Ok!!
Not all the prophets are from the middle east.
But you mean those who are from the middle east such as Mohhamd or Juses.. Well civilization started from the Middle east and people were civilized there for the first time, so the prophet, the famous ones are mostly from there.. but it has nothing to do with Oil.,

If you're talking about the Abrahamic religions, it's because Abraham came from the city of Ur in Sumeria. Ur was betwen the Tigris and Euphrates in what's now Iraq. He went to Canaan (Israel) via Turkey. I'm guessing he followed the rivers. Judaism and Islam came from Abraham, followed by Christianity later on in the day (about 1800 years). That's why the prophets are from "the oil producer countries".
Though, you might find it interesting that most of the oil that the USA purhcases comes from Venezuela which didn't have an Abrahamic religion until the Spandiards dropped in.

Not all prophets come from oil producing countries.There is an old Jewish story that ponders why of all the places in the Middle East that Moses could have led the 12 tribes to ; he picked the only one w/o oil.

Of the 6 Major religions of the world only 3 (Moses, Jesus and Mohammed) came from the middle-east (asia). The rest came from India (Buddha, Mahavir and all the prophets from the Hindu tradition like Madhva, Sankaracharaya etc.) There are several prophets of other systems like Zen, Confucianism,Taoism etc who came from Asia. Some do consider Martin Luther as a prophet and he was european.

the prophets came from every tribe of man from every part of the world: North & South America, Australia, Africa, Asia and Europe. Oil producing countries include South America and North America as well as off-shore sites.

There is a lot of oil in the Middle East because that's where most of life on earth was concentrated at the time of Noah's flood, resulting in many animals and people being turned to coal/oil.

Because the Middle East is the cradle of life. That's where life began on earth. The Garden of Eden was located between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers somewhere near the place where Baghdad stands today. Of course, it was probably a much different place back then.

Because that was the cradle of civilization. They came from the Jewish nation which had its beginnings in and around modern day Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq. They didn't travel very far since the main mode of transportation was walking.

Hashish has been in use in this area of the world for several 1000 years. The word assassination derives from hashish, which was used to tune the warriors before they….well guess what?
