What are they then?

Sudanese are considered arab as well if that adds to anything...

 

[Alen]

The Middle eastern boundries are cut on the lines of Arab blood.. islam or a country in the vicinity doesnt cut it...

I think Hambon's is the best explaination.

Even though eastern this, middle that, western this, far that are geographical terms, many times other things (religion, ethnicity etc) are used to define the term.

Just look at Europe :

Do you know why is Slovenia (east of Italy , south of Austria) Eastern European country while Austria is central/western European country and Czech Republic (north of Austria) is also said to be an Eastern European country ?
It has nothing to do with geography but with the political background of Austria and Slovenia/Czech Republic post WW II.

Look at Finland and how more east it is than Slovenia and Czech Republic. Finland's of course a Northern European country but many times it's put together with the western European countries and if i remember well, some guys here made fun of Seven for saying that some things don't happen in western Europe and when these things happened in Finland, you guys said that's a proof that the same things that are happening in USA are happening in W.Europe.

I mean, Finland's neighbour is Russia and Finland is eastern than half of the east European countries. Why is it then more of a western then it is an eastern european country ?

People are applauding her death Tahir.You wont hear or read it in the news,but some assholes are doing so.I personally know such people,and it sickens me.

Death is certainly not a good thing to applaud... but mercy has prevailed.. well atleast in the short term.

Western Europe is a defined concept as well though. Your explanation is right, but genereally Finland shouldn't be put together with Western European countries.

Egyptians have traditionally hated Jews and have killed and ostracized a lot of them, does that make Egyptians Anti-Semetic.

On a sidenote, this great Benazir Bhutto was convicted of corruption...

twice. Can someone explain this to me? I don't see how it works. She's being put forward as the saviour of the people, but at the same time she's corrupt?

Now that's a European attitude. But then again, politicians are never seen as saviours here.

Every Arab speaking country is Arab Burke.

Then every French speaking country is French.

 

[Seven]

Then every French speaking country is French.

But Arab isn't a nationality. French is.

Well, no, but it is a bit vague. I was always taught that Arabic speaking countries were Arab, that that was the measure.

But Arab isn't a nationality. French is.

Okay, then every French speaking country is FRANCE!

Dude, I just don't really care right now.

 

[Seven]

Okay then, Burke.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

But don't Morocco and Libya and some other African countries speak Arabic? Are they Arabs and in the Middle East?

I would call them Africans.
