Christian Culture Vs Muslim Culture

Culture define who people are. Therefore, culture determines how the majority of the population acts, believes, and values. As a matter of fact, culture decides how a society views ideas. Furthermore, the religion the population follows is determined by culture. This is why there are differences between Christian and Muslim culture. The primary cause of conflict between Christians and Muslims though out history has been culture. Culture influences how people in a population view things. As a result, the media portrays how most of the population view things. For instance, Mala stated that, “Some people are afraid of ghosts, some of spiders or snakes-in those days we were afraid of our fellow human beings”. Therefore, the media is a powerful

For instance, Muslim culture has a lot of rules compared to Christian culture. For example, Mala states, “Nowhere is it written in the Quran that a woman should be dependent on a man. The word has not come down from the heavens to tell us that every woman should listen to a man”.

For instance, she says, “In June two girls, my age were murdered in Gilgit… for posting a video online showing themselves dancing in the rain wearing traditional dress and headscarves. Apparently, their own stepbrother shot

The media in every culture does not show the whole story, so people believe the stories that are half the truth. Furthermore, the religion most people follow is determined by the culture they are exposed to. The differences between Muslim and Christian culture also contributes to the conflict. For this reason, if people were more educated about the differences in culture they may be more understanding. The more people know of the other culture the more understanding people would have of why the two religions cultures are different. Malala is correct in saying that the solution to this conflict is on education on the
