Arab Christians are people who are ethnically Arab or culturally and linguistically Arabized and who follow the religion of Christianity.
The majority of Christian Arabs live in the Middle East where, although Islam is undoubtedly the preponderant religion, significant religious minorities exist in a number of countries. The largest number of Arab Christians, whether in real numbers or in proportion to a country's population, are to be found in Egypt, Israel (as well as the Palestinian territories), Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Emigrant Arab communities throughout the Americas, especially among the Arab populations of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and the United States, are overwhelmingly Christian. In Brazil alone, Arabs number over 12 million and are mostly Christian.

Many of the Arabs in US are Christians. You won't really notice them, because they aren't wearing a hair covering/ long dress or a turban.
Also, many Arabs are turning to Christ right now because of the freedom to do so in previously closed nations to Christ.
Many of the Arabs of Northern Iraq/ Nineveh/ Asyria & lands around the Mediterranean sea, were of the early Christian Church. But they were sorely persecuted and martyred.

there are scads of Arab Christians! Many are Arab Catholics on top of that. a majority of those that came here to the US did so so they could worship in freedom.
there was a family who owned a gas station on the corner near my apartment back in the 90's. at Christmas he put up a Nativity scene. people complained and threatened to boycott if he didn't take it down. he said - fine don't come here. i eft my country to be able to rejoice in my Lord. people were lined up for blocks to support his station!

Arabs can be Christians just as much as Americans or any other culture can be Christians. It definitely is free will.
