- barabba 4y agoI don’t see why that would be a stretch at all.
- throwntoday 4y agoBecause you appear to be using middle-east as a catch-all for any predominantly muslim area.
- barabba 4y agoHow so? 1) The stretch in the comment I replied to was referring to calling the area below the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul as belonging to Eurasia. I simply pointed out there is no stretch in there, since it does objectively belong to Eurasia, which unlike Middle-East is far of a more settled geographical definition. 2) In my other comment you are probably referring to, I simply pointed out that the definition of "Middle East" is not set in stone, and it might include the area in question. You can double check, if you don't believe me. I never came up with my own definition of it, and I definitely would not have tossed Indonesia in there.
