Why Iran and Turkey Are Muslim but Not Arab

The Middle East, the Arab world and the Muslim world are three different things. The Middle East is a geographic region of about 17 countries, depending on the definition. The Arab world is the 22 countries of the Arab League, from Mauritania to Oman. The Muslim world is roughly 50 countries where Muslims are the majority. Iran and Turkey are in the Middle East and Muslim-majority, but they are not Arab, and Morocco is Arab but not in the Middle East. See the three maps side by side.
