Cultural Kylie Lizardi

The Muslim culture is recognized for its elaborate garments and embellished places of worship. Islamic/Muslim practice is so diverse and complex that there are several different types. However, there are several constants that keep the culture together. “ There are over a billion Muslims throughout the world, and though they speak hundreds of different languages and live in dozens of different countries, they still share a common Muslim culture” (Borade ). They follow the Quran, a version of the Catholic Bible, that instructs them of their religious practices. It mandates what Allah, their god, allows them to practice. The Quran shapes the layout of the Muslim culture.  Not only is the Muslim culture defined by its diversity, but by its size. The Muslim religion has grown to substantial sizes, but has also been shunned from societies. The All-India Muslim League was a political organization to protect the rights of Indian Muslims under British-rule. “Its founding goals were to promote loyalty to the British government, advance the political interests of Muslims, and prevent hostility toward them by other groups” ("All-India Muslim League"). Unfortunately, the League ended after WWII. However, the League was responsible for the creation of Pakistan, the setting of Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseni.
