The Middle East

The Middle East is a current hot spot. In fact, it has been a hot spot since the creation of the United States, and the gradual fall of the Ottoman Empire. In addition, it is the location of most of the scenes in the Bible. (Some of the New Testament takes place in Europe, and some of the Old Testament takes place at an unknown location, particularly, parts of Genesis.)

I do not claim to be an expert on this area of the world. But I have written some comments about that area of the world.

One of the real problems in that most people do not recognize the first statement of the last paragraph. That is, they claim expertise where none is justified. Or, as often as not, people claim expertise, but ignore the fact that the inhabitance of that area of the world are people, just like everyone else.
