The Arab culture, identity, and distinct racial features formed in the Arabian peninsula. After they accepted Islam in the 7th century, they turned to conquest other areas.

This is all well documented in Arab sources, they are very proud of this.

>they accepted Islam in the 7th century

Oh i didn't realize we're going back more than a millennia. Well, in that case every modern nation state is the product of one form of genocide or another - the USA being the worst genocidal state, going back just 500 years.

>The Arab culture, identity, and distinct racial features formed in the Arabian peninsula

Seems silly to me to claim a land that "your people" inhabited centuries and millennia ago, as it honestly seems silly to me talk about "racial features" when talking about humans. Arab culture? Are you telling me an arab jew, muslim, christian, druze and aheist have the same culture by virtue of being of the same "race"?

Not by virtue of being the same race, but by virtue of being the offspring of parents who are proud of their heritage and teach their children.

Denying the existence of Arab culture, of which the Arabs are (rightly, in my opinion) very proud of, is racism. Not everybody has the same values and customs as you do.

Can you mention one cultural trait that an arab jew, muslim, and atheist would share?

That's like saying there is a european culture, it's nonsense.

"Whilst there are a great number of perspectives that can be taken on the subject, it is impossible to form a single, all-embracing concept of European culture."

Literally the second sentence in that wiki

		Do you frequently stop reading articles two sentences in? It's amazing how much knowledge and intelligence you must be missing. Please do keep reading past. The next sentence (literally sentence #3) gives you: Nonetheless, there are core elements which are generally agreed upon as forming the cultural foundation of modern Europe. One list of these elements given by K. Bochmann includes: And then a detailed list of shared-culture-related items. - A common cultural and spiritual heritage derived from Greco-Roman antiquity, Christianity, Judaism, the Renaissance, its Humanism, the political thinking of the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and the developments of Modernity, including all types of socialism;[5][4] - A rich and dynamic material culture, parts of which have been extended to the other continents as the result of industrialization and colonialism during the "Great Divergence";[5] - A specific conception of the individual expressed by the existence of, and respect for, a legality that guarantees human rights and the liberty of the individual;[5] - A plurality of states with different political orders, which share new ideas with one another.[5] - Respect for peoples, states, and nations outside Europe. And then there are 15 categories from Music to Science to History, listing cultural similitudes or shared values.
