You can say that, but of course, Arabization came with admixture with the locals which is why the Muslims tend to cluster more closer to Arabia and north Africa in contrast to the Christians and other genetically isolated groups like the Druze. I'm an Arabized Levantine for the most part genetically, lol. The reason why me and other predominately genetically Levantine peoples today cluster more further away from the ancient neolithic Levantines and early Bronze age Levantines is due because the Levantine genetic structure became more northern as the west Asiatic migrants from Anatolia and Iran began migrating their during the late bronze age and early Iron age periods. The Levantines ancestors of both Egyptians and Arabians left the Levant in the second wave where they were very Levantine with some west Asiatic admixture.
