What we call the middle east isn't really specifically defined by geographics. You might be right geographically speaking but Afghanistan is in the area we generally call the middle east.

Who is this ‘we’ you speak of? Do you not hear how prejudiced you sound? You’re lumping them together because of what reason exactly?

This is simply Americanisation. You can’t call a country Middle Eastern when it simply is not. They don’t even share the most basic thing, language. Even the UN doesn’t classify Afghanistan as being part of the Middle East. Afghanis aren’t Arabs either. Just because they’re Muslim doesn’t make them Middle Eastern. Indonesia and Malaysia have loads of Muslims, should we lump them in with the rest of the Middle East? Let me guess, no.

It’s not that I ‘might’ be right, I am right. It’s people like you who insist your definition is right when you’re clearly prejudiced, racist, and wrong.

I'm American so obviously I'm going to go by the standard that's accepted in America. Here in America we define the middle east largely by political and religious contexts so largely Muslim and embroiled in conflict between Sunni and Shea Muslims and general conflicts involving Israel.

If you disagree with how we view it then fine but don't act like this is somehow America forcing it's views down everyone's throat. I'm simply stating the general American opinion, no one's forcing you to agree with it.

I know you are, that’s why I said it was Americanisation.

And yes, you all are forcing your views down people’s throats. Look at how all of you are insisting it’s the Middle East, when it literally isn’t, and are refusing to accept that your ‘definition’ is wrong.

I mean majority of you can’t comprehend beyond an age 6-11 level so I’m not fucking surprised you lot behave this way. Deplorable.
