I am from the middle east too, even arabs take part in our celebrations. Countries like UAE, Egypt, Lebanon, Baharain, Oman, Qatar have a number of Christian churches and are quite permissive in allowing ppl to follow their religion. but in some countries, celebrating christmas is a crime, as is conducting worship services.

If you simply mean the Eastern and Western hemispheres, then the Prime Meridian (the 0 degree line of longitude) is what divides the world into Eastern and Western hemispheres for pure coordinates.\n\nIf you mean the Eastern and Western cultural traditions, then there is no "line" but if you wanted to draw a distinct boundary:\nThe Western world can be defined as the world order that derives most of its cultural knowledge from the tradition of the Mediterrean cultures: Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Christians and the European cultures. So the Western world include the Americas, Europe, Australia, and Sub-Saharan Africa.\n\nThe Eastern world can be defined as the main cultural centers that did not develop out of this Mediterranean worldview, including China, India, and Japan. So, most of Asia is definitely included in the Eastern world. \n\nThe Islamic worldview can be categorized as either Eastern or Western. While Islam, as a monotheistic religion, has its roots in the same Abrahamic faith tradition as Judiasm and Christianity, it  remained culturally isolated from the continued growth of European culture, through the Renaissance and age of colonialism. So it has western roots, but is no longer part of the western tradition, and so some might automatically associate it as eastern by default.\n\nThe definitions between these world views were predominantly decided by Westerners, who simply saw the Islamic, Indian, Chinese, and Japanese (and other Asian cultures) as non-Western traditions and lumped them all together as Eastern, when in fact there are major differences between the main worldviews that developed in the Islamic world, India, China and Japan.

Good question. Perhaps it's because Islam appeared significantly later than the other two monotheistic religions.\nIt's the more embarrassing for Christians and Jews, as all three religions ultimately share the belief in the same god, whether he's called God Almighty, Allah, or Jahwe.\nOn the other hand, religion has become less and less important in countries with dominantly Christian and/or Jewish cultural roots, whereas laicism is something not very widespread in Muslim countries, where you'll find a much more significant connection between state and religion.\nAs Christians or Jews of an era where we are being educated in the rational ways of Enlightenment we're used to being able to make fun of our own religion, so we may feel we're entitled to make fun of other people's religion too.\nWhich isn't always funny.

This one is pretty easy-It's definitely Islam.\n\nThe Islamic religion, which originated in the western Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century, predominates in most Arab nations. Forms of both major divisions of Islam—the Sunni and the various Shia sects—can be found in the Arab countries. Almost everywhere, nationalism, which emerged in the late 19th century, is an important force. Nationalists sometimes use the Islamic religious tradition as an ideological tool to justify the power of the ruling class.

Russia stretches all the way from Europe to Asia. The "middle east" is not stricty defined in Geography but basically means those countries stuck in the middle between asia, europe and africa; maybe that's why they are always fighting!

Most wars have been over land or political ideology.  Religion gets tacked on as an afterthought or an excuse to give the war an air of legitimacy when no other reason exists.  Very few wars have been soley over religion, although I do believe the current war is...whether western nations, ie christian, believe it or not....the islamists do.

There were quite a few Jewish sects in that part of the world around that time. Many of them were messianic sects, such as the Essenes - some of which had turned from traditional Judaism. In this period in history it was not uncommon to hear tales that this person or that person was the promised Messiah. Christianity was a sect that became firmly established by going cosmopolitan - after Paul promoted it in Italy and Greece and blended it with their mythology of virgin birth, the hierarchy of deities, and a fiery Hades place of punishment, etc., none of which had any connection to Jesus's religion (Judaism).
