Isis...Egypt as Arabs

Submitted by Keri (Canada), Dec 30, 2008 at 00:46

Egypt's Arab identity is complex, and Egypt was a coherent society long before the Arab invasions of the 7th century. However, after several hundred years, Egyptians converted to Islam en masse, around the time of the earliest Crusades.

I think you are confusing Islam with Arabs. Religion vs. culture.
