Many of the problems in the Middle East today are a direct result of actions undertaken in the region 's colonial past. I will argue that both imperialist ineptitude, deliberate meddling and outright deceit by colonial powers have sown seeds of distrust that linger in the Middle East today towards the West. I will claim that artificial boundaries, government structures and societal schisms created in colonial times have entrenched animosities and created internal structural instabilities in the area

The foundation for the surgical practices of modern western medicine can easily be traced back to the crusader interaction with the Arabs. The fact that Al-Zahrawi’s work is still even the slightest bit relevant to modern western surgical practices is evidence of this. It can be said that if the crusades not happened, then western surgical practices could have remained stagnant and inferior to the practices throughout the rest of the world. The hospital system throughout early medieval Europe was

In the debate for democracy in the middle east, many scholars suggest that Islamists are the main obstacle to overcome. By the last decade, Islamist parties and candidates have engaged in elections throughout in about eight Arab countries with almost modest results.

The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham is a terrorist organization that began as Al-Qaeda in Iraq. Since Al-Sham can mean Syria or the Levant, media and governments usually refer to them as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL); some use the derogatory name Daesh in order to avoid recognizing the group’s claims. The Islamic State declared themselves a caliphate with Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi becoming Caliph Ibrahim. He claims authority over all

Anti-Assad Regime 4. Saudi Arabia In Syria, Saudi Arabia want the Assad regime to fall in order to put in a Sunni Arab regime friendly to Saudi interests. They’re forcefully in support of the USA prospect of military action. Saudi Arabia’s obsession has been Iran. Both powers have their own spheres of influence, and are locked in a battle for regional hegemony. So they see the downfall of the Assad regime as a decisive blow against Iran’s government. Saudi Arabia has transformed this desire into

My partner, Naeem Mohammad, and I met on December 9. During our last meeting together, we drove around St. Louis and had dinner at Raising Cane’s, while talking about college system and family. Again, Naeem has greatly improved his English since our last meeting on November 18th. We were able to talk more in detail about the Saudi Arabian college system and family back in Saudi Arabia. This parallels a development breakthrough in my revival of Chinese: Siri can recognize me speaking in Chinese.

The Unknown What don't people know? People don’t know or understand many things. People first make a judgment about someone or something.

The war has led to countries taking sides depending on the interests of their leaders and the country as a whole. In the process countries from Europe, America and Asia have entered into a union that they deem fit to promote their agendas (G. Friedman 2017). This union is what is now known as the axis 1 geopolitics. Even though the countries may have different individual

Kuwait Diplomacy Over the twentieth century there has always been a struggle of power within the middle east, and particularly between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. Amongst the nations in the Arabian Peninsula, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has always been at the most power and influential country. Saudi Arabia and Iran were always polar opposites of each other.
