The term Moor applied to all Muslim inhabitants of Spain and Northwest Africa, whether they were Arabs, Berbers or people from further south such as nomads living in the Sahara or Malians. In many ways it was similar to the terms 'Saracen' and 'Turk' for the Muslims in the Middle East. Unlike an umbrella term such as Moors, the Berbers were/are an ethnic group like the Arabs.
