    Unfortunately, they are a minority in that country and they sometimes face problems from the majority population.

          Doesn't do much good though, seeing as how they are never part of a governing coalition. It certainly hasn't stopped them from becoming second class citizens.

              The Druiz are second class citizens?

              News to me.

                So is the Middle East.

                Turkey is not strictly speaking an Arab country - but it certainly is a Muslim country.

                    Druze aren't arabs, and yes, they pretty much are. Certainly not first-class citizens. Not to speak of palestinian arabs.

                          You are correct that Arabs in Israel are the only ones who live in a real dmeocracy. Unfortunitelly, it is not a democracy in which they are equal.

                          If you can tell me that an Arab or Druze can one day be Prime Minister, President (as symbolic as it is) and head of Staff of the IDF , then you can say they are equal citizens of Israel.

                            An Arab can be the Prime Minister of Israel(or President or Chief of Staff).

                            At the current political climate it's simply as unlikely as having a monkey as the President of the United States.
