[Oman-L] Saudi citizenship/GCC citizenship

[AbeOnline]

Salaam Omar,
Pardon me..but just for the knowledge..how white are you? so i can get a sense of the word white arabs and black arabs..as you know there three types of arabs..1- ibn arab, the original tribes.2 Muarabah, this includes very large segment of the gulf people, and people of ther countries like lebanon, Syria, Egypt etc where lotsa of mixed races exist today as simply Arabs.
finally mustarabah this identifies people of Ajam origins, particularly, persians, Saudis of Far Eastren origins and "your Black Arabs" or people of African origins.
now, let me see and wait your answer so as to determine which one of these you belong to. then i shall tell you bit more of the tribal structure of the Al-Jazira, also, will suggest some books to you.
regards,abdallah
