Arab is a linguistical and cultural label, not a race. For example, most north africans are genetically berber yet they are culturally arab and identify with the rest of arabs. Phenotipically they range from blond blue-eyed, to brown skinned and black eyed.

Arab= Arabian. Arabic is their main language and alot of arabs also speak other languages. Arabic can be spoken in diffrent "accents" and alot of words are diffrent from one country to another but it's all the same language. For example in the UK we say "Biscuit" in the USA they say "Cookie". Thats just a small example but yeah it's kinda like that a Iraqi might not understand everything a egyptian would say because of their accent.
Anyone who comes from the middle east and north Africa, alot of whom leave all around the world, but orginate from there.
Most of the population is Muslim but you can also get other relgions among Arabs e.g. Christians, Jews and some are ethicists but this is rare.
Warning, not all arabs are suicide bombers!
Seriously like no more than 100 that are alive today are planning to blow something up, and probablly won't anyway.

Arabs form a distinct yet diverse ethnic group, unified by the fact that most (although not all) speak one of the many dialects of the Arabic language. The majority of Arabs are Muslims, although many are Christians, and a small but growing number are atheists.
Countries in which the majority of the population are ethnically Arabs include Western Sahara, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Yemen, Oman and Kuwait.
There are also approximately 12 million Arabs in Brazil, 1.4 million in the State of Israel and 1.2 million in the USA. In the USA, only 24% of Arabs are Muslims, while 63% are Christians (most of the rest are nonreligious).
Only about 2% of the population of Iran are Arabs, with the majority of the population being Persians (who are completely different to Arabs). Less than 1% of the population of Afghanistan are Arabs, with the majority being Pashtuns (who are also completely different).
"French soccer player Zinedine Zidane is a Berber, not an Arab."
"Barack Obama is not, by any definition, an Arab. However, alternative candidate for US president Ralph Nader is an Arab. Not that such a fact should alter ones opinion of him."
