I'm surprised the mass and wholly significant Yemenite (mostly Hadrami) emigration to various parts of Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore isn't mentioned in this article...it brought a very distinct Arab facet into these already very rich cultures. -Mokha24.18.249.133 23:49, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

american bias

its probably because the article was written by an arab american of some sort thats why all of the material is about the americas. per centage wise there is a much more huge population of arabs in europe, yet theres almost no mention of it.

The entire 'Challenges' section

I have a very large problem with sentences like:

First: Suspicion of Arabs and Muslims has reached almost a paranoid proportion. Racism towards Arabs has reached new heights.

At the very least I would expect several citations of such instances linked to (I doubt it would be hard to find them) and a statistical analysis that it had indeed reached 'new heights'. It needs a geographical restriction (I presume there is none of this suspicion in, for example, Saudi Arabia). The nature and perpetrators of the suspicion also needs to be elaborated on and supported by evidence.

I suspect whosoever edited the section had genuine intentions but this is an encyclopedia and it needs to be backed up. Can someone add a tag? I am not sure which one it should have but it is obvious that this section is not up to standard.

The 'Second', 'Third' and 'Fourth' points are just drivel.

the first section

the first section of this article must be divided to branches with the head of the group name or nationality coz its doesnt look organized at all, i think its better if will be like the Arabic page.
