Answer 2

Persian relates mostly to Iran...Iranians are not arab, they speak Farsi and arabic(as it relates to the Quran) however there are Jewish Iranians.

Arab is a person of arab decent who speaks arab.

Middle East is where most arabs come from. Countries such as Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Dubai,Syria and Israel are some parts of the middle east.

Muslim can be of any race, it doesnt pertain to a specific race, Muslim is a person that follows Islam and not a race. Arabs can be Muslims, Christians or even Jews.

Muslims can be Arab, African, Indian, Chinese, American, Puerto Rican, p**i, Turkish....e.t.c

Answer 3

Arabian or Arab is a race. They are found in countries such as Saudi Arabia. UAE, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and many more. They usually carry the image of living in the tents in desert with camels and all, but ofcourse this belongs to the olden ages.

Middle East is a region in Asia which has many of the Arabian and non Arabian countries in it. Such as Iran.

Persians are the original tribe that lived in Iran. Iran was previously called Persia because of them but later on when several different ethnic groups such as Arabs, Turks Kurds and many more migrated to  Persia they changed the name to Iran.

Muslim is a religion which is the major religion of several Asian countries and has followers in every part of the world

Answer 5

Muslim: the followers of the religion of Islam are Muslims. They are people of countries, different races, speaking different languages.

Middle Eastern: The Middle East is a region that stretches from Iran in western Asia to Egypt in eastern Africa. & From Turkey in the north to Yemen in the south. Some people include more countries that are located farther to the east or west. Anyways, people from the Middle East are also of several races, believe in different religions & speak different languages.

Arabs: are people who supposedly from Arabia & speak Arabic, but they had spread through the middle east & the whole world since the 7th century. So today Arabs are the citizens of Arabic countries & speak Arabic language.

Persians: are the people of Iran for the most part. Some people in Arabic or other countries can trace their ancestors to their Persian forefathers who migrated to the countries they now live in. So, the identify themselves as Persians.
