Ineed for a history assignment so if you could give me some ideas on an issue or conflict that affects the middle east today. why you think it's difficult to find a solution to this issue? as well as what needs to be considered in seeking a solution? that would be greatly appreciated, .

Although it didn't happen in modern times the Crusades still effect tensions between the western world and the middle east, as well as how both worlds view each other. Another topics could be ISIS. For the first one its the mater of changing almost a thousand years of feud between the two worlds, ISIS is most likely because of that feud. The problem with ISIS though is we don't know how many there are or where they all are. We need to consider the facts and history behind both issues when seeking a solution.
