Arabian Peninsula Research Paper

The Middle East is a region centered on Western Asia and Egypt the region has generally been a major center of world affairs as the major religions of Islam and Christianity and Judaism were also established within the region. The region is made up of 18 countries and has vast reserves of crude oil. In modern times the Middle East remains a strategically, economically, politically, culturally and religiously sensitive region.

The majority of people on Arabia were either Christian or Jewish, Muhammad began getting revelations at the age of 40 years old and believed that he saw and angel in "The Mountain of Light" a cave where he, and his father before him, would go to fast for the month of Ramadan (Pickthall, par. 6). Well in the cave he heard a voice forcefully tell him to read, this is what he read;

According to Isaac Newton, an object will stay at rest unless acted upon by an opposing force when it will begin to move. When the object rejects this force, for a brief moment in time, it is called the moment of inertia, where the object, despite the acting push or pull, remains motionless. Many times, this moment of inertia can be translated into a person’s life as they deal with change, and for some, the moment lasts a life time. Within the collection of short stories entitled Dubliners by James Joyce, the evolution from immaturity to maturity of the main characters begins to show the ultimate timelessness of a paralyzed mentality towards change.

he Middle East is a large and diverse geographical area located in southwest Asia and northeast Africa.

The Middle East is a region of Western Asia and Egypt; some of the countries in this region are Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Iraq. According to Anderson, Seibert & Wagner (2006), this region is of vast geo-economic importance and since ancient times, it has been a center of world affairs. This part matters to almost all superpowers. The geographic factors that contribute to the strategic importance of the Middle East are; trade routes, oil, terrain or geography, ideology, and faith. The Middle East has always been a destination for both tourists and entrepreneurs.

My initial impressions of the Middle East and Northern Africa are they are desolate, poor, and primarily Muslim. Although I know there is an infrastructure in the cities that is not how I viewed the overall majority of these two countries. The terms political unrest and upheaval, also come to mind. When all you see on the news are war torn areas in these countries, the view you come out with is skewed by what the media introduces you to. Many thoughts also run through ones’ head when you ponder what to expect when you approach these countries about business opportunities. I do not believe I am ethnocentric when it comes to other countries and their culture, albeit I have a perception which is stifled and constricted by those skewed views in which we are shown. I also feel there is only two classes, the haves and have nots, if you will. The “haves” living in the cities with an infrastructure, and the “have nots” living in shacks without any of modern day conveniences.

The enemy at the gate is not Russia, it's the Wahhabi's of Saudi Arabia. Those of us who comprehend the intrecit relations among foreign States, are well aware that Prime Minister Cameron is beating the drum of fear when he mentions the Russian Federation. God forbid, the Russian's exert themselves in Ukraine, and some of the other former Soviet Republics. Never mind the fact that the British and Americans continually interfere in the foreign affairs of sovereign nations, and overthrow democratically elected governments who refuse to serve as puppets to the globalists. Countless examples of this exist, including the overthrow of PM Mossadegh of Iran in 1953, as a direct result of the Iranians nationalizing the oil companies.

Yemen is a fairly large country located in the southern end of the Arabian peninsula. In the beginning of the 1900s, North and South Yemen were separate countries and were not united until 1990 when they became the Republic of Yemen (Sana’a, Yemen). North Yemen prior to unification was a part of the Ottoman Empire and South Yemen was under the influence of the British.

Its location between the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea was a key reason why so many civilizations wanted control over the land. It was also a great source for trade routes and sea ports. First occupied by the Minaean Kingdom during the years of (1200-650 B.C.), the kingdom relied on frankincense and spices to gain its wealth. Rome, Ethiopia, and Persia also occupied Yemen before its eventual conversion into an Islamic country. The 9th century marked a turning point for the Yemeni people. This was the first century that the land was ruled by its own dynasty. During this time Yemen was able to create its own type of Arabic Islamic culture. From the 12th century into the mid 19th century the country of Yemen was in constant war with people trying to take over their land to gain better trade routes and take over the Yemen coffee trade that was so heavily depended on during that time. The land was then divided into two countries when the British gained control of the city of Aden and when the Ottomans took over North Yemen. It wasn’t until May 22, 1990 that North and South Yemen merged back together and became The Republic of

The Middle East is by no means a westernized area of the world; however there are staple factors that make it seem “democratized.” Its legitimacy weary, the Middle East is fantastic at growing its governments based on the Medina Constitution. However, there is one particular area of the world that is both deeply religiously rooted and contemporary at the same time. Saudi Arabia has created the impossible through economic, political, and social legitimacy that not only defies western ideology but is accepted as the most modern version of the Middle East using their economic and religious legitimacy. It can be described as a single tribe full of all chiefs and no Indians and as seen as any other Arab country, only

There is an extreme male dominance over the women of Saudi Arabia. The men control the women in government, in education, in society, and even in their own homes. A vast majority of women fight for their rights to break free. The Saudi Arabian women’s restrictions need to be changed before the men overpower the women, which can wistfully turn to domestic abuse or even the women become rebellious and break traditions set out for them.

The Arab Revolt began on June 5th, 1916. The goal of this revolt was for the Arabic people to break free of the Ottoman rule. The Arabic people wanted more Arabic education to be taught in the empire. Along with that, they wanted to follow their religion, Arabic, and be able to serve in the Ottoman government. This was not heard of in the Ottoman Empire, because everyone had to be Islamic to serve in the government. Therefore, the Arabs felt that they should fight back in order to get what they wanted.
