Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The Middle East is a historical and political region of Afro-Eurasia with no clear boundaries!. The term "Middle East" was popularized around 1900 in the United Kingdom; it has a loose definition traditionally encompassing countries or regions in Western Asia and parts of North Africa!.

That is a pretty vast area with many different nations/cultures and religions!. Though I am assuming you are directing this question towards Middle Eastern Arabs!.

I feel the greatest stereotype is that of Islam and practicing Muslims!. That they are somehow terrorists due to the actions of the radical Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and many others!.

Knight11!.!.:Yes, Many Arabs are very wealthy due to the production and extraction of oil in their country!. The United Arab Emirates is one such country that uses this money to build massive business buildings and recreational venues!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Many in the Middle East are so rich that it's almost as if money grows on trees for them the way they spend it!. Making their own islands, building immense indoor ski resorts, looking at things like that really makes you say someone's got way too much money for their own good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The middle east is full of religious radicals, there are no rights for women, the government is corrupt and wealthy and the citizens are dirt poor!.

I don't think people from the middle east are terrorists!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
