I've been getting alot of questions about what can be officially considered "Arab" on the glorious day of days. This is what I've come up with (suggestions are welcome).
1. Anyone who decends, either in part or in whole, from a Middle Eastern country.
2. Middle Eastern countries include: Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, Saudi, Yemen, Syria, Jordan, UAE, Lebanon, Palestine, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain.
3. You may also be considered arab if you have lived in an arab country for 10 years or more.
Word of advice: Don't take it too seriously. I know us arabs tend to get really angry and defensive but loosen the turban! In the words of Ari Gold (yes i realize he's jewish): Hug it out!
*UPDATE: Ok after much lobbying we're going to go ahead and include Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya, and Northern Sudan to the list.
*UPDATE: Ok, Iranians...you've won. No hugs for you!
