English term or phrase: Middle East Crescent
Noen som kjenner det norske navnet? På en nettside står det: Middle East crescent (which includes North Africa, the Middle East, Pakistan, and the Central Asian republics of the former Soviet Union).

Explanation:
Det større Midtøsten (også kalt det nye Midtøsten) tilsvarer The Greater Middle East (også kalt "The New Middle East").

Jeg tror det større Midtøsten er det samme som Middle East Crescent.
