Does 'Islamic Democracy' Exist? (this wbs blow asks,) then i ask them first, Why is Islam associating with Arabs?
It seems that most does not get that these two are heaven and earth, according to the static that most Muslim leaves outside Arabia peninsula but we are still called Arabs for some reasons and on the other reason we will be calling Muslim.
I just can’t get these contemplations.

Islam = the religion.
Muslim = the person who practices islam.
Islam originated from the Arabs and when they spread their religion in many parts of the world, people followed it. As a result, islam/ muslims tend to be associated with the Arabs. There is a difference of course as you rightly stated because some one can be a muslim without being an Arab. It's just like when people say 'I've just came from Africa' or something like that and when asked which country in Africa did you just came from, they said E.g The Gambia. They failed to understand that Africa is a continent and not a country. |

Just to deviate a little bit Tamsier,you said
"They failed to understand that Africa is a continent and not a country."
I totally agree with that statement, I think that this is the main reason why Africa has not been consumed by other cultures simply because people from Africa consider themselves as a people from that continent,they do not consider as a priority that they are from Gambia or Mali or any other African nation ,which have been drawn up by those who have enslaved the continent and its peoples in the past and drawn lines on a map because it makes things administrativly easier.THEY are Africans first.
