I can only repeat: those people are NOT ethnically or racially Arab, they are Turks, and in some cases, various combinations of the conquering Greeks, Romans, Turks and the subjugated Black Arabs, Egyptians, Persians etc. If anyone would care to do some reading, they will find that even those people will say that in common modern usage; Arab is a generic term encompassing all Muslims in the Middle East: Since the conquest by the Ottoman Turks and the subsequent subjugation by the Albanian Turks under Muhammad Ali, Arab ceased to be a nationalist or ethnic term. As an example, the official name for Egypt is the Arab republic of Egypt.
