I think especially if Sudanese are included, the answer is that it varies.

No, they are Semites -not unlike the ancient Hebrews.

Which is why it makes no sense to me why they are often described as being 'anti-semitic', when 'anti-Jewish' gets the point across more accurately. 
Semites are a linguistic category, not a racial one. Arabic speakers, as it was pointed out can be very different racially.
Of course, in this case antisemitic is even more inaccurate, but I suppose it's used because it's the established term.
