Says the guy who thinks every Middle eastern is an Arab because they carry same haplogroup, lol.
You are completely clueless and you were exposed as a clueless foreigner in my interaction with you in this thread for everyone to see. Now you are inventing lies out of nowhere and inventing empty claims that I have never wrote. Stick to your artificial creation (India), one of the most diverse regions of the world, and stick to pathetically claiming that Pakistanis and Indians are the same when everything points to the opposite.
You have still not dared to mention what your ethnicity is or where you are from in India. Just another of the recent false-flaggers on PDF.
In ME (and even in South Asia), religion trumps ethnic affiliations, otherwise why the Mizrahi Jews were expelled in first place? Ben Gurion was interested in an "Ashkenazi only" state initially.
No, it does not. Arab Christians identify with an Arab identity in Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Iraq. They are ethnic Arabs as well. There are Christian Arabs of a Bedouins stock even in Jordan. Copts identify with Egyptians as well and not as some separate entity devoid of any connection to other Egyptians or Egypt.
Some of the most well-known and influential political pan-Arabists in the Arab world were Christian Arabs. Some of the most respected Palestinian freedom fighters were Christians as well.
Some of the most respected pre-Islamic Arab poets and historical figures, kings, male and female monarchs alike, were Christian Arabs.
Christianity and Judaism are native and fellow Abrahamic (Semitic) religions native to the Arab world. They are not considered as "foreign" religions by Arabs. Those minorities were never harmed historically and always lived peacefully under various Arab Islamic governments overall. The decrease in numbers is due to lower fertility rates and RECENT conflicts that were imposed on the region from the outside, take the successive mess in Iraq in the past many decades.
Arab Christians in stable countries such as Jordan don't face those challenges. Nor Christians in Palestine.
And there is something called a religious identity and an ethnic identity. National identity. Family/clan/tribal identity. Identity based on your profession. Political views.
Only simpletons that have no clue about this region, people like you, no offense, will make absurd claims of religion being the sole identity marker of the Middle East. If that was the case we would all live in one single national state.
