Depends on who you're talking to, some consider it as part due to cultural similarities. The ambiguity of what is 'the middle east' is part of the racism towards the area according to some of the middle east history classes I've had
yeah and it's pretty culturally distinct, they just want to lump muslim countries together. it's as "middle eastern" as pakistan, turkmenistan, or uzbekistan. it's like saying austria is a balkan country
most yanks seem to think afghans and iranians are arab, too
Austria is in a certain sense a Balkan country.
balkan bavarians
Austria is Balkan though. It's part of greater Albania
