Arab Muslims are a diverse group of Arabic-speaking peoples who are adherents of Islam and identify Muslim Arabs. Arabs can be defined narrowly as people who descend from certain ancient tribes that inhabited the Arabian Peninsula, or broadly in a pan-ethnic sense to include any people who have been Arabized, identify as Arabs, participate in Arab culture, or speaks the Arabic language. Arab Muslims greatly outnumber other linguistic and religious groups in the Middle East. Arab Muslims comprise a majority of the population in Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Tunisia, and Yemen. Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco are mistakenly considered Arab-only countries, whereas they also contain Amazigh, minority natives of those countries. Not all citizens of Arab-Muslim majority countries identify as Arab Muslims; many Arabs are non-Muslim and many Muslims are of non-Arab ethnicity. Arab Muslims form the largest ethno-linguistic group among Muslims in the world, followed by Bengalis, Punjabis, and Javanese.
