The news are always mentioning different religious groups throughout the MiddleEast, curious to how many different distinct religions are represented in that region.

The largest number of people in the Middle East follow Islam, and the main branches of Islam are Sunni and Shia. There is also Wahabbism which is an interpretation of Sunni Islam. I think there are a few more branches of Islam like Sufism, but they are relatively smaller. But technically they are also Muslims. There are also Christians and Jews. Also, the Baha'i faith also started in the middle east and is now based in Israel. There are a few more religions, like Zoroastrianism which date from a looooooong time ago. But these have very few followers in the region nowadays

Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism are the major religions in the Asiatic regions. The rest are subsets or mixes like our Lutheran, Protestant, and Baptist, etc. groups.
