What a discussion!!!
Are we Arabs or not!!!
At first what do we understand with being Arabs?
Camels?
Islam?
Deshdesh?

My opinion is: “Lubnan fakher al 3ouroubi!!
Maneste7i bi 7elna, heda fakher elna!”

If we are not Arabs, what are we? For sure not a Phoenician?
Because the native in the south were Jew, in Beka3 are Roman in the Mountains were Souryan! Phoenicians were only on the coast and from more than 2000 years! After the Phoenicians came more that seven civilizations.
We can not specify exactly what we are, but nowadays, we speak Arabic we act like Arabs (Karam, Sharaf, Ser3it al infi3el…). What do you think?

If somebody can give me an answer to this question I’ll admit that we are not Arabs:
“The citizen of the United States of America, what are they? Americas?”


Ne7na Arab! Sharef w Fakher al Arab! Ne7na asel al 3ouroubi! Ne7na 7adarit al Arab!
Aham shi, Ne7na Lebneniyi!!!

I'm also living Europe, in Germany, I have the same problem! Most of the time, they make this mistake. But it’s a “PROBLEM & MISTAKE”
It’s neither a fact nor a truth!
Only if you admit it, it will be a truth!
As long as we speak Arabic, we will be considered as Arabs. Changing the language is totally impossible because we will lead to a new war: English vs. French! So the best solution, solving this PROBLEM and clearing this MISTAKE, is to convince OURSELVES and the West that Terrorists, Arabs and Muslims are not synonyms.

What do you think?

With all due respect u have just given the most ridiculous argument ever. You said it urself that how can we be arab if more than one civilization came to our land the arabs being one of those. We're a mixutre of people, and that mixture is Lebanese.
