Answer:

Christians in the Middle East

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pact of Umar is a treaty between the Muslim population and the Christian population of a region in the Middle East. However, as its origin is debated, we do not know whether the pact belonged to populations in Syria, Mesopotamia or Jerusalem. The pact states what the rights and duties of non-Muslims are and promises them protection in this land.
