Anti-Arab prejudice is suggested by many events in history. In the [[Iberian Peninsula]], when the ''[[Reconquista]]'' by the indigenous Christians from the Moorish colonists was completed with the [[Granada War|fall of Granada]], all non-Catholics were expelled. In 1492, Arab converts to Christianity, called [[Morisco]]s, were expelled from Spain to North Africa after being condemned by the [[Spanish Inquisition]]. The Spanish word "moro", meaning ''moor'', today carries a negative meaning.<ref name="Echabe">{{cite journal |last=Echebarria-Echabe |first=Agustín |author2=Emilia Fernández Guede |date=May 2007 |title=A New Measure of Anti-Arab Prejudice: Reliability and Validity Evidence |journal=Journal of Applied Social Psychology |volume=37 |issue=5 |pages=1077–1091 |doi=10.1111/j.1559-1816.2007.00200.x |issn=0021-9029 }}</ref>

In ''The Arabic Language and National Identity: a Study in Ideology'', [[Yasir Suleiman]] notes of the writing of Tawfiq al-Fikayki that he uses the term ''shu'ubiyya'' to refer to movements he perceives to be anti-Arab, such as the [[Turkification]] movement in the [[Ottoman Empire]], extreme-nationalist and [[Pan-Iranist]] movements in Iran and [[communism]].  The economic boom in Iran which lasted until 1979 led to an overall increase of Iranian nationalism sparking thousands of anti-Arab movements. In al-Fikayki's view, the objectives of anti-Arabism are to attack [[Arab nationalism]], pervert history, emphasize Arab regression, deny [[Arab culture]], and generally be hostile to all things Arab. He concludes that, "In all its various roles, anti-Arabism has adopted a policy of intellectual conquest as a means of penetrating Arab society and combatting Arab nationalism."<ref name=Suleiman>{{cite book|title=The Arabic Language and National Identity: A Study in Ideology|url=https://archive.org/details/arabiclanguagena00sule|url-access=limited|first=Yasir|last=Suleiman|publisher=[[Edinburgh University Press]]|year=2003|page=[https://archive.org/details/arabiclanguagena00sule/page/n243 238]|isbn=0-7486-1707-8}}</ref>
