[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not “surprised” by you being an Arab and a Christian, I’ve just never met an Arab who was a Christian before. And I know a lot of people who are from or whose families are from the Middle East, as I have worked at three different universities. So it wouldn’t be a total shock, you would just be the first Arab who is also a Christian that I have personally met. [/quote] There are many Christians who fled here from Arab lands because of persecution. However they’ll identify as their specific ethnicity to distance themselves from the Arabs who oppressed them drove them out. As pointed out upthread, this includes Armenians, Copts, Chaldeans, Assyrians, Syriacs, etc. Simply coming from a land dominated by Arabs, where the lingua franca is Arabic does not make one an Arab.[/quote]
