Introduction All through history, the impact of religion and foreign influence has been of fundamental significance. The Middle East is perhaps the only geographical region located on the axis of religious-political-war. In most instances, religion, foreign influence, or politics under their control, has been an influential factor in the occurrences in the Middle East. Religion Regardless of religion being a vital aspect in shaping the Middle East into a battlefield, it was backed by other factors, which are closely associated with the sociological/technical structure of the region. The scope of conflict has been established by the region’s position at a crossroads and the existence of oil over and above the religion component (Ciftci and Tezcür 374-376). The greatest element in the provocation of conflict is the existence of three main religions in the Middle East and their worship places, which are deemed holy. The existing disputes shape the political processes and are anchored not just in divergences amid the main religious groups, but also on the differences among the followers of a given religion. Such conflicts ought to be assessed with the consideration of the issues amid three religions: Muslims and Christians, Jews and Muslims, and disagreements amongst Muslims. From the Christians’ point of view, their religion began in the Middle East when Jesus and His disciples resided in Jerusalem and other areas in the region. Christians who considered Muslims to be usurpers embarked on a strategy of removing unbelievers from the area (Smith 23-25). Nevertheless, the Christian population has not been powerful enough to assert its dominance in the region. Crusades and warfare in the Middle East emanated from religion with power conflict being greatly felt among Christians. Catholics, Syrian Orthodox, and Protestants fight for their superiority and supremacy in the region. Such religious groups hold distinctive causes favorable to conflict. The differences between Jews and Muslims exist under numerous titles such as racial, spiritual, and geopolitical. Some of the Jews are convinced that lands in the Middle East, encompassing the ones that people are presently residing on, belong to them because God gave them. This makes them feel that they have to recover their land from the other intruders. In contrast, the Arabs own part of the land and have no plan of sharing it with the Jews (Ciftci and Tezcür 378-382). Jews consider Arabs mediocre people irrespective of the racial relationship with them (perhaps because of their religious convictions or cultural motives) and fail to acknowledge them as compeers in interpersonal dealings. Judaism is taken to be the religious group that connects its followers with God through their faith and any other group that has resurfaced after it is deemed dissident. Historical occurrences between Muslims and Jews form bases for conflict. For instance, Prophet Mohammed drove out Jews from Medina and led to the massacre of three Jewish tribes, in addition to the deportation of Jews from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Middle East is believed to be the first place where Islam started to spread and is thought to be its initial cultural hub. Apart from Medina and Mecca in Saudi Arabia, Jerusalem, Bag
