[edit] Malta
I never said they were pure Arabs, I simply stated the facts, the Arabs ruled Malta from the 9th century to the Norman Conquest. There are even Arab gravestones on Gozo. Maltese is an Arabis dialect.Al-Zaidi (talk) 07:08, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- Being Christian doesn't mean you cannot be Arab. Being Arab doesn't mean you cannot be Christian since Lebanese, Iraqis, Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, Egypt, Sicily, Sardinia, Calabria, Andalusia, and Yes Malta is no exception. In Spain there was the Inquisition, and Arabs became Catholic. During the Norman Conquest Arabs in Malta and Sicily became Catholic. If you read your history, you will see that being Arab and being in Europe is not impossible, the Roman Emperor Phillip was known as Phillip the Arab. Al-Zaidi (talk) 06:58, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
