| Arab, Levant Cluster – Profile |
- The term “Levant”, “where the sun rises”, originally referred to the Mediterranean lands east of Italy. Today it refers to Israel, Jordon, Lebanon, Cyprus, Syria, West Bank / Gaza, and a portion of southern Turkey. The largest ethno-linguistic group in this region is the Arabs, most of whom are Muslim.
- Levant Arabs are often lighter in complexion than Arabs of Arabia and the Gulf, revealing they are largely a mixture of Mediterranean peoples who were Arabized over the centuries.
- Arabs of the Levant speak a version of Arabic referred to as Levantine Arabic, North and South. The way Levantine Arabic is spoken varies significantly between urban, rural, and nomadic areas.
- The region of the Levant (Greater Syria, as it was known) was under Roman rule for seven centuries before being invaded by Muslim Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula shortly after the death of Mohammed in 632AD. Muslim presence in the Levant has continued to the present day, after this successful invasion. Even so, the area was predominately Christian for hundreds of years after the conquest.
- The Levant has a long history of being quite cosmopolitan, with early influences from France, Italy, and the Ottoman Empire. “Travelers were astonished and attracted by the variety of races and costumes in these cities and the juxtaposition of mosques, churches and synagogues.” Levantine cities have been noted for bringing modernity and education, the antithesis of today's fundamentalist Islam.
