Osama is Asian!

Osama bin Laden is Asian (and so is everyone from Middle East). It is true since Osama is Saudi Arabian and Arabian Peninsular is part of Asia Continent.
If u find it hard to believe, then u don’t know what ‘ASIA’ means because some media use ‘Asia’ wrongly or loosely, misleading their viewers i.e. you.
Asians should know what ‘Asia’ TRULY IS rather than blindly follow what US media or US styled media (including a local based channel) have led us to wrongly believe that Asia is merely only East Asia, SE Asia & South Asia, (sometimes even ridiculously adding in Australia/NZ – confusing Asia with ‘Asia-Pacific’ region).
Frequently we hear East, SE Asia, South Asia (and Central Asia), ever wonder where is West Asia and North Asia?
‘Middle east’ is in geographically/politically defined as South-west Asia (or West Asia). Remember/notice SW Asia nations taking part in ASIAN GAMES (Asia’s Olympics) and SW Asian nations like Iran, Kuwait , Saudi Arabia also fighting for the 4 Asian spots for Soccer’s World Cup Finals? Egypt is frequently ALSO considered as ‘Middle East’ because it also occupies a small area in SW Asia - Sinai Peninsular. (However, Egypt is officially considered an African country).
In SW Asia, Turkey is mostly in Asia i.e. all land on the east side of Istanbul; west Istanbul and land further west is Considered Europe. Russia occupies all of North Asia i.e. land east of Ural Mountains until it reaches Pacific Ocean in North-east Asia.
However, Turkey and Russia chose to be join ‘European’ organizations despite being part of both Europe and Asia. -

You mean you didn't know Middle East is part of Asia?
Great scots, you better study your geography hard, man. Even worst, I think this was suppose to be learnt during primary school social studies.

i play Risk. I know where is Asia, and i believe so does virtually everyone else here. . .
just a suggestion:
maybe can change the direction of this topic to tell us how the media should NOT try to portray Middle East as outside of Asia like you said, rather than telling us where is Asia's boundaries. . . -
wow. the middle east is part of asia. i feel so enlightened! And for those of us who are a little slow on the uptake, maybe you'd like to explain what this has got to do with anything...

if u take it this way, then a lot of things also don't mean anything to u - There 4 even if u are a normal man or lady, when i wrongly proclaim that u are transvestite to the public ( no offence to real trans out there), i guess u would not be upset at all right?Originally posted by Mazohyst:wow. the middle east is part of asia. i feel so enlightened!
