Answer 2
This entirely depends on the religion in question, but most believe that prophecy was not unique to Israel.
Judaism: While most prophets came to Israel as a realization of God's special connection to the Jewish people, there were a few like Balaam who were non-Israelite and true prophets.
Mainstream Christianity: Mainstream Christianity only accepts the Israelite prophets since they were the only ones who originally predicted a Messiah.
Islam: Islam recognizes that Israelite prophets messages were better recorded, but that there were numerous prophets sent to each nation on Earth to apprise them of Truth and give them the choice to accept Islam up to the point of Mohammed. Mohammed was also non-Israelite.
Mormonism: Mormons believe that Jesus came to the New World as well. Also Joseph Smith, Jr., the prophet and founder of Mormonism, was not of Israelite descent.
