify as Arab Muslims.[28]
