Why the only way Muhammad can attract the Arab (pagan) people to convert to Islam is by telling them that they
are the chosen people by GOD although the fact is there are not. Why would GOD chose a race that is known as war like tribe in the Holy Bible as the chosen people
The Koran says that Ishmael descendent are the chosen one meaning that the arab are the chosen one

I don't know, probably for the same reason he chose the stiff necked people (and other epithets) for Moses. Come on, Arveen, get with it. You are demonstrating some prejudice here that is quite unbecoming of someone who would claim to be embracing the spiritual attributes.
How about those silly people of Krishna? Really, I'm making a joke but every people has their unspiritual elements and sordid past. Some even have a sordid present and are likely to have a sordid future.
What Sunshine says is true. Muhammad made all equal. Even the Jews who became believers became incensed and turned against Muhammad when He told them everyone would be equal and the Jews wouldn't be ruling over the Arabs. They came to believe they would be lording it over the Arabs because Muhammad indicated that the King of Israel was the lord of the Arabs as well. What He meant was that the King of Israel was the King of the Kingdom of God under which Muslim and Jew alike could exist in the embrace of the Will of God. It was more of a prophetic utterance as the people of the time didn't comprehend what Muhammad was alluding to.
flameslivewire speaks the truth as well when he says: "But history is the witness, how these pagan people, who used to drink blood, bury their daughters alive, when they were blessed with Islam, became examples for the entire mankind."

The Jews are the chosen people of God because they are descendants of Isaac. Ishmael was the bast*** child of Abraham, which is the Arab bloodline. In Genesis it talks about what Hagar's child (Ishmael) would be like, a wild child, basically a troublemaker. That's not what God wanted. That's who Muhammad came from. That's proof he was a false prophet and islam a false teaching.
May God Bless you.

If you believe in Christianity, than you do believe that Arabs are the chosen people. To be chosen you must believe in Christ's resurrection. The Christian Arabs in present day Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine were Christians long before the whites in Europe and the Americas.
As someone above said, race has nothing to do with religion.

He never said that, he said quite the opposite, read his final sermon here is a short excerpt
" All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.
Remember, one day you will appear before God (The Creator) and you will answer for your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.
O People, NO PROPHET OR MESSENGER WILL COME AFTER ME AND NO NEW FAITH WILL BE BORN. Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand words which I convey to you. I am leaving you with the Book of God (the QUR'AN*) and my SUNNAH (the life style and the behavioral mode of the Prophet), if you follow them you will never go astray.
All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my witness O God, that I have conveyed your message to your people. "
Peace Be With You

God has something to say about everyone to some degree ...obviously so "whats your point?" It's all semantic!
Just exactly what it and if what if anything can possibly
relate to modern now day..Stick to what you know ! To
relate is not literal. Sure anyone can relate to anything, all the literlists have a serious problem . Literlism is a extremist form and another form of materialism mistaken in matters that arent matter
at all ... Leave the tacitness alone!

M. could desire to have found out that as a effect of his very own Islamic coaching the international Christian community might seek for to locate the thank you to loose all those concubines and mistresses from intercourse obsessed Islam, or failing that, sneaking their women folk sharp knives so as that they are able to diminish off the intercourse organ from abusive adult males. If M. knew that then did no longer M. additionally recognize all good Christians might desire those seventy two women folk properly virgin in heaven. Is the suited Christian going to heaven to slake lust or adore God? you come back to a determination.

That is not true what you are saying. What is true is the fact you do not obtain employment or even most state services in a Islamic country. Convert or starve and do without is main reason. One is forced to convert just for the basic livelyhoods and are forced to obey the rules even though one is a non believer.

I do not believe anyone is chosen by god. Just do your good deeds and you will be chosen by god.
P.S. I am not aware of a single verse that says that Arabs are god's chosen people. There is a verse that says "you are the best people because you do good deeds and you refrain from evil deeds"

You are right, they were really pagan people at that time.
But history is the witness, how these pagan people, who used to drink blood, bury their daughters alive, when they were blessed with Islam, became examples for the entire mankind.
And ofcourse they were the chosen people, as they were the descendants of Prophet Abraham who submitted ONLY to ONE GOD.
Peace Be With you.

You have your informations confused dear.
Muhammad never told Arabs that they are God's chosen people.
It is known in Islam that the only "chosen" people are the prophets.
The only superiority that might exist in Islam is of those who believe (and follow).
Try getting your information a little more straightened out.
Peace.
