Possibly three-quarters of the world's Muslims are not from an Arabic background; however, Mohammed's Arab lifestyle and cultural background have profoundly influenced Islam. Arabs are Semites (descendants of Shem) with three types of Middle Eastern Arabs: the Joktanites, the Ishmaelites and the Keturahites.
Muslims often believe that Christians are deceived and that they have an obligation to lead them to the truth of Islam. Because of this they reject many things that come from Western society and which they consider perverted. Christians need to know about these objections and be prepared to deal with them correctly.
