I think Egypt, since I think they are by far the largest Arab Country. It's funny that they are not first ones we think about--mainly due to media and the wars the US has been involved in.

I think of Iraq first since that country is in the spotlight all the time. Then Saudi Arabia.

One thing is Islam and another Arab countries.

Arab countries: Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Yemen, Emirates and Lebanon.

Arab is an ethnicity. There are muslims in Asia, Africa and Europe and they are not arabs, and there are people from arab countries that are christians and they are arabs.

Ditto. I think of the countries in the Arabian peninsula as being the most *truly* Arab and the ones in the Levant and Northern Africa more being "Arabized" but with other substratic influences.
