What three major world religions came out of the middle east and ties to Jerusalem?

While Jerusalem is "holy" to three major world religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), it is only Christianity that had its origin in Jerusalem. Judaism began in the "land of Canaan" which encompassed modern-day Israel, Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, and parts of Jordan, Syria and Egypt. Moses, of course, was raised in Egypt. "Jerusalem" doesn't appear in Jewish history until the sixth book of the Bible, the Book of Joshua, and at that time it was an Amorite city, not a Jewish city. Islam, the third of the three Abrahamic religions in Jerusalem, began in Arabia.
