if they are, are theymajority or minority?
Lord Jesus was born in those area, but seems most of the people who live there are Islam and Jewish.
I knew that Jesus is Jewish..

There are.
Israel - 2.1% Christian.
Lebanon - about 40% Christian
Syria- 10%
Jordan- 6%
Iraq- 3% Christian/non-Muslim
Saudi Arabia- estimated 500,000-1 million Catholics
Bahrain- 9% Christian
Iran- About 1% are non-Muslims
Turkey- About 1% are non-Muslims
Egypt= 10% are Christian, of which most are Coptic
The only country with a sizeable population of Jews in the Middle East is Israel. The other countries are made up of Muslims, Druze, Bahai'is, Zoroastrians, Hindus, etc.
And just for future reference: Islam is the name of the religion, Muslims are the followers of the religion.

Interestingly enough, there are Catholic cathedrals next to many Muslim mosques in most Muslim countries! Check out this link:

Plz click on the topic "The Islamic Connection" and actually I'd suggest watching the clips starting with "The Secret Behind Secret Societies."

In Lebanon, the Maronites are Catholic. In Iraq, the Chaldeans are Catholic. Assyrians of Syria are also Catholic. I am not aware of the other Catholics in Middle East countries but I am sure that they do exist. I do not think that the Egyptian Copts are Eastern Orthodox as are Armenians.

Yes there are Catholics all over the Middle East.
They remain, however, a minority.
