When I think of the Middle East (Horn of Africa, Caucasus, Northern Africa)...

Hi! So, I have like one friend from the Middle east, and he's a nice guy. I don't grill him on this culture a lot because I didn't think it would be polite. I work in customer service and talk with all kinds of people all day, and I found there is good and bad in every culture. It's kinda nice having that window! So these are just a few things I think of when I think of the Middle East(about the lesbian comment, I don't care if you are one. I just know there are a lot of smart-mouths on the net, so I was addressing them). I also think of Mesopotamia, the Pyramids at Giza, flesh-eating spiders, bartering, Mummies, the tower of Bable, Sheiks, and lots more. Point is, not every American immediately jumps to terrorism, and every culture has nifty items to contribute. Peace!

Horn of Africa is not part of the Middle East. It in Africa.

[shalindriaharam]

@cbluver22 look up Middle East on wikipedia and you'll see why it was included.

Also, the people that you may see in Western Africa, and parts of Southern Africa are indigenous to all parts of Africa. Through wars and colonization, and white mans greed, Africans hue has change over the centuries. DO THE KNOWLEDGE!

Well there's no such land as the "middle east"; there's Africa then there's Asia.

The land section in Asia called "Jerusalem" used to be apart of Africa until white man started laying boundaries, and excavating the land, and erosion probably helped to separate it as well. The people that you see in North Africa, and parts of Eastern Africa (egypt, sudan, somalia, eritrea, ethiopia, etc) arent indigenous to that land at all, contrary to ignorant opinion.

I like ur video but just a few corrections. Did u know that Israel and the whole Middle East is in Africa? If u know anything about geographic plates, the so-called middle east or israel sits on the African plate. But some genius came up with the term middle east to confuse u and me

Anways great video and you touch upon sme good points, bless.

@shalindriaharam The reason why they include somalia part of the 'middle east' is because it's a muslim nation and it's in the arabic league. wikipedia is wrong and not a trusted source as anyone with a agenda can log in and chamge the entrance to suit their interest. So just to clear it up somalia is not in the middle east nor is north african nations.

I'm from the Horn of Africa, not the Horn of Arabia. I don't blame you, but you should understand that many organizations including the U.S. veterans groups and colleges don't use Wikipedia because it can be edited by anyone without verification. It's not a trustworthy site.
