Agreed. At the same time though i see that denmark at least tries its best to make them integrate as fully as possible. Of course not every single one of them (unfortunately) is willing to integrate. I'm worried, specially considering that denmark (i live here) has always been regarded as a safe country and people are not used to immigrants not willing to assimilate with europe (for example in italy we are used to that...unfortunately). We'll see the future.... I don't like this insane wave of non european immigration, but at least i hope most of them will integrate and learn danish values. I'm italian and i came here a while ago, but since the first days i have started studying the danish language, learning the danish values and i always have the deepest admiration and respect for what i believe is the best country in the world (denmark). I also have the most sincere respect for the danish lifestyle, laws and culture, but i'm not so arrogant to label myself as one of them because i'll always be an outsider in their eyes, and i can understand that. I have always adored denmark since i was little and people here really appreciate when you're willing to integrate fully into their amazing and rich culture.

After being Danish, French, Italians and so on, we are Europeans. We all share the same core culture. All of us are either secular or christian. We can all eat pork and drink alcohol, doesn't matter if it's beer, wine or vodka, we all CAN and usually do it. We CAN legally migrate between countries as if someone moves from state to state in the US. I would never label myself as a Dane because I'm not one of them (although I could pass as one of them). Point being made is that we Europeans get along with each other and cherish each other's cultures and that it's what the EU should be all about, a Union that serve us, the Europeans, not the whole damn World, especially the Middle East. We have many historic examples both in the West and East of Europe that we do NOT get along with islam unless if we are being subjugated by it.

Imagine calling yourself "National Geographic" and not knowing what the Middle East means. Where is Egypt in this? You do know that the middle east is a transcontinental region that includes countries in multiple continents, right? That is why we call it "Middle East" instead of "western Asia" because the region is not just exclusive to western Asia. "The Middle East is a transcontinental region centered on Western Asia, Turkey (both Asian and European), and Egypt (which is mostly in North Africa)"

Artefacts are a tribute to the people who built and cherished them, and when you destroy all artefacts you destroy the physical history of those people. This is a beautiful series and I am not educated enough to make a value judgment about the Middle East but all I can say is that I wish for peace, tolerance, and justice for all.

when I first went the Middle East my cousin and I entered from Bulgaria. I had been reading Middle East history since I was in primary school, a historical figure I admire the most is a Muslim. When we entered Turkey, my first visit to a Muslim country I was so exited I went around and shook every body attending the border by the hand, they must have thought I was a bit crazy. Later on in Syria, we came to the Euphrates River. We stopped before crossing, I hopped out of the car and just stared at the river, it was like a religious experience.

I appreciate that they use the word Cedar as a revolutionary word in Lebanon, seeing as - long, long ago - Cedar of Lebanon was known throughout the developed ancient world. Particularly in Egypt. Obviously it wasn't all that they were known for, but I'd imagine if you were to mention Lebanon to an Ancient Greek or Egyptian, they'd think of luxury and, at the time, revolutionary Cedar wood. Edit - Also, I'm from Philly, so the reference to Philly cheesesteaks as culture made me happy. Carry on.

Israel has existed for thousands of years. Read a history book, wikipedia, anything.

Lol Kuwait has no history. Wanna at least a tiny bit about kuwait? they are Bedouin tribes that have been roaming the desert for centuries then settled near a matter source. There you go that is a history lesson. Just saying I'm not surprised you learn about WW2 instead of anything kuwaiti related.

Kuwait is the first Gulf country to have cars, cinemas and the first to own an astronomy observatory. Even before the discovery of oil people were very hard working, Kuwaitis were very good at building ships and collecting pearls and catching fish, and trading with India and Persia, it still has the most distinguished Arabic dialect in the Gulf due to trades with Persia and India. The sea was so important to Kuwaitis that a ship is actually the symbol in Kuwait's national emblem (look it up). Kuwait is also the first Gulf country to make TV shows and still has the most famous actors in the Gulf. Kuwait used to be called the pearl of Gulf, although UAE is much better today, Kuwait still holds the title for the highest currency in the world, 1 KWD = 3.3 USD.

I bet your one of those people who are so butt hurt that we have our own country. Oh and btw our history goes as far back as Mesopotamian rule of failaka 3000 bc, then Alexander the Great where failaka was renamed ikarus. Main difference between Iraq and Kuwait is that Kuwait forwards in development after the Mesopotamians, while Iraq went backwards in development... sad.

Nope, i'm not butthurt. I'm sorry to tell you that. But Iraq is a artificial and foreign creation, carved up into its current shape to fulfil the interests of the colonial powers, "MUST" of the the modern day inhabitants of Iraq has no links with the ancient civilization.

Reminds me of Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, and his color pictures of the Russian Empire from 1905-1915

UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait are like 5x richer than America back then!
