Answer 1

Answer 1

No. Islam is the odd one out here, Islam began in 613 and from the beginning Muhammad hated the Jewish people, Muhammad started preaching in Mecca but was rejected at first.

Comments on Answer 1 & Prioktan918's Expert Answer:

The answer above is reflecting personal opinion that is baseless, and lacks objectiveness, for the following:

1. Judaism religion was started by prophet Moses, who was raised up in Egypt, when he was in Sinai in Egypt then spread outside Egypt.
2. Christianity religion started in the Palestinian Territories (in East Jerusalem) by the birth of Jesus then Jesus and his mother came to Egypt to escape the tyranny of the Roman at the time (before the Roman change to Christianity), then spread outside.
3. Islam started in Mecca (Makkah) in year 610 AD (not 613 as above) by start of the revelation of Quran by God to prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through the angel Gabriel (Jibril), then spread outside. Then continued in Medina (formerly called Yathreb), then spread outside.
4. Prophet Muhammad never hated the Jews as followers of Judaism religion. When prophet Muhammad established the Islamic community in Medina, He and Muslims made a treaty with the Jews to support each other when attacked by the Pagans of Mecca (Makkah). However, the Jews betrayed the Muslims and uncovered Muslims back when Muslims in Medina were attacked by the Pagans of Mecca and their allies. Accordingly, those Jews were penalized after end of the Muslims fight that ended with Muslim victory. Refer to related question on tolerance of Islam religion.

1. Christianity emerged in the Levant (now Palestine and Israel) in the mid-1st century CE. The founder of Christianity, Jesus Christ, was born in the small town of Bethlehem, just a few miles southwest of Jerusalem. He was raised in the town of Nazareth in the region of Galilee, about one hundred miles north of Jerusalem. However, prophecy demanded that the Messiah come to Jerusalem, riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey" (Zechariah 9:9). Christianity originated in the city of Jerusalem in

   present-day Israel. The founder of Christianity, Jesus Christ, was born

In the 4th century it was successively adopted as the state religion by Armenia in 301, Georgia in 319, the Aksumite Empire in 325, and the Roman Empire in 380. Refer to related link below.

2. Regarding the origin place of Judaism. you first should know that the question divides in two. It depends if you want to know when did Judaism begin as a people and nation, or you want to know the start of Judaism as a religion.

   Origin of Jews as a nation: The start of Judaism was by the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (1900 BCE). After Jacob went to Egypt with his twelve kids and seventy grandchildren, the Jews became a nation of six hundred thousand men throughout their 210 years of slavery in Egypt. Origin of Jewish religion:The start of Judaism as a religion was at Mount Sinai at the great revelation (1400 BCE). The start of Judaism as a religion was when Hashem (God) gave the ten commandments to the Jewish nation at Mount Sinai. From then on for forty years the Jewish people wandered in the Sinai desserts and Moses taught them the Torah, as he heard it from Hashem (God). Refer to related link below.

3. Regarding place of origin of Islam: Place of origin of Islam is the whole universe and even before universe. Islam is an Arabic word that means full submission to God by all His creatures including the plants, the animals, the planets, the skies, the earths, the angels and mankind. Islam in its universal sense means full submission to God and surrender to him. In this sense its origin dates back to origin of universe creation. However, the origin place of Islam religion; per Qur'an holy book re-evaluation by God to prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through the angel Gabriel; is Makkah (or Mecca) and AlMadinah (or Medina that was formerly named Yethreb) in the current country Saudi Arabia. Refer to question below.

Answer 2

NO. None of them were founded in Israel/Palestine.

Judaism as a religion came into existence as a result of Mosaic Revelations in Sinai, Egypt if you believe the religious view or as a result of the codification of Jewish tradition in Babylon (modern-day Iraq) if you believe the secular historical view. While the religion certainly has close ties to Israel/Palestine and there are key events in Jewish history and theology that take place there, it is not the place of origin of Judaism

While Jesus was born in Israel/Palestine, this is wholly irrelevant as Jesus did not found Christianity. He was intending to reform Judaism and it was his followers that began to see themselves as unique from Jews. These differences developed. Paul and Peter led the development of the religion and its evangelism in the Aegean Region that made that area the center of Christianity. Thus Christianity was developed as a result of the numerous Christian counsels that took place in the Aegean region (now Greece and west Turkey). From there it spread to other regions and Israel/Palestine was not involved in that process of evangelism in any meaningful way.

Islam came out of the Qur'an Revelations that Mohammed received in Hejaz (now Saudi Arabia). Muslims often make the religious argument that Islam is the natural religion of the universe, created by God at the moment of creation. Regardless, like the Jewish example, both choices are not Israel/Palestine.
