Looking to Europe and the Middle East during the Middle Ages it is possible to see that both were very similar societies. In the world of Christianity and the world of Islam there was a strong faith in religion. Among the peoples of these lands were men and women who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the defense of their faiths, as we can see in the Crusades. More or less both parts of the world have very similar ideas on social relations with some minor differences in details. Similarly the political and economic systems may have been different but in essence they were not liberal. Can we therefore say that both Islam and Christendom held many similarities during the Middle Ages? Today it would even be possible to say that Europe and the Middle East are even further apart culturally than they were in the Middle Ages.
