Did the Nazis try to persecute and kill Jews in the Middle East and North Africa? When the Nazis moved down to the North Africa region, there were several smaller Jewish communities at the time in the area. I heard the Nazis tried to make these Jews wear special badges indicating they were Jews like they made the Jews in Europe wear, and persecute and kill them or get the local Arabs/Muslims to help in persecuting them. Is this true and what exactly did they do to the Jews in the Middle East and Africa when they came in contact with them? Were they ever sent to any extermination camps?

Why are people from the Middle East & North Africa classified as White in the U.S. Census? As a White American male myself(of Italian&Portuguese ancestry) the only people I consider White are the people of Europe(Italy,Spain,Germany,France,Portugal,etc.,as well as people throughout the world who are of non-racially mixed European ancestry!)When I see an Arab or any other Middle Easterner,I see a non-White individual,most if not all of the people from the Middle East and North Africa are racially mixed with Black!

why wont americans visit north africa or middle east? if i had the money i would visit egypt or iran to see how rich there culture is. I think if a lot of people who are rich in america who went to these countries will find out that these people are not a threat to america. they will also learn something about islam. you americans might even see that the mosques are drenched in lots of colors. i personally seen pictures of mosques and they are more difficult then building churches. what i dont get is americans refuse to visit a muslim country in middle east or north africa because they are racist and afraid since the american media shows always negative stuff about the islam world. I also do not get why americans always bash the islam religion but refuse to visit a muslim restaurant in america. plus what would you do if satan if you dont believe him or not come and destroy your country. would you sit and allow the evil being destroy your country or will go against satan and do anything necesary to get rid of him and his occupiers. to go back to the question i think you will see that the media is wrong sbout iran and its people and the other countries in north africa or middle east mature adults answer this please!!!!!!!!!! 20-100 years old and i can tell you nothing will happen to you if you visit iran or another middle east country. so americans bombing mosques and killing muslims is alright shame on usa. you americans must truly be brainwashed by the media. and by the waywhen the americans bombed iraq they created terrorism. hi am a christian who critizes the far right chrisitans.
English speaking universities in North Africa or the Middle East? I am looking to get my masters (in the social sciences) in the next year or so and would like to study at an English speaking university in either North Africa or the Middle East. I know of American Universities of Cairo, Beirut and Dubai, but are there any other good options?
What were some of the survival strategies used by inhabitants of the Middle East & North Africa long, long ago? Studying many ancient cultures, I can understand fairly well how they were able to survive, despite the many hardships they may have faced. For example, inhabitants of Latin America, southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, India, and parts of Africa usually had access to fruit, fungi, vegetables and an abundance of wildlife, shade from trees, and lots of water on a regular basis. I have recently moved to Egypt and an completely awestruck at the desert here. It is a beautiful place, but so imposing. I have a lot of respect for the ancient Arab people who inhabited deserts, and a lot of that respect comes from wondering exactly how they did it. It's difficult for me to find any info on how people who lived in regions like this got their water, grew their food, what they ate, and how they traveled. They had to have been very brave, venturing out into those sand dunes and not knowing if they'd ever find an oasis. By the way, I know that the early Egyptians settled along the Nile and used its delta as their farmland, and that the ancient Mesopotamians used various agricultural techniques like irrigation... but I'm mainly wondering about the nomadic bedouin, berber, arabs, tuareg etc.
middle east and north africa!? Islam is the predominant religion in every country in the Middle East and North Africa except for ____________ and ____________. Israel and Cyprus Israel and Lebanon Morocco and Yemen Israel and Turkey
Why does the US have a higher AIDS rate than Canada, all of Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Asia? We also have a higher or equal rate to most South American countries. Japan has the lowest rate among all of the major countries. Why is this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:HIV_Epidem.png "Africa" is a big continent. Some places in the South hav very high rates. The countries in the North and East are very low, mainly due to Islam. Why are people calling me a liberal? This is little to do with liberal vs conservative. It was an honest question, but I guess most people here are just too used to arguing and name calling. Do you not understand the term RATE?
experiences of foreign exchange to middle east or africa? I'm a 5'3" slender white girl and am planning to go either to Egypt to learn Arabic or Tajikistan to learn Farsi, so I will stick out badly against the locals. If you or a friend have ever been to the middle east or north eastern Africa (either on vacation or foreign exchange) please share your experience with me, so I know what to expect as far as friendliness of the people, day to day life, how safe you felt, and your overall impression. Thanks!

How would I go about joining a monastery in North Africa or the Middle East? For a long time I've lost interest in the things that so many place so much value in. Money, cars, sex, and properties non give me the peace that I need. Speaking and learning about God and Jesus gives me the pleasure, questions and answers that make me feel at peace. If anyone has any information to my question please let me know. Thank you.

When will Muslims give the Middle East, Turkey and North Africa back? They kind of just rode in on horses with swords and forced their religion on the Berber, Copt, Jewish, Assyrian, Greek and many other groups of people (most of them Christian). Shouldn't they just apologize and give it back. We were able to get Spain, Portugal, Italy and most of the Balkans back but can we have the rest back? The Crusades tried to reclaim parts of this but failed. Also, how do complain about the Crusades when we were just trying to protect Christians in the Middle East that were being forcefully converted or slaughtered. Research "Urban's Call". Also, HOW did they manage to take over all that land in just 100 years? 2/3 of the Christian world, all of the Hindu world and large parts of pagan Africa. That would be pretty impressive if it weren't so brutal. What are you talking about William? Read some history. Muhammad created islam in about 620 AD. That is not very old at all on the world scale. Some Muslims claim Jewish and Christian history as Muslim history but there is no evidence for that. Sorry. You're right that Christians have not always been pacifists but for the first 4 centuries they were. Jesus was a peaceful teacher who started a peaceful religion, if some people failed to follow his teaching that is their fault not His. When was Islam peaceful? Muhammad beheaded 800 Jews in a day according to their own "holy" texts. Not that peaceful Pagans? The Irish were converted completely peacefully by St. Patrick and still celebrate that every year. I don't think they want to go back. After the Irish converted they sent monks (pacifists) out to the Germanic, Celtic, and Viking tribes and were able to convert all of them in a very short time historically speaking. Read How the Irish Saved Civilization.
Any good middle eastern and north african dance styles? I'm a male and I am fascinated with the culture of the middle east and north africa. Are there any good dance styles from that region that are somewhat masculine and that you could perform by yourself in a resturaunt or club? We all know of belly dancing and I read somewhere that many men in those regions (especially Turkey) still belly dance. The problem is my mom doesn't want me to be belly dancing so is there any style that is just as amazing and dazzling as belly dancing but performed by men. Also, if you have any links to sites that have information or show how to perform the dance style, please post them. Thank y'all so much. BTW, I'm already aware of the stick dance and whirling dervishes and those aren't as fun to watch as a belly dancer. I also know about moroccan tray dancing, but I can't find any information on it.
How was Islam spread across north africa....? How did the religion of Islam spread from the middle east, across north africa and throughout Spain in such a short period of time?

Is Sudan considered a part of north africa? I need to know to answer my race on my job resume. Read inside? Okay so my job resume is asking me about my race and stuff and I have two options: White - (not of Hispanic origin) - All persons having origins in any of the orginal peoples of Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East (Examples: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, etc.). Black - (not of Hispanic origin) - All persons having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. Im from northern sudan (some call it southern egypt.) What should I put?
Is the AIDS rate in the MENA lower than in the EU? That is, is the AIDS rate in the Middle East/North Africa (the Islamic world) lower than the AIDS rate in Europe. I know that they're pretty risque in Europe, even having legalized prostitution, and that they're exactly the opposite in Islamdom, but I'm wondering if it isn't just more 'hush hush' in Muslim nations. The litmus test for their *true* sexual morals lies in their AIDS/STD rate. Does anyone have any info or links on this?
This is outrageous!! What has happened to democracy and free speech? Today in the UK, two men are facing charges of "using words likely to incite racial hatred" for daring to criticise the failed experiment of multiculturalism, and describing the religion of Islam as a “wicked faith”; a charge which seems utterly ludicrous in the context of all that has been perpetrated in the name of Allah at home and abroad in recent years, never mind the centuries of conflict and bloodshed in the Middle East, North Africa, Iberia and the Balkans. For daring to stand up and tell the truth about the threat in our midst the two accused could face up to seven years in prison in a court in a supposed western democracy where “the truth is no defence" (the law states that "the truth is no defence" when charged with race related "crimes"). Part of their alleged "crime" was to state the risk of a possible terrorist attack by asylum seekers and 2nd generation Muslims. These words were proved true by the 7/7 bomb attacks in London last year. What is your opinion? SOURCE:- http://www.bnp.org.uk/news_detail.php?newsId=1221
Do Americans really believe there are no black African people in North Africa? Egypt is an African country? Egypt is Northeast of Africa which is clearly not in the Middle East. However, many uneducated Americans feel North Africa is a Middle Eastern country. Arabs and Middle Easterners have migrated to Northern Africa and even started families with African people over there through years!...making parts of Egypt a mixed country. Honestly, Is that plain ignorance to feel North Africa contains no black origins? These are the Egyptian people TODAY..Click below: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amrabdallah/527692280/ http://www.dogon-lobi.ch/egyptalbum.htm
is there any safe place to visit in middle east? I'll be travelling by water. probably I'll go with a sailing ship to get some experience in sailing. I'm going from europe to north america and then to asia. so then there are two ways to europe through middle east/africa, or if I go to north east and take a train through russia to get to europe, or maybe I could take an icebreaker to see the north pole and then go back to europe. well if I go through middle east to get to europe, then I could visit something there too, cause I've seen ads about exotic places in middle east. they look really nice, but I'm wondering which places are safe and which should I avoid? and please, no offensive comments about middle east.
Why do they say Middle East? If there is a Middle East where is the Middle north south and west it is clearly just part of Africa and my teacher said that even modern day technology cant figure how the pyramids were built which made Europeans say Africans couldnt have built them because their not that smart hence seperating The area from the rest of Africa by calling it the Middle East

Why do liberals and Islamic apologists, always use the Crusades as an example of Christian agression? At the beginings of Islam, the entire Middle East was Christian. Islam conquered the Middle East, North Africa, Spain and most of the Byzantine Empire through war and subjugation and dhimmitude. It was only after their invasion of the Byzantine Empire that the Byzantine emperor pleaded with Pope Urban II for help. That is how the crusades came about. They were not unprovoked attacks on innocent Muslims, but a defensive reaction to centuries of Islamic aggression. This is real history that you can look up for yourself.
