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

How would they have differed in opinion? Also, what were the perspectives of Western Europe and the Middle East on the Crusades? 10 points for best answer! Extra points for full sentances! Asked by BUD - Tue Dec 11 23:19:08 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Obviously both sides had a pretty different take on what was going on. The first Crusade was declared by Pope Urbain II at the behest of emperor Alexius of the Byzantine Empire who was getting trampled by the Seljuk Turks. The pope urged Europeans to put their differences aside for once and reclaim the Kingdom of God. He stated that all those who went would be forgiven for their sins and gain entry to paradise ( Sounds very familiar..hmm lol). Many smaller European princes who were in search of glory would head out and try to make a name for themselves. Others seeking salvation and fortune would use this as an opportunity. The Kings of Europe at the time could not afford to let anyone else gain glory without them so they volunteered.

Q. I've heard you can make way better money if you work for a year in the middle east. What is the best paying job over there that doesnt require a college degree? Asked by luvs2spooge - Wed May 21 22:01:29 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Thats a pretty big question that I doubt could be anything but a guess. There are some great jobs in the middle Eats right now for nearly all trades particularly building trades or metal trades. Anything that you can teach locals will be valued. Try the websites of some of the big construction contractors, Worley Parsons, Parsons Brinckerhoff and others. You should find heaps. Good luck, Jackson.
