Weekly Written Analysis 3

In this week analysis, I am going to address a very common stereotype that most people worldwide associate with Arabs. Basically, for most people Arabs are Muslims and Muslims are Arabs. I will try to focus on explaining this stereotype.
First of all, Arabs and Muslim live pretty much all over the world. In an Arabic country such as Egypt for example, 10% of its citizens are Arab Christians. The same in Lebanon, most of the population are Christian Arabs. In Morocco and Oman for example, there is a minority of Arab Hebrews. What I am trying to say is that not every Arab is Muslim.
In other hand, through the media, we are very familiar that countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Indonesia and China have a big majority of Muslims; however all of them are none of Arabic origins. Islam is a religion; anybody anywhere in the world is free to join any religious group he/she wants. An individual if convinced by the ritual and concept of the Islamic religion have the right to join Islam and adopted it as a religion. As a result, a non Arab can be found Muslim by choice of faith.
Moreover, being an Arab is more biological related than a personal choice. No one choose his/her race. One can be born in an Arabian society with an Arabian father or mother. Truthfully, a child is coined as an Arabian if and only if the father is Arabian. Otherwise, the child will have Arabian origins but labeled on his/her father race.
Also, when the child is born it is up to the parent to decide on the religion he/she will be following. If the father is Muslim and the mom is Christian for example, it will still be up to the parent to lean on one believe and avoid confusing the child. It is a decision that the parent need to take prior having children. Sometimes, the child can grow and decide to not follow the religion of the parent. At this point, the person is going in a journey seeking believes and peace of the heart.
Arabs can falsely be stereotype by Muslim. Not all the Arabs are Muslims while not all the Muslims are Arabs.
