Surely you masturbate in your contemplations of an Egyptless Africa. Does the racist mind ever rest? Perhaps we should remove Greece from Europe and place it in Asia as Europe, georgraphically, does not exist. This question of where Egypt exist or should exist seems to be mostly a question of White and Arab men, neither of whom are the original inhabitants of the land or generators of its phenomenal legacy. The Legacy is African, created by African men and women. While you chew on that consider this: Before the 19th century, geographers generally referred to Europe as Christendom. Perhaps a better conversation might be how in the world did what is essentially a peninsula (Europe) on the vast Eurasian continent ever come to gain the status of a CONTINENT when in fact its shape, size and location tells us its a peninsula? When we review Tim, Pat and Gregs questions within the context of white Supremacy they become quite disrespectful to the whole of African history. But, this is likely not a consideration within the minds of supremist. Drop the racism/supremism and stop trying to steal yet another land from people of color. |

Exactly which countries are in the Middle East is not always clear-cut. Some definitions of the region say that includes Cyprus, the Asian part of Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, the countries of the Arabian peninsula (Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait), and Egypt and Libya. Others apply it in a cultural sense to denote the part of the world that is predominantly Islamic, expanding the definition to include the rest of North Africa along with Pakistan and Afghanistan. Another definition says it is the area bordering the southern and eastern coasts of the Mediterranean Sea. The term has also been dismissed as a Eurocentrism, since the region is only east from the perspective of western Europe. But by any definition, Egypt is generally considered as part of the Middle East, though other North African nations may not be. |

Egypt is a country in North Africa. The main religion is islam. The main language is Arabic. Egypt has a christian (kopts) minority. The British protectorate of Egypt became independent in 1922. It was part of the United Arab Republic from 1958 until 1961 and was renamed Egypt in 1971. The country is now a presidential republic where despite democratic structures there is no fair chance for the opposition. |
