Religious minorities in the Middle East have long faced challenges in maintaining their identities and rights. While the region has historically been home to diverse faith communities, pressures from both governments and societal groups continue to shape their experiences. This publication, based on empirical and ethnographic research, examines the status of these minorities, the obstacles they encounter, and the role of Islamic societies in ensuring their protection. By fostering tolerance and peaceful coexistence, Middle Eastern nations can work toward preserving the rich religious diversity that has defined the region for centuries.

S. Behnaz Hosseini is a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Vienna, Austria and serves as a minority researcher, project coordinator, and conference organizer with the mobilecultures team at the university. She has conducted extensive research and fieldwork on non-Muslim minorities in Middle Eastern countries, with a particular focus on migration. Dr Hosseini has visited numerous nations, including Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Afghanistan, and others, to conduct research and engage with local communities. She is also a Middle East media analyst for Persian media and has focused on the challenges faced by minorities in the region.
