POST-ISLAMIC RELIGIONS: There are several religious offshoots of Islam in the Middle East that are usually no longer considered Muslims but distinct religions. These include: the Druze and the Baha'i. Some consider the Alawi to be an offshoot of Islam rather than part of Shiite Islam.

CHRISTIANITY: There are several forms of Christianity in the Middle East such as the Copts, Maronites, Syriac Christians, Assyrians, Greek Orthodox, Syrian Orthodox, Syrian Catholics, Melkites, and Armenians. There are smaller communities of Georgian Orthodox, Protestant (usually Anglican), Russian Orthodox, Messianic Jews, and Filipino Catholics.
