Jews, too – once a vital presence in cities like Cairo, Damascus, and Baghdad – have all but disappeared from the predominantly Muslim parts of the Middle East, relocating to Israel, Europe, and North America. Even in Muslim communities, diversity has been dwindling.
犹太人也曾经是开罗、大马士革和巴格达的重要居民，如今他们也从中东各主要穆斯林地区消失了，前往以色列、欧洲和北美定居。甚至在穆斯林社区内部，多样性也在下降。在贝鲁特和巴格达等城市，混合社区纷纷被同化，因为逊尼派和什叶派都在寻求宗派攻击和内战的庇护所。
