Why did the Qur'an say that the Arabs are preferred to other nations?

Thrice Gotcha answered

not the Arabs but the children of Israel god chose them above the other nations its in the bible as well

John McCann answered

For the same reason the torah tells Jews they are the "chosen people."

Religion is a man made concept and if your people are making up concepts you might as well go whole hog.

Reyhaneh Seyyed Hosseini answered

I am sorry, but exactly which part of Quran has said something like that?

If you read Quran, You will understand the the main point of all of it, is

1- Equality and fraternity among all people with different cultures and believes and ...

2- To believe in Doomsday and the existence of God

If you could ever find a sentence in Quran that says Arabs are superior, then you should know that, that Quran is Distorted.
