So why it is "stupid" that they don't include Egypt but correct that they don't include Afghanistan?
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[QUOTE="BossPerson"][QUOTE="GreySeal9"]
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.

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[QUOTE="BossPerson"]

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[QUOTE="GreySeal9"][QUOTE="BossPerson"]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 BossPerson

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[QUOTE="GreySeal9"][QUOTE="Nayef_shroof"] Too bad Afghanistan isn't in the Middle East...dramaybaz

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.
Middle East=hell hole.

pretty much summarizes any point brought up about any incident in the middle East

Utter Nonsense, was this map made by an uneducated/ignorant redneck? 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 regionsI bet I could get a place out there cheap too.Allicrombie
Yeah, I'm sure it'd be great. Until they found a reason to take your head off and send it back to the US. :P

In the vast majority of Middle Eastern depictions, yes it is[QUOTE="BossPerson"][QUOTE="GreySeal9"]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 To be fair Egypt is in Africa....well turkey is in Europe, but apparently its also in the ME. Its not exclusive to Asia.So why it is "stupid" that they don't include Egypt but correct that they don't include Afghanistan?

[QUOTE="MakeMeaSammitch"]they did sort of attack us. I wonder why..cause women are treated mostly equal to men in this country is a major reason.[QUOTE="whiskeystrike"]
We are leaving Afghanistan. 2016 is the deadline I believe. It's a damn tragedy being there in the first place though... US needs to stay the hell out of the middle east.

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

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

Good job making the title misleading. :roll:

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.Â
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.
I can't wait for the 'bigot! sexist!' posts to come. :PLet's see how many people will realize the importance of reading the opening post!
