As for the stories in Syria, they dont really count since there is an all out civil war going on. The man beheaded in Tunisia was a islamic convert (still barbaric, but not exactly the same as storming a christian house and killing everyone there. As for Iraq, I already mentioned thats a problem. 

As for all the stories about christians fleeing, that doesnt mean there have been rampant beheadings and rapes as you suggested. 

And as for Armenians fleeing Syria, that doesnt suggest theyre being targeted by rebels, it just means they want to get out of the way of incoming missiles.

What is your explanation for why there is a mass exodus of Christians from that area over the last two years then?

My wife is from the Philippines. Hopefully, that place will improve. I'm not fond of living in the tropics. But, it's an option I considered if hard times befell us here in the US. My wife owns a logging business (along with substantial forest property) there. We'd have a place to live plus Guam isn't too far away to visit if I start to miss US life.

TC, I'd suggest you don't generalize and make ignorant assertions about entire regions. The Middle East is not living in 700 A.D., and, excluding Saudi Arabia and Iran, women aren't oppressed.  That's an incredibly ludicrous assumption. Many regions in the Middle East are rather developed and don't have issues with "radical Islam" :roll:.

As long as the west is in power no it wont. We only live the way we do but stepping on the toes of poor nations. China is investing huge into africa maybe there is hope for them.

africa - maybe. There are alot of people making the right moves and some countries are developing significantly. at the same time though, aids, religion and stupid social habits are reeking havoc.

Middle east - no. I honestly think alot of the issue stems from religion and I don't see that going anywhere. They rely on natural resources too heavily which will be mainly gone by then. They are treating women like crap and keeping them uneducated, that's gonna bite them in the @ss.

I'm seeing a trend among muslims. Not all are guilty of this, but enough do it to be noteworthy.

Denying problems with their culture and blaming others rather than seek solutions.

Shroof would be an excellent example. denying that women aren't treated like crap in afghanastan where girls fear to go to school in light of having acid thrown in their faces.

Is this a major reason the middle east is so backwards? Something in the culture discourages self criticism?

It doesn't make it any better when you say "don't worry they're not killing christians only humanitarian and low level workers over skin color and nationality."

Those areas of the world seem beyond repair imo unless there was some serious mass extinction event.

Africa well never achieve the success of the western world. Africa has too many tangible assets that help stimulate the economy, and they lack a government.

The middle east will remain conservative for the rest of their life span.

I see Mexico and Brazil become potential superpowers in the future.

not a smart question , taking 3 regions which are very different and have different issues

I don't think South Asia suffers from the tribal/religious issues the Middle East does, and the Middle East doesn't suffer from the AIDS epidemic like Africa does.

Their living standards won't be as high as that of Europeans or North Americans by 2050 or even perhaps the end of the century, but the gap is closing at an extremely rapid pace with even the slowest growing of those regions having double the growth of their Western rivals.

The European Sovereign Debt Crisis is a temporary situation that definitely won't last for more than a few years, and in the long run the GDP per capita almost alwyays rises, so yes Europe in 2050 will be better off than Europe today.

Better how.

Become more like the west?

I think the west and east will pretty much merge and move towards each other culturally, to some kind of center.
