I have never been in Middle East. all I know about Middle East are:

1). Quran is a wonderful book.
2) Muslims are very religious.
3) Middle East is abundant in oil, and those advanced countries like US, UK, always wanna loot oil from Middle East.
4) Middle east is rich,
5) women in Middle East have less freedom than the women in other countries.

2) Muslims now are not religious any more.
5) Islam gave women its rights but now we are not religious so women rights were taken , if we returned to islam then women'll take its rights.


In the middle east when we were relegious we were powerful and the most developed country in the world but now we are not so we are the least developed country. and there is still stupid Arabians now say that the reason that we are the least developed country is relegion , but were is relegion , muslims today are not relegious at all . only few of them . and that is the cause of all problems.

I find though muslims believe in same religion,they are not united especially when things were related to individual interests,if the whole islam world could stand together for their whole community,the situation would have changed largely as we know the worst thing for a community was inner chaos .

well, i don't know very well what's the problem there and the idea that i have from middle east it's more less what I have read here, less rights to the women�s, religion extremists and much oil under the ground, so mixing all these features i guess i can say it's not a part of the world that i would like to visit, at least now.

contrary to your opinion, I wanna visit Middle East, as long as I have enough money. because I got many good internet friends from Middle East, and one of them even sent me a wonderful book from Saudi Arabia.

well... i'm sure it's a fantastic place to visit and with friendly people to meet, but at the moment it's just a place that isn't in my priorities to visit, but who knows the future Wink, but please don�t misunderstand me�. I haven�t absolutely nothing against that part of the world, as i haven�t against anybody Cool

acctually there are few religious people theree and the Non religious people took away women rights . but religious ones gave women thier rights .
acctually the main cause of our problem is that we are not religious. DIDN'T you recognize that when The Middle East was a great empire we were religious . and when we were not religious -as most of us now- we were in the tail of the races .
so if we returned to our religion we'll be leaders again.
Dont match what happend in Europe in the 18th century with us . what happend is that when people left their relegion developed quickly . because their relegion was the cause of problems . but with islam . when muslims were religious were powerful . and when they saw Europians left religion and developed they wanted to do so but they failed . (islam makes muslims powerful / other religions causes countries problems) .

Middle East is a contentious region .And the only thing i'm sure is to care the real need is the most important.democracy or totalitarianism?individulism or collectivism?Islam or other religions? women rights or not? [/quote]
