"So, are there more Moslems over there than there are Arabs? And when I see someone with a turban on his head, should I assume he is a Moslem, but not necessarily an Arab? Or is the turban an Arab thing?" Sikh's wear turbans, too, so not all people who wear turbans are Arabs (or Muslims). A large part of Africa is Islamic as well, yet Africans aren't generally considered to be Arabs. Moreover, not all Arabs are Muslims. Some are druise and others are Christian. Confused yet? Don't worry, so are they.

Here is a great link on
Understanding Turbans that covers many different groups that wear turbans. Great graphics.

"Sikh's wear turbans, too,..." If you observe a Sikh turban closely you'll see it is a bit different than the type you see on OSB's head or other Muslims.

African muslems call themselfs Arabs not african. I am not talking about the nation of islam people more of the regular arab sects that convert people at the point of a gun.
