The Muslim Culture and Religion - Essay Example

Download file to see previous pages The Muslim culture does not allow a female person to see the private parts of a male person (Nam, 10). It is regarded as morally wrong unless that person is your wife. The man declined to remove his pants for the X-ray due to his protestant stand which does not allow females to see their private parts and this is also the main reason why he refused to cover himself with a towel. Most of them would even prefer to die than to be treated by a female doctor which does not make sense at all. Just because, this female doctor is going to see your private parts does not mean she is going to do anything with them, all she is interested in is treating you and therefore fulfilling her duty at work (Nam, 11).

Question 2
Most of our cultures misguide us by the things they make us believe, and they may destroy us rather than build us. Religion is supposed to build and unite us but not tear us apart (Nam, 11). Therefore, everybody is supposed to respect each other, and that includes their religion too. We all believe in something even if not God.

In both religions, one should cover his or her nakedness although. Modesty in the presence of the opposite sex is highly treasured and secured culturally and in religion.

However, modesty in the presence of the opposite sex is in some countries more of culture than religion. The only difference in all our religions is the way we worship him and the things we do to try to show some respect (Nam, 11). This culture thing is different in different countries.
