Regarding the Middle East

[Crawler]

How much about the Middle East do you guys know about. Just a curious question seeing as most American's are ignorant and don't know anything about this topic.

Like.... first... where is the Middle East? Name a few countries... if you can. Why is their war in the Middle East? What is the problem with Islam extremists and the US? Why is the Middle East so unstable? Who caused all the problems? Etc.

the easy ones biaaatch

Iraq
Iran
Turkey
Israel?
Pakistan

blah blah

The moslems hate the jews....we hate the moslems (USA) we want oil...we all hate each other...blacks, whites, jews, moslem, native american, hindu, blah blah. Need I continue?

If only Saddam was still in power we would only have to worry about Afghanistan and still not have found Osama Bin Laden.

That's totally wrong. The reason that all the Islamic extremists are pissed off at the rest of the world (Britain/US) is because the mess they left. Britain promised them so many things, divided the land up, and left them right after WW1 was over. They took the leader of Mecca and his sons and made them kinds of different territories such as Jordan, Iraq, and Syria. The reason there is so much tension in the Middle East is because before World War 1 it was all the Ottoman Empire (and even before that) there was thousands of different tribes there that are now forced to live among eachother. Now since the idea of "countries" came along each group wants their own. The Kurds in Iraq want to break off, the Assyrians want their own, the Druze want their own, etc. There is already a Jewish state (Israel) and a Christian Maronite state (Lebanon), the rest feel like they should get their own.

Reason all Arab countries don't like Israel is because that land was promised to King Abdullah (one of the dudes sons) by Britain. The Palestinians resided there but then the Jews wanted to Britain to make their national home in biblical Israel and not in Argentina or Kanye so the Brits said they could create a national homeland there as long as they don't disrupt the Palestinians living there. Well as time goes on Israel started growing, kicking out the Palestinians, forcing them into different sections (Gaza Strip, West Bank) and put up walls and called it Israel.

Now what's with all this "Death to America!" stuff? Well the US simply just picked up where Britain and France left off. The US being so close to Israel and supplying them with 3-4 billion dollars a year, weapons, military aircrafts, etc. doesn't help

The Bush household are like brothers with the Saudi family (the royal family of Saudi Arabia) the Saudi king has a huge ass portrait of Bush and Bush has pictures of him on his desk and shit. That's pretty hypocritical if you think about it seeing as we've always been pro-democracy, but the US is best buddies with an absolute monarchy.

Ahh I'm just bored. I'm leaving in like 5 hours and I'm done packing.

Why do Europeans think we are idiots? How long is a piece of string? Religion my friend, I belive in God, I believe in a higher power, yeah I do. But the message gets muddled. The majority of religions speak hate and anger. When I read the Bible, Koran, The Bhagavad Gita (sp) and The Torah I realised that we all believe in a higher power yet "our" higher power is better than anyone else's. Bullshit. God is God and that will never change.

In respond that guy needs help, and a better education.
Jews, and Muslims should just take a moment and stop praying and think...think
that goes for any other religion...

Well I don't think anyone should judge anyone
Yes I used to be anti-gay, joke about hating Jews and still do*deep inside i don't really hate nor cherish them in any way* Its just like any other race out there, people grow and this world doesn't just revolve around your race nor you. I have change my views mostly cause I meet different people and became friends with some, yes everyone has his/her racist moments but
its not OK to judge one race upon one individual. Now its Muslims for being "terrorist" but think is the next door neighbor a terrorist has be blown up your house or killed anyone you know, most of us just "judge" them based on what we hear on the media. Imagine, the world wasn't rule by "white" man everyone has his moments in world history. Eventually another race will take over and then what? Well maybe you will be discriminated against not that this may happen in our era that another race will take charge. Right now everyone even whites are discriminated. It's the lack of knowledge and experience that just blinds you to say stupid things. Everyone has their own views, you don't like them then DON'T associate with them nor share the same space, move to a new place. Everyone is not entitle to any land, the United States wasn't owned by European Caucasians, yet they stripped the land from the natives that had more of a right to be here. No one should say that if someone doesn't like it they should move back to their land unless you created the world and you are what most people look up to as a "God". If you are not then I personally suggest you move on with your life, move to a place with more of "your people" and create your little perfect racist world. Think about it you are racist, or dislike certain people but have you seen the stuff you use, eat, read, watch? I can say for sure that some of the stuff you have is not US made or where ever you live. Gaming consoles, your little cell phones, where do you think it comes from? Christianity, is not the "real" religion, and to tell you the truth we have evolve and no longer need for a "religion" to keep us going but yet many still feel superior based on that. It's OK do what you want it's your life, I'm just trying to enlighten you cause one day you might need help from the people you hate the most, and for that remember this post and laugh. Laugh cause you still haven't open your eyes.

Think about it does it make sense for all this fighting and all these hate crimes?
Why can't you just live and let live, those who seek power and want to be superior
and feel superior just need to go back to school, cause they will never be superior to anyone because they are not even smart enough to see what they do is wrong.
