How does Arabization differ from being born an Arab?
Arabs, Turks, Magyars (Hungarians), and numerous other ethnic groups are not actually homogeneous. They are composed of two historical groups that intermarried and created a unified culture.In the Arab case, it is critical to split the people from Arabia who are "genetically Arab" from the peoples of the Levant, Mesopotamia, and Northern Africa who would be conquered by the Arabs. After conquest, those Levantines, Mesopotamians, and North Africans who converted to Islam began to take on the same mannerisms as the foreign Arabs who had conquered them. They began to speak the same language, dress in the same clothes, and believe in the same general ideologies. This process is well-documented by Arabs and is called Arabization or Ta3arib (تعريب). This is why the Jews and the Christians of the Upper Middle East (the Levant and Mesopotamia) often do not consider themselves Arabs. Unlike their Levantine brothers whose conversion to Islam made them more susceptible to Arabization, they retained their pre-Arabized ethnic sensibility. Conversely, those groups that converted to Islam, but did not speak Arabic, like the Turks, Kurds, Persians, and Amazigh/Berbers were not Arabized.Most "Arabs" today are actually the descendants of Arabized Levantines, Mesopotamians, and North Africans as opposed to the genetic descendants of the people from the Arabian Peninsula.
What ethnic group is the majority group found in North Africa and Middle East?
Arabs. However, it is worth noting that Arabs and numerous other ethnic groups are not actually homogenous. They are composed of two historical groups that intermarried and created a unified culture. In the Arab case, Arab nomads from Arabia conquered the Levant region, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and North Africa and brought those territories under their rule. During that period, those Native Peoples who converted to Islam began to take on the same mannerisms as the foreign Arabs who had conquered them. They began to speak the same language, dress in the same clothes, and believe in the same general ideologies. This process is well-documented by Arabs and is called Arabization or Ta3arib (تعريب). This is why the Jews and the Christians of the Upper Middle East (the Levant and Mesopotamia) often do not consider themselves Arabs. Unlike their brethren whose conversion to Islam made them more susceptible to Arabization, they retained their pre-Arabized ethnic sensibility. Therefore, although many Middle Easterners call themselves Arabs, the majority do not and should not have lineages that go back to Arabia, but to pre-Arab ancestors in the Middle East and North Africa, likely Jews, Christians, and Pagans in the Byzantine Empire.
How did Islam helped spread Arabic culture?
Islam was usually transmitted with a number of Arab cultural norms, such as the Arabic language, Arab merchantry, Arab values, Arab clothing, Arab artistry, and Arab social organization (tribalism). This modified most of the cultures under Arab hegemony and, in the case of the North African Amazigh, the Egyptian Copts, the Phoenicians, Arameans, Assyrians, Babylonians, and the Judeans, it led to such an erosion of their indigenous culture, that those among them that converted to Islam were said to have performed "Ta3arib" (تعريب) or Arabization. In the case of Spain, northern Spaniards noted how Christians in southern Spain took on many of these Arab affectations and called them mozárabes, which is the corruption of the Arabic "most3arab" (مستعرب) which is a derivative of "Ta3arib".
How did Arabs adapt to their environment?
many arabs in the sixth century lived in towns and villages. others however were nomads. arab nomads (also called bedouins) migrated through the desert raising sheep, goat and cammel. they moved when animals ate all vegetation. camels where the "cars" of the ancient times, so they used those 2 travel. animals provided wool for clothing,blankets,tents, and leather hides. they also made cheese yogurt and sometimes ate meat. for other items such as weapons/ grains they traded animal products (wool,hide,blankets,clothing etc.) _signed BOOTS

(The Turks "Turk-ified" the formerly Byzantine population of central Anatolia and most of modern Turkey and had some effect elsewhere in the Balkans. The Magyars made the sedentary population of the Hungarian Empire into Hungarians through conversion to the Catholic Church and the proliferation of the Hungarian Language and customs.)
