The country where people belonging to various religions live in harmony and unity makes progress in all fields of life. So happened in Islamic Spain where the Muslims, the Christians and the Jews lived in peace and harmony.
Islam was dominant. Jews and Christians were treated well provided they accepted their subordinate position and kept the rules.
Jews and Christians had to pay a poll tax (jizya) and they were not allowed to bring a law-suit against a Muslim. They could be taken as slaves; while a master was not obliged to free a slave who later became a Muslim, no free Muslim could be enslaved. If one Jew or Christian committed a crime against a Muslim, the whole community could be punished. Churches and synagogues could not be built. Anyone was allowed to convert to Islam, but no Muslim was allowed to convert to Judaism or Christianity.
We tend to have a mental image of Cordoba as the host of a gentle form of Islam that did not bother to enforce such rules too rigidly. This is probably because Cordoba was a wealthy city where people lived in material luxury and where science and medicine advanced (chiefly through the work of the Jews). Since most Jews and Christians were careful to keep the rules, brutality did not happen every day, or even every year.
However, there were many occasions when Cordoba was a city of oppression. In 818 there was a rebellion against the Muslim rulers, who crucified 300 noblemen and evicted 20,000 families from the city. The Jewish physician Maimonides had to flee from Cordoba in 1148 and emigrate to Egypt. He complained: "The Arabs have persecuted us severely and passed baneful and discriminatory legislation against us. ... Never did a nation molest, degrade, debase and hate us as much as they!"
They advanced art, science, and technology.
Yes, for Islam originated in the Middle East, along with Judaism and Christianity.

The Middle East is the birthplace of all three Abrahamic Religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Along with other religions such as Bahá'í, Druze, Yazidi, and Zoroastrianism.
Generally, the periods of interfaith equality, such as exists in the United States have been few and rare.
South Africa has a range of religions. Christianity has the most followers. However Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, and Judaism along with others are also practiced.
Iran is officially an Islamic Republic. As Islam is one of the 3 great monotheistic religions, along with Judaism and Christianity, then yes. I would say that Iran is monotheistic.
Judaism has that Tanakh [comprised of the Torah (Law), Prophets, and Writings] Islam has the Qur'an. The Hebrew Bible, or Tanakh in Judaism, is holy to both Jews and Muslims as well as Christians. In addition the Qur'an is the chief holy book of Islam, similar to the New Testament's role in Christianity. However, Muslims believe that the Tanakh as the Jews have it is incomplete (no New Testament) and is corrupted (no Ishmael sacrifice). Please read more at the Related Questions.
Well, I only know the 7 major religions: Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Taoism and Sikhism. Along with two others: Jainism and Baha'i. I am not sure if there are any others.
They never will get alone they bothhave different beliefs on different things.
Both Judaism and Christianity, along with Islam and the Baha'i Faith, are known as Abrahamic religions, which means that their histories can be traced back to the days of the prophet Abraham found in the Bible's Book of Genesis. The lineages of Moses (Judaism) and Jesus (Christianity) are from Abraham and Sarah through the line of their son Isaac. The Jewish Tanakh (Old Testament of the Bible) contains prophecies of Jesus' appearance and the Ten Commandments delivered by Moses are still the basis of most of the world's laws.
Both Christianity and Judaism. Judaism as seen at Sinai, then again along with Christians as prophecied in Jer. 31 and repeated in Hebrews 8.
