I used to work with a man who emigrated from Lebanon. Because of all of the bad publicity about Arabs, he considered himself Phoenician.

Whether accepted or not. For millions the only Bible is the Arabic Bible, where the only glorious name is that of A L L A H .. used thousands of time. They love Allah, pray to Allah, worship Allah. This glorious Name is traceable since The Holy Prophet Abraham (in Arabic: Ibraheem). Every Holy Messenger spoke to his audience in the vernacular they understood. Arabic is the closest to the language spoken by mylord Jesus. The distant cousin is Hebrew, in which the words of mylord were 'translated' with consonants (without vowels) only; so there are variations in the text and in the meanings. Result: 12 different Bibles existing today. Not only the Lebanese, but several other nonMuslim Arab communities exist and flourish in the Arabic speaking world.

I would say a very borderline yes. Many Lebanese are more European than Arab, and Lebanon is, technically, not on the Arabian Peninsula. Although most are of Arab descent.

My ex is an American of Lebanese Christian descent, and he considers his family Arabs.

This just shows how ignorant you are about the rest of the world! Stop following CNN, Fox news and other propaganda media that you have in the USA controlled by the government and travel and seek out authentic sources and learn.

It is for them to decide who they are. It is for the world to see which side are they on.
