Judaism, Christianity and Islam
The Middle East is the birthplace and spiritual centre of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The region has experienced both periods of relative tolerance and violence. In the 20th century, it has been at what could be considered the centre of world affairs; a strategically, economically, politically, culturally, and religiously sensitive area. It possesses significant stocks of crude oil.
Middle East defines a cultural area, so it does not have precise borders. The most common and highly arbitrary definition includes: Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, Iran (Persia), Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
