You don't get to have over 50% of a specific groups DNA and are originally something that's generally less than a 3rd of your DNA for a 1000 years. They're Arab in a similar way that we're both American. It's an idea more so than a DNA based ethnic group. Genetically speaking they're are the original descendants of the Levant.
But more so than that, they've been there in the area whether it had a specific name for a millenia as a people.
