DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFTS IN ISLAM – The Dilution of the Arab Identity
Islam appears to be synonymous with Arabs, but such an assumption is to say the very least, highly inaccurate. Arabs might also appear as the majority of Muslims across the globe, but again this is incorrect. They only make up one fifth of all Muslims in the 21st century.
In fact, Arabs as a minority in Islam is far back dated. Arabs up to the middle of the 20th century when most gained their independence as nation states had also been a millennium removed from any rule of the Muslim empires.
So why does this impression still remain in the consciousness of all those who are not Muslim? That Arabs are the face of Islam.
