Why not Sweden or Australia or some other region..

Dear
May God Almighty Bless You Amen.
You are right to say that all the three Religions had emerged from the desert or close to desert, but you know only a few names had been mentioned in our Holy Books, In Holy Quran there are only 25 prophet's names mentioned and Our Holy prophet Muhammad said that God had sent almost 140,000 Holy Prophets peace be on all of them since inception.
God Allah says in Holy Book Quran that Holy Prophets were sent everywhere in the world to guide the humanity, read:
16:36. For We assuredly sent amongst every People an apostle, (with the Command), "Serve Allah, and eschew Evil": of the People were some whom Allah guided, and some on whom error became inevitably (established). So travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who denied (the Truth).
Adam our foremost father of humanity and prophet peace be on him is said to descend from heaven in India at Srilanka and there is hill where the people believe there is foot mark of Adam there.
I have visited southmost parts of India where there are graves 120 feet long and I have seen a lot of them at a burial ground near Rameshwaram. It is said that Adam peace be on him was 120 feet tall and gradually the height of men decreased as well as there age to our present time.
The areas mentioned above are fertile and not deserts and God has sent the last of Holy prophets to the places of desert may be. Allah knows Best

The ancient deserts of Earth was the birth place of Judaism, Islam, and Hindu. Christianity being(in a respect) an extentension of Judaism. Preceeding these were the Egyptian Ramen and Sky Priests. And Native Americans(Indians(Arapaho)) Worship the Great Spirit(although, I can not say I've heard any non-Indian to know the Indian word for Great Spirit. The Land of China has various religions(although not primarily of the desert) namely Taoism) a type of Great Spirit. And Africa also has a Religion that translates to the great spirit. ps. the Arapaho term of Great Spirit applies to both and North and South America.

It's due to the violence in the area. A harsh climate bred harsh folks. These religions would never have spread like they did without the violence involved.
Read "The Chalice and the Blade" by Eisler. The world was once a more peaceful place until the tribes of the desert started going forth and conquering with their vengeful, violent version of 'god'.

interesting that all three also believe they are right near the first place God and man walked together (Eden)... and the region has the oldest known archeological discovery of walled villages (not in Australia), the oldest known form of writing (not sweeden)...
Yep...something very..very special is going on there...
and I don't think it's a very big coincidence that all three religions predict that Jerusalem and Israel will be a trouble spot all the way up until the end (which by the way...according to all three...will be fought right there)
Go figure....as for me....I'm dismissing any of this.

Even the scientists and the theologians tend to agree on this one--civilization seems to have begun in this region of the world. It also makes you think that maybe there IS something to it somehow, doesn't it? If those three religions all believe that it is "hallowed ground", then maybe it is?!

If you mean Juadism, Islam, and Christianity, then thats easy
All three are very similar. They all came from Judaism. Which started in the desert...

The desert is a great place to hallucinate.

These are the people/culture that were able to conquer most of the world (via the Europeans).
