Proper nounPlural - From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The Middle East (or, formerly more common, the Near East) is a region that spans southwestern Asia, southeastern Europe, and northeastern Africa. It has no clear boundaries, often used as a synonym to Near East, in opposition to Far East. The corresponding adjective to the Middle East is Middle-Eastern and the derived noun is Middle-Easterner. The history of the Middle East dates back to ancient times, and throughout its history the Middle East has been a major centre of world affairs. The Middle East is also the historical origin of three of the world’s major religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The Middle East generally has an arid and hot climate, with several major rivers providing for irrigation to support agriculture in limited areas. Many countries located around the Persian Gulf have large quantities of crude oil. In modern times the Middle East remains a strategically, economically, politically, culturally and religiously sensitive region. From Wikipedia under the

Q. If some alternative sources of fuel were developed or found, and the world no longer needed fossil fuels...how would that affect the Middle East and other oil producing areas? Asked by JamesRTD - Wed Feb 20 20:30:57 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. It is actually an interesting question, since we know that many countries are already searching for alternative energies, and that one day oil wells may dry up. As I searched for the answer, I found many speculations, but no one is sure enough of their answer. Although amidst those in the middle east there are great engineers and thinkers, and with great vision, but without support from their government or any other bodies, their ideas will never flourish. Some Arabs however are somewhat optimistic, believing that when fossil fuels are no longer needed, all these civil wars, wars between middle-eastern countries, invasions from foreign nations, and injustice, oppression and tyranny of many rulers will stop.

Q. Why do i always hear news about suicide bombings in the Middle east do they ever chill. I think muslim people are cool, why don't they get along with Israel? Asked by Juan - Mon May 18 21:51:56 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. The Middle East has been unstable since the end of the Ottoman Empire at the end of WW1. Most of the territory was split between France and Britain who decided in the 1920s where the boundaries of each state would be without taking into account tribal, religious and ethnic differences. This has led to continual internal tensions which have required strong repressive regimes to hold the countries together. Then in the 1940s Palestine was devastated by the influx of illegal jewish immigrants from Europe who formed terrorist gangs and attacked the British Administration and the local Christians and Muslims.
