JK>What percentage of Arabs are not Muslim?
No idea. What percentage of Muslims are not
Arab? No idea but, *Iranians* are not Arab. A somewhat
important point. There are Arab Christians in many
countries (in Brazil, I
read, most of the 12 million Arabs are Christian).
And there many from "Muslim nationalities",
Arab or other, who are in effect lapsed Muslims (you may
or may not want to take them into account). Zinedine
Zidane may be the most famous right now (he calls himself
a non-practicing Muslim, he's married to a non-Muslim
who does not wear Muslim dress, none of their children
has a Muslim name).
Brigitte Gabriel, alleged expert on the Middle East, should
know better than to conflate Arabs and Muslims,
