Here's the CIA definition of the ME

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/wfbExt/region_mde.html

It doesnt include egypt (stupid imo), but it doesnt go any more east than Iran as well (as is correct)

So why it is "stupid" that they don't include Egypt but correct that they don't include Afghanistan?

Uh, yeah, it is:

Some parts of the Middle East overlaps/bleeds into Southern and Northern Asia.

But even if it wasn't, my statement still stands. Middle East=hell hole for the most part.

GreySeal9

lol, who is the dumba55 who thought to put uzbekistan but not Egypt in the "middle east" The term is ambiguous and there;s no one definition, but by most accounts the caucasas and afghanistan/pakistan are not included in it

Egypt is part of the Middle East, but geographically it is clearly in Africa.

One could say the same for Turkey for being in Europe

Egypt is much closer the center of the ME and involved in its concerns than Afghanistan, pakistan, or tajikistan is In many ways it is the center of the ME, which is centered on the Arab world

Well, Turkey did see itself as European enough that it tried to become part of the European union.

If we're going by the degree to which the countries are involved in the ME's concerns, Afghanistan and Pakistan clearly make the cut along with Egypt.

like i said, the ME is centered on the Arab World (the levant), not the Muslim world Afghanistan/Pakistan have almost nothing to do with Iraq/Syria/Lebanon/Saudi Arabia/Israel as Egypt and Turkey do

I dont think it is okay for girls to not have a chance at education.

However i dont think everyone needs an education.

I know many people who are skilled in their craft and much more successful than highly educated people.

But that is ony if they are in a safe environment to expand their talents.

I'm just confused as to when Central Asia/South Asia was ever part of the Middle East...I've never seen geographical depictions of the ME that included those regions

The problem with educating women is that they begin to think they have more to offer than their lady lumps. Don't get me wrong... belief is a good thing, but let's stick to our strengths please.

It's sickening to be a member of the same species as the people who cause these crimes.

Born with a different chromosome by no choice of their own, get treated like a lesser human for life. Fair, right?

Bad map. Egypt not included. Lots of countries that shouldn't be there included. West Bank part of Jordan apparently.

Also if ME=Hell hole what does that make sub-saharan Africa, northern Africa, Central Asia, south eastern Asia etc.?

Egypt is part of the Middle East politically, but geographically it is clearly in Africa.

How is that mutually exclusive?

In any case Egypt is a transcontinental as it straddles the boarder between the Africa and Asia and is thus clearly in Asia as well, and the Middle East.

i wonder if there was a vote, would most of those women say yes to education ? Or they might be ok with just staying home, stress free ? Who knows. Since we don't know what the life style involves over there. Might be good, might be bad. Here in America, 99.9 percent of women love to be part of society and to have freedome of choice. I am glad women have it all here, makes them more desirable and interesting. In my opinion.
