Why do people have a problem with Jesus being an Arab?

Question

First off Arab is a race not a religion. Second the people from Israel were Arabs yes they were also Jews but Many Jews are Arabs. There is no race of Jewish jews come in all different shapes and sizes well generally smaller sizes but still he probably shares the same ethnic group as many dopes like to vilify.

Once again Arab is a race not a religon. Yes he was Jewish but he was also an Arab.

Me I like how you get 5 thumbs up for probably the dumbest statement ever made.

Answer 1

I never had a problem with His ethnicity. And the ethnicity of the terrorists is irrelivent, too.

The Islamic extremists we "villify" ARE villians. They want to kill as many people as possible. WHO CARES if they happen to look much like Jesus did?

Answer 2

The people from Israel were not Arabs. Arabs come from Saudi Arabia. They later spread into Israel, but not until after Jesus was born.

The people from Israel were of the Jewish ethnicity (ethnicities are like races, only they're smaller groups). Jews are both an ethnicity and a religion. Some members of the Jewish ethnicity are not of the Jewish religion, and some members of the Jewish religion are not of the Jewish ethnicity. But there is a LOT of overlap.

Like islam_delenda_est said, the Bible says that the Jewish ethnicity are people who were descended from Abraham's son Isaac, and the Arab ethnicity are people who were descended from Abraham's son Ishmael.

Answer 3

Although Judaism is a religion the Jewish people are also a race of people. Now whether Jesus was an Arab or not, who cares.

Answer 4

no, first off, what people have a problem with jesus being an arab,..second off, we know that arabs are a people,..third off, your second has some truth to it, just to clarify there are russian jews, american jews and so forth depending on where they were born,..stay with me, buck,..both the arabs and the jews are the sons of abraham,..ishmael the son of the bondwoman, hagar, became the father of the twelve princes (twelve arab nations), nebajoth, kedar, adbeel, mibsam, mishma, dumah, massa, hadar, tema, jetur, naphish and kedemah and they dwelt from havilah to shur, before egypt towards assyria,..so we must match those twelve with a western map b/c some arab maps do not show israel, for some odd reason,.. and isaac the son of the promise bore jacob who became israel and he bore the twelve tribes and their land is the land of canaan,..fourth off, if anything, since both the jews and arabs came from abraham, they are more likely to be hebrews than anything, we can save that for later,..fifth off, haran is where abraham first left his father's house and country,..sixth off, jesus was conceived of the holy ghost to a jewish maiden (virgin), mary, i believe you, even you may have heard of her, through the line of king david, so, jesus was born a jew,..

Answer 5

Its the simple fact that Arab are now terrorists. Some SAUDIS attack the trade center and everyone that has brown skin becomes a terrorist. Associating the Christian faith with terrorism is too much for some people to handle.

Answer 6

I doubt that the Israelites would take kindly to being called Arabs.

Answer 7

There are no pictures of Jesus, and only informed speculation of which ethnic group he was from...so I guess the question is moot.

Answer 8

"Jewish" is NOT a race, it is a religion. You could be a Jew if you converted....

Most Christians can't stand the fact that Jesus was an Ethiopian and that he was born with dark skin, dark eyes and hair. They can't stand the fact that he wasn't lilly white. Their god has told them that they are made in the image of him.....and Jesus being the son of god is dark skinned. It just pi**es them off.

They can't stand that the Caucasian race is a minority in the world......

Answer 9

Anti-semitism.

I have seen Jesus usually portrayed as having light skin and light eyes.

Answer 10
