about places in the Middle Eastern? Places where women are property or treated like they are not as worthy to live a good life with respect and freedom of will. In 2015 studies showed that the women's work rate was at 25% and that women made up 49.7% of about 345.5 million people in the Middle East and North Africa region, yet they are still given very few rights.

The timeline of events and developments in the Middle East from 1979 to the present are important pieces in a jigsaw puzzle that go to make up U.S. foreign policy in that part of the world.

It is interesting how, today, Muslims in the Middle East have a strained relationship with Jewish people. Despite the Quran’s teachings that “any who believe in God, and act righteously… have nothing to fear,” Middle Eastern Jews are under consistent threat from the powerful Islamic forces around them.
