i mean the body, the face and etc..

if you compare with somali it make you more confuse who are the pure arabs? is it from syam or from hejaz? or maybe from other place?

if they are not a pure arabs, so from where they get mixed?

  1. Lebanon isn't an Arab country its  a liberal country that you can go where ever you wont do what ever you wont and nobody can stop you,Lebanon is  Freedom ....


  2. i agree with greekbarbie

  3. We're different because we're not Arab.

  4. whatever

  5. Well I guess as some have already said , it gets down to a choice in the end ..

    My bloodline is crazy....Anglo , Armenian , Lebanese  , born in the UK &  living in Australia .

    One cannot deny a heritage which is defined by race , nationality & creed .

    The fact that I live in this category should give you a clue as to what my personal choice is..

  6. they are all arabs,only in morocco,we have many colors

    i think that it depends where u live

    if u live in saoudia where it s almost always 100 degrees,of course you will be kind of dark,than people in lebanon where it s cold

    we are all arabs

  7. There are 2 reasons: Genetics and Climate.

    1. Before the Arab invasion, Syria among with the surrounding countries were different Semetic tribes speaking various Semetic languages, when the Arabs came around the 6th century, the previous Semitic tribes didnt genetically just disappear but rather mix with the invading Arab population. Because of this, some can still be pure and not mixed with then invading Arabs, some of them can be mixed, and some of them can be  pure Arabs, and some of them can be even mixed with some Crusades.

    2. The climate around Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine is colder compared to the very hot Gulf area. The colder the climate the more Vitamin D your body produces, and therefore your skin appears lighter. Its the same reason why most mainland Greeks are whiter than island Greeks, why Northern Italians are whiter than Southern ones, why Northern Slavs like Russians are lighter than Southern Slavs above Greece, why Northern Indians are lighter than Southern ones.. etc. the list can go on and on ... really.

  8. We come in all kind of shades, you can also find us in rainbow colours in some selected outlets.

    On a more serious note: Being Arab is not a skin colour or a race, it's an identity.

  9. we're just cool like that ...

  10. Because being arab now is more of a cultural thing more than a ethnic group pure arabs would probably only be found in saudi arabia,uae,quatar,bahrain the rest of the arab nations were simply absorbed by the arab culture and islam,north africa is mostly arab\berber lebanon arab/phoenecian.
