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]

And France ?

No mention of France!!! It's a surprise! France is the second countrie in the world, after Brazil, to have the largest arab communities! There are 6.000.000 arabs in France that means 10 % of french population is arab or is from arab origin (mostly algerians like Zinedine Zidane), this is explained by the fact that Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia are former french colonies! It's important to mention France.86.70.90.104 (talk) 16:37, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Brazil does not have 15 million Arabs

Brazil is NOT 7% Arab, it is 0.7% Arab

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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abdullah Alkendy (talk • contribs) 22:25, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
