Arabism isn't a real thing, but yes it seems like most modern Arabic leaders have an evil mentality. Even though the Koran forbids violence and killing, it seems to make sense to them.

Is arabism a word?
An "Arabism" is an idiom, a word or phrase having a particular meaning or inference in Arabic.
Isn't Arabism the biggest racist movement against Kurds Berbers Jews Blacks Persians and so on?
You forgot to mention the Turks, Turkmen, Maronites, Copts, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Yazidi, Yarsan, and the Baha'i... Arabism, like most forms of nationalism asserts the unity of one ethnic group and its right to rule. This can be inherently racist or it can be seen as uniting. Unfortunately, Arabism formed as a policy of racial domination with Arab Muslims being superior to all non-Arabs and all non-Muslims in organizing the country and gaining their rights as equal citizens. Unfortunately, most Arab Muslims refuse to recognize the discrimination that Arabism has lead to and refuse to help minorities achieve truly equal rights and privileges.
What was the belief in Arab unity has been called?
Pan-arabism
Who was the Egyptian father of pan-Arabism?
Gabal Abdel Nasser
How did pan-arabism effect the Middle East?
Pan-Arabism has created an illusory sentiment of union in the Arab World regardless of the vast cultural and historical differences between the various Arab States.
How does Pan-Arabism relate to terrorism?
Pan-Arabism has no relation to terrorism. Pan-Arabism is a secular ideology based on Nationalist doctrines and ethnic unity/hegemony. Terrorism (in the Arab World) is based on twisted perceptions of religious concepts like Jihad and Sacrifice for the Faith. The only commonality between these two movements was that they were both proposed in the same time and in the same place, (but by two very different groups of people).
How did Pan-Arabism interact with Islam?
Pan-Arabism had nothing to do with Islam. The only connection comes from a number of Arab Nationalist assertions from which Pan-Arabism was based. In those documents, the "Arab" is identified by language (Arabic), character (similar cultural norms and ideas), and religion (Muslim). However, this does not mean that Pan-Arab Nationalism has anything to do with Islam in a religious sense. It is only using Islam as a marker of identity (like the Census would).
How does Pan-Arabism contribute to the conflict between Arabs and Kurds?
Pan-Arabism did not do much in changing Arab-Kurdish perceptions. Before the Pan-Arabist period (the 1950s and earlier) the Kurds had already attempted to secure an independent state and gained the ire of the Nationalist Iraqis. The Kurds were stuck between the two sides of a doublethink ideology. The contradiction was this: Iraq should be all territories within the former British Mandate of Iraq, but the only Iraqis are those of an Arab racial character. Since the Kurds were not Arabs, they were not considered "real Iraqis", but were forced to be a part of the Arab State. Much of the conflict was between Kurds trying to secede and Iraqis forcing them to stay in a union where they were second-class. Pan-Arabism only served to cement this pre-existing and pervasive Arab Nationalist ideology as concerns the Kurds.

Did the Balfour Declaration hinder the aims of Pan-Arabism?
The Declaration itself was toothless. In the same way the Emancipation Proclamation did not free any slaves, but set up the INTENT to free slaves, the Balfour Declaration did not create a Jewish State, but set up the INTENT to create a Jewish State. As concerns the Jewish State, many Arabs claim that Israel prevented Pan-Arabism from occurring even though the most successful Pan-Arab Nationalist project was the Egyptian-Syrian United Arab Republic which was physically split by Israel. Simply put, Israel drives a geographical wedge between Egypt and North Africa in the west and the Levant, Iraq, and Arabia in the east. Bottom Line: The Balfour Declaration neither furthered not hindered the aims of Pan-Arabism, but its later-result Israel is viewed to have hindered Pan-Arabism.
What do supporters of Pan-Arabism believe?
Supporters of Pan-Arabism believe that the Arab World should be one nation similar to the Umayyad Caliphate as it was in the year 750 C.E. (without Persia or Southern Spain). They believe that the Arab World has borders that were artificially drawn by Europeans, Turks, and greedy Arab rulers and that the natural condition of the Arab people is to be in one large nation (similar to the United States).
