It is within the last 55 years that the world witnessed the mass displacement of over 850,000 long-time Jewish residents from the totalitarian regimes, the brutal dictatorships and monarchies of Syria, Trans-Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco

Also Turkey/Ottoman Empire. Even Madinah (formerly called Yathrib) had a large Jewish population before Muhammad kicked them out. Christians and Jews were scattered all throughout the Middle East prior to Islam--Nestorians were in Bahrain and the Emirates, the Himyarite Arabs in Yemen had been converted to Christianity by wandering monks, and Jews were virtually everywhere, as the snippet says. Christians and Jews were there first. The Middle East does not belong to Islam.
