            Geography lessons are over...

            You missed that part.
            While Asia may encompass over 1/4 of the world does not mean its minor sections are not to be classified as other regions.

            Be sure to consult with your local library on Nations affiliated with the middle East in the Geography section and those within the whole of Asia. But since your so desperate to get an edge in this discussion I never said Jordan was NOT in "Asia". Not to mention off subject in a desperate move to twist the facts I have put before you.
            Jordan is a Middle Eastern Nation within Asia as a whole. Though my educated mind believes that Jordan and China really have nothing in common along with Vietnam, Malasia, Singapore, India and Japan.

              As an example...

              lol

              just for your reference: Middle East is a part of Asia. There are 6 major regions of the world: Europe, Asia, America, Africa, Antarctida and Australia&Oceania.

                        Could be, but you are one of those dumb ass idiots who thinks Middle East is a continent.

                                    I've heard that some people work while others are making thousands of posts on gfy talking that all arabs must die except those ones who live in USA.

                                      This raises a valid point. The US got bashed because it didn't give enough (although I wonder how much it costs the US to have an Aircraft Carrier Batter Group on station on a daily basis)......

                                      Why hasn't other countries in the Middle East given money? While I'm bluring the lines here a bit, why hasn't Egypt, Syria, Pakastan, Jordan, and India coughed up some money?

                                      Isn't Indonesia one of the biggest Muslim areas in the world?

                                        Thats the Irony I am trying to point out. Some of these delusional dimwits would rather talk about Jordan being a part of Asia. Let me know if any people on Jordan land saw the tsunami when it happened.

                                                the common problem for most americans is that you don't know anything about the world outside US, but you think you do.

                                                India is one of the countries suffered from tsunami. Syria, Pakistan, Egypt - they don't have millions dollars to share. but it doesn't mean they do not help though. maybe your tv just forgot to tell you about that.

                                                      So your saying the people of those countries are all broke and cant afford it?
                                                      I call bullshit.

                                                      If elements of those countries can fund terrorists to mobilise against The United States and the nations that benefit the world then they can actually help.

                                                      However throughout history Islamic nations have held steadfast to the principal of there laws and won't ever help people in need. It is a creed of Strict Islamic Law not to help those in need but to help those in need under salvation with the promis to place faith in Allah.

                                                      I do hope a realisation occurs in people that read this.
                                                      The realisation is the fact that the "Co-exhistance" in Islamic law does not exhist, and that is why Arabic/Muslim nations have no future.

The elements of rogue nations are in control, A Countries failure to control there own people is simply an excuse in the eyes of all humanity. The laws of those countries do not permit compassion for the suffering.

                                                                                Many of these countries, most of them in fact, are secular. Aside from Iran (correct me if I'm wrong) there are no "Islamic countries" in the Middle East, at least not Islamic governments. Maybe you should check to see what the Red Crescent has done. I haven't checked, and maybe they've done nothing. Maybe they've done alot. My point is simply that you need to think of these countries as secular countries, not religious ones. And given that fact, it is not possible to make a valid connection regarding moral obligation to help other muslims, at least not at the government level.

                                                                                That being said, the United States government does something that I think is even greater than giving aid -- which is to keep as low a profile as it is possible to keep about giving that aid. In other words, the US government doesn't appear to be into the whole kudos thing when it comes to this. They see a chance to help people in need and they do it without bragging all over the place. That's the real contribution, IMHO.

                                                                                By the way, Islam is actually a very peaceful religion as practiced by the VAST majority of it's adherents. Comparing the actions of a few idiotic hotheads with guns to Islam as a whole is exactly like pointing at the KKK and saying it represents Christianity.

I can't say thal I like muslims, but I can understand why they don't like you.

Aside from Iran (correct me if I'm wrong) there are no "Islamic countries" in the Middle East, at least not Islamic governments. Maybe you should check to see what the Red Crescent has done. I haven't checked, and maybe they've done nothing. Maybe they've done alot. My point is simply that you need to think of these countries as secular countries, not religious ones. And given that fact, it is not possible to make a valid connection regarding moral obligation to help other muslims, at least not at the government level.

                                                                                          By the way, Islam is actually a very peaceful religion as practiced by the VAST majority of it's adherents. Comparing the actions of a few idiotic hotheads with guns to Islam as a whole is exactly like pointing at the KKK and saying it represents Christianity.

The British had a lot to do with this during the waning years of their colonial period. In addition, some of these borders were also altered arbitrarily by the most powerful world leaders after the close of WWI. Culturally and politically (from and Arab point of view that is) the borders make almost no sense. Moreover, it has been in almost every other nation's perceived self interest to deter the creation of Muslim states.

                                                                                                  Given these circumstances, I fail to see how "Arab Nations" can be held accountable through the paradigm of Islamic unity in the relief effort. It's a sexy argument, but ultimately a specious one.

                                                                                                  Maybe it would be better to examine the actions of Iran in this relief effort than to throw all Arab governments into one pile and light it on fire.

That is a oxymoron, Muslims do not commit suicide and suicide is condemned in the Quran. People in every religion have a person or a group of people who use religion to form their own social norms for their personal benefit.

Aside from Iran (correct me if I'm wrong) there are no "Islamic countries" in the Middle East, at least not Islamic governments. Maybe you should check to see what the Red Crescent has done. I haven't checked, and maybe they've done nothing. Maybe they've done alot. My point is simply that you need to think of these countries as secular countries, not religious ones. And given that fact, it is not possible to make a valid connection regarding moral obligation to help other muslims, at least not at the government level.

                                                                                                    By the way, Islam is actually a very peaceful religion as practiced by the VAST majority of it's adherents. Comparing the actions of a few idiotic hotheads with guns to Islam as a whole is exactly like pointing at the KKK and saying it represents Christianity.

He left out: "That being said, the United States government does something that I think is even greater than giving aid -- which is to keep as low a profile as it is possible to keep about giving that aid. In other words, the US government doesn't appear to be into the whole kudos thing when it comes to this. They see a chance to help people in need and they do it without bragging all over the place. That's the real contribution, IMHO."

                                                                                                    It seems, like most America-bashers, that Darklord has a selective conscience.
