Yes, we still see effects of the Crusades today in terms of religious tensions and relationships between different cultures in the regions that were impacted by the Crusades. The Crusades also left a lasting impact on the politics and power dynamics in the Middle East and Europe.
Religious differences have been a major factor contributing to conflict and division in the Middle East. Competition for power, resources, and influence among different religious groups has fueled tensions and led to a number of conflicts in the region.
One effect of increasing religious fundamentalism in the Middle East in the 20th century was the rise of political movements and groups that aimed to establish Islamic states based on strict interpretations of religious laws. This often resulted in the marginalization of secular voices and increased tensions between different religious and ethnic groups.

The Social and Cultural Identity of the Middle East and of North Africa are profoundly defined by the intersection of tribal culture, ethnic nationalism, and Islamist Politics. All three of these are critical factors and the relative value of each is solely in the eye of the beholder.
The two regions with the highest risk of social unrest are the Middle East and North Africa, due to ongoing conflicts, political instability, and economic challenges, and sub-Saharan Africa, where factors such as poverty, corruption, and ethnic tensions contribute to social unrest.
Africa is not called the Middle East. Part of Africa is in the middle eastern region.
South Africa is not called the middle east.
