Arabs

Islam appears to be synonymous with Arabs, but such an assumption is to say the very least, highly inaccurate. Arabs might also appear as the majority of Muslims across the globe, but again this is incorrect. They only make up one fifth of all Muslims in the 21st century.

In fact, Arabs as a minority in Islam is far back dated. Arabs up to the middle of the 20th century when most gained their independence as nation states had also been a millennium removed from any rule of the Muslim empires.

So why does this impression still remain in the consciousness of all those who are not Muslim? That Arabs are the face of Islam.

Egyptian authorities must immediately release dozens of people arbitrarily detained and prosecuted on terrorism-related charges, solely for posting online content supporting calls for an end to President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s rule, Amnesty International said today. The crackdown took place ahead of the anniversary of the 25 January 2011 revolution, a time when authorities routinely escalate repression to prevent any peaceful protests.

The English term tariff derives from the French: tarif, lit. 'set price' which is itself a descendant of the Italian: tariffa, lit. 'mandated price; schedule of taxes and customs' which derives from Medieval Latin: tariffe, lit. 'set price'. This term was introduced to the Latin-speaking world through contact with the Turks and derives from the Ottoman Turkish: تعرفه, romanized: taʿrife, lit. 'list of prices; table of the rates of customs'. This Turkish term is a loanword of the Persian: تعرفه, romanized: taʿrefe, lit. 'set price, receipt'. The Persian term derives from Arabic: تعريف, romanized: taʿrīf, lit. 'notification; description; definition; announcement; assertion; inventory of fees to be paid' which is the verbal noun of Arabic: عرف, romanized: ʿarafa, lit. 'to know; to be able; to recognise; to find out'.[13][14][15][16][17][18]

I guess this is what you call irony?
