    Default Are there any Arabs who are Hindus?

    I was trying to find if there were any Arabs who had converted to Hinduism and all that, but I couldn't find any. Also, do Indians find it weird for a Semitic Arab person to be a Hindu?

    I'd say skip Hinduism.
    Being Greek is an experienced grounded into nation, not consumption.

    No most Arabs who are interested in paganism, try to discover their own pagan religion. The Arabian pagan religion differed a lot from Hinduism and was based on worship of feminine deities, which as in form of trinity, with Al-lat the mother and creator Goddess, Al-Uzza goddess of war and love, and Manat Goddess of death and fate. All three form what is called the feminine essence. Not to mention that gods like Hubal and other male deities often took a secondary role. It should be noted that the Hejaz region would be influenced by Judeo-Christian traditions which would seep into the Arabian culture in that area, leading eventually to different believes among the Arabian pagans. A lot of Judaic and Christian influence would enter. In eastern Arabia Nestorian Christianity would make inroads, however the interior Desert tribes stayed pagan and were really never influenced by Judeo-Christianity and tried to resist it. After Islam came most converted to Islam, others were nominally Christian, but would switch due to political and economic gain.

    Arabian paganism differs from that of the Indo-Europeans and other Semitic people as well, due to it's unique nature. Arabian paganism believed that all of creation was rather from a female source, unlike Indo-European and other Semitic people which believed it was male energy.

    I know some Arabs who became well pagans, or at least try to identify with that aspect. Hinduism is very Indo-European and thus it does not appeal to most Arabs. Most ex-Muslim Arabs believe that from the spiritual/religious sense Islam is the most logical, but Atheism is more logical, rarely would they go into another Abrahamic faith some do, but not the majority, well others are very interested in their pagan or original pagan religion. Since Persian and Byzantine sources are clearly biased and give false info on the nature of the pagan Arabians especially the first rather than the latter.

    I wish they had remained pagan though. I know it sounds strange but Arabs were unique in their own beliefs and culture in the past, don't you think?

    Yeah it would have been interesting how the history would have been if the Arabian tribes have stayed pagan. However many converted to Islam because it became the most dominant political, religious, cultural and economic force. It's believed many stayed pagan until the 9th century A.D when they were truly and totally Islamized. There are various reasons for the Islamization of the pagan Arabian tribes, one of them was religious that the truth has appeared, the other is cultural and economic power, especially those Arabian tribes that were present in the Byzantine and Persian empires. Thus they saw Islam to gain control and overthrow the shackles of their oppressors. The Persians were not really good to their Arab subjects, so it's no wonder most of the Arabs rebelled against them, and lastly there was a connection of blood which has over ridden the loyalty to the empires. It's believed that the Bedouin tribes in Syria would open the gates to the Byzantines, due to deep grudge, most of these Bedouins have not been Christianized and were pagan, this unlike the Christian Arabs like the Ghassanid who remained loyal to the Byzantine empire.

    Though it would be interesting if there existed a pagan religion still in Arabia indeed, but history would have been written differently. As more and more findings appear in Arabia, we might finally know the truth of the Arabian pagans who were defamed in Persian sources.

    What ever happened to the Arab Ghassinids? Did they assimilate to the general Levantine populace?
