Among them, Islam is dominant, and in Israel, Jews still envelope their ancient Judaism.
In Lebanon and other places near the holy city of Jerusalem, there are still few Christians.
Judaism and Islam both originated in the Middle East, so the Middle East is of great significance to them. Such as Jerusalem, or Mecca and Medina in Islam. Christianity and Judaism have deep roots (the first half of the Christian Bible is entirely Jewish scripture), and Jerusalem is also regarded as their holy land.
There have been several wars in history for control of the holy city of Jerusalem.
In the Bible, God promised Jews returning from Egypt a land flowing with milk and honey, namely Canaan.
Its location, that is, from the West Bank to the Mediterranean Sea, is roughly equivalent to the land that belongs to Israel and Palestine today. So Jews are so obsessed with this land that after World War II, Zionists from all over the world gathered in Palestine to establish their own country.
Although Islam is the largest religion in the Middle East, there are divisions within it. Some time after the prophet's death, there was a dispute over the issue of heirs, and Muslims who supported different heirs fought against each other. So one school became its own orthodox sunshine. The other faction only supports people who are related to the prophet Mohammed as heirs, named Shi Ye. Since then, the two factions have been fighting with each other. Now in the Middle East, Iran is a Shia, most Muslims in Iraq are Shia, and most other Middle Eastern countries are Sunnis.
