Well I am guessing that they both have the same god. But they do act differently according to their religion. And with muslim they did have lower and higher classes. But in the middle ages, they have more like knights and queens and kings and nobles and peasants. While the muslims had just lower and higher classes. Well that’s what i’m assuming. That's all I can think of.

The Muslim culture we learned about is different than European Christians because they are both a different religion. It's similar because both Christians and Muslims, worship one god. The Muslims are known for the "Convert or die" phrase but Christians joined willingly.

I know how the Middle Ages had a lot of stuff happening with kings and rulers. Also there was a lot of conquering going on with Empires I think. The cultures between the Muslims and Christianity is different because Christianity spread in a lot more easier way and the belief system was a lot different. They are related because they are a culture and believe in a god and worship a god. In the middle ages I believe there was a lot of evil and dark people and there was thing thing or document called the Magna Carta that limited the cruelness of kings. Also I know that were were a lot of King Henry's.

Between the Muslim and the Christian European world, I really do not know anything that is similar about them, besides that they are both technically people of the book, they are both religions, and that they idolize a god. I think that maybe like the Muslims, they only believed in the one true god and they maybe treated others not very well if they believed in a different god. Something I think is

I do not remember anything from the Christian European world that we learned a few years back. History used to be crazy boring for me so I never payed any attention. The Muslim culture that we have learned about could be different in many ways. Christianity and Islam are two different religions pretty much based on the same beliefs. They both believe in the idea of one God and are semi-okay with one another's religions because of that belief.

Islam and Christianity have many similarities and differences. Christianity has many beliefs against Islam such as, only having one wife/husband, to where Islam allows a man to have several wives. Islam is very tolerant of Christianity because, they believe that Christians and Muslims have the same god. I do not believe Christianity feels the same as I’ve heard a lot about Christianity being against a lot of the Muslim beliefs. Christianity spread in Europe by a Frankish king that one was known as the greatest Frankish king. Islam and Christianity were both spread in very different ways as Islam was spread with more of a violent aspect and I believe Christianity was a bit more peaceful, but I’m not completely sure.

The Muslim culture was more advanced than the Christian culture. They were both monotheistic, and the Muslims believed that they worshiped the same god. The quaran was never changed from its conception, while the bible has had many iterations.

Both the Muslim and Christian cultures abide by a book that states how you should be living and what you need to do to become successful in life and proceed to an afterlife. A difference between the books is that the Muslims used their book, the Qur’an, as a religious book and as their "constitution", where the Christians only used the bible for religious purposes.

Both the Muslim and Christian European world culture are very powerful. Both of them are two of the biggest groups in Europe at the time, so they are similar in power. They also have many followers. Christianity and Islam were two of the biggest religions in Europe at the time, so both of these cultures had many people follow them. Some difference that I know of these two cultures is their location. The Muslims were based in Arabia, and I don’t know where the Christian Europeans were based but I know it wasn’t Arabia. Another big difference was their lifestyle. The Muslims had very strict rules they had to follow, and I think the Christians had a more free lifestyle.

I think the Muslim culture we learned about is different than the Christian European world we are about to learn about in the way that the Muslim culture was more open to new things while the Christian world had a specific set of rules that they had to follow. Therefore, the Muslim culture had more opportunity to grow relating to population, wealth, and art while the Christians were unable to grow their world as easily. I think the Muslim culture is the same as the Christian European world we are about to learn about in the way that they had the same God and similar beliefs.

Islam was widely spread throughout Europe as the Muslims conquered land. As Islam slowly dies off, people are converting into Christianity.

The converstion to Islam was violent compared to converting to Christianity. The Muslim culture had the “convert or die” rule, but Christians were able to join on their own. The Five Pillars of Faith and the 10 Commandments are followed by each religion, and they both are considered to be a guide to get to heaven.

I know that the christians also had a “convert or die” culture, but it was more localized to different groups based on how hard or what they believed.

During the Middle Ages, the Muslim culture was much more advanced than the Christian European culture. Muslims adopted other cultures’ advancements and Christian Europeans did not. Christianity was the main European religion during the time. The Middle Ages was a very religion driven time. The biggest buildings were churches and they had the most intricate art and architecture.

The Muslim culture is different than the Christian European world in the sense that the Muslim culture seems to be more intense with their religious beliefs because they have more rules that have worse punishments than the Christians. Muslims also seem to have more activities of the Islamic faith in their day to day lives. For example, Muslims must pray five times every day whereas the Christians can pray once a day if they’d like. Christianity seems to be more open ended than the Islamic faith. Although, the two are similar because they are both very much oriented around their respective religions. They both take their religions very seriously and are huge parts of their everyday lives.

The two religions have many difference but are also very similar in some ways. The main reason they are similar is because they both are originated in the same kind of way by having one and only holy god and just now support and spread the word of there new found faith. Their are differences though mainly because the Muslims are not as strict and do thing like human dissection, which the Christians think is a major sin.

The Muslim culture is similar to the European culture in the aspect of passion for religions. Both cultures were and still are very passionate about their religion and belief system. This drive and passion resulted in various conflicts such as war. Aside from that, the Muslim culture was more modernized in terms of medicine, whereas Europe during this time period was lacking knowledge; for example, The Black Plague. This outbreak led to an uncontrollable decrease in population because the Europeans were uneducated about how to take control over a spreading disease.

I believe that the Muslim and Christian culture are not very similar at all. I think this because of the different ideals the two cultures have, Christians say that if you kill or disrupt a person after death it’s a sin, while Muslims believed in advancing in sciences. Also, Christians didn’t really believe in women’s rights and Muslim’s believed that women could have an opinion and own property. Some similarities between the two though is that they are both very specific on what you have to do in your life. For example Christian have the 10 commandments and the Muslim’s have the 5 pillars of faith.

I know that the Muslim religion is different from the European Christian religion in many ways. The Christian European people follow a bible and a law book that are separate while the Muslims have their laws and religious practices together in one book. The Europeans have a different way of practicing their religion through prayers instead of going through five phases of religious steps. They each follow one God.
