I haven't really been able to keep up or care about what's been going on in the Middle East other than some big headlines because to me it all seems like a big mish mash of a shithole and it doesn't seem to be getting better and the news every day isn't that much different. Explosions. Terrorists. U.S. soldiers abusing people there.Car bombings. Tampered elections. etc. Can someone give me a decent rundown of what's going on?

Answer
Nothing productive has been going on, that's for sure. Gaza suffered the recent war at the hands of Israel. Iranian elections happened in which Ahmadenijad won, but some think it was rigged. Lebanon also had parlimentary elections, the March 14 party won majority. I think the US wants to impose more sanctions on Syria. Iraq is still suffering at the hands of US occupations, as well as Afghanistan. Pakistan is currently at war with the Taliban. Nothing much happening in Jordan, or the Gulf countries. Same with the North African Arab countries. You're not really missing much.

Muslims, How do you feel that your precious women are going to start.. gulp.. driving cars?
