泉州回族与伊斯兰教、阿拉伯人,三者关系密切,但又互有区别。这三个名词概念常被混淆互相通用,造成一些不必要的误会,应该加以区别,正确了解这三者的关系。泉州回族是我国五十五个少数民族——回族之一部分,是我国统一多民族大家庭之成员。伊斯兰教是世界三大宗教之一,我国信仰伊斯兰教的民族除回族外,还有部分汉族和其他少数民族;泉州回族现在也有部分信仰其他宗教。阿拉伯人是外国人,他们早在隋唐就来到 Quanzhou Hui and Islam, Arabs, the three closely related, but different from each other. These three concepts of nouns are often confused and common to each other, causing unnecessary misunderstandings. We should make a distinction between them and correctly understand the relationship among the three. Quanzhou Hui is one of the fifty-one ethnic minorities in China, part of the Hui ethnic group, and a member of the unified multi-ethnic family in our country. Islam is one of the three major religions in the world. In addition to the Muslims, there are also some Han and other ethnic minorities in our ethnic group who believe in Islam. Quanzhou Hui now has some faith in other religions. Arabs are foreigners, they came back in Sui and Tang Dynasties
