Well obviously you don't know anything about Turkey. For starters its not in the middle east nor is the culture middle eastern. At worst its in between Europe and Asia.
Well of course now fiddly and gang will come in making up all sort of crap but because it has a sizable Muslim population.
Eh...what?
Turkey is generally considered in the geographical Middle East, even though Turks aren't considered Arabs like a majority of the Middle East population. Iran's considered a part of the Middle East too even though Iran's population is not majority Arab either.
As another example, Egypt is also commonly considered a part of the Middle East even though only the Sinai Peninsula is a part of Asia, with most of Egypt being in Africa proper.
I'm not sure why you're being a dick to stratos over this, especially since, you know, he's not actually wrong.
