Talk:Mashriq

message: Dear IP 68.43.242.130 , Jordan is usually considered to be part of the Mashriq, and so is Palestine as an Arab region (before Israel came along).  In fact, in medieval times, the eastern half of Libya (Cyrenaica) was sometimes considered to be part of the Mashreq, so that the Maghreb was considered to begin in Western Libya (Tripolitania). Please don't remove valid info from the article. AnonMoos 14:43, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Is the Mashreq commonly meant to include Arabia proper? So far, my understanding had been that this term used the astronomical descriptor to conveniently divide the Arab world into two halves, one Asiatic and one African, separated by the Red Sea and the Suez/Sinai region. Is this assumption accurate? // Big Adamsky • BA's talk page 21:27, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No it doesn't usually include Arabia, and (as written above) sometimes historically (but not usually currently) Egypt was included in the Mashreq (since the deserts west of the Nile are a significant ecological barrier).  I would guess that it refers basically to the post-conquest territories. AnonMoos 22:12, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: It includes Egypt and everything east of it - including the Arabian Peninsula. I don't believe the Arab League calls the GCC region the "Persian Gulf". see Contact and Language Conflict in Arabic: Variations on a Sociolinguistic Theme, By Aleya Rouchdy, Published by Routledge, 2002, ISBN 0700713794, page 153 and Development: From Dependence to Self-reliance in the Arab Region, By Yusif A.

thread_title:  Merge with [[Middle East]] 

message: I omitted the "Sources and Links" section because it contained only two links to the results of a Google Books search with key phrase "mashriq+judaism." These searches weren't referenced in the text and it was unclear how they related to the article (except that the article's title appeared in the key phrase).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.133.202.87 (talk) 10:40, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

This should be
"This comprises the countries ..." 
or
"This is composed of the countries ..."

thread_title:  Correct word usage 

message: Considering how short this  article is, why isn't it included in the article that references it, which is about the Arabic alphabet.  Alternatively, why doesn't it cover all the issues raised in the Maghrebian article?
