I just joined this site so forgive me for such a question that may come simple to others. But I notice that people that are from Islamic Countries are directed towards Mena sites. What does MENA stand for?

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

I'm confused by this link you sent me. Is this something to do with MENA?

No. It was meant as a joke, actually.
