Arabic
'arabisch' and 'islamisch' are sometimes confused because there are many Muslims in some countries of the Arab world. But they do not mean the same thing. 'arabisch' refers to the Arabic language, to Arab culture, or to the Arab world. 'islamisch' refers to Islam as a religion and to things connected with it. Not all Arab people are Muslim, and many Muslim people are not Arab. For language and origin, 'arabisch' fits; for religion, 'islamisch' fits.
