Christian-Muslim conflicts
Christian-Muslim conflicts are rooted in historical, political, and religious differences that have often led to tensions and violence. Both faiths are major world religions with distinct beliefs, practices, and histories, sometimes resulting in competing claims over territory, leadership, or cultural influence. These conflicts are not solely about religion but are also influenced by power struggles, economic interests, and social identities. While many communities coexist peacefully, periods of conflict have occurred, often fueled by misunderstandings, prejudice, and political instability. Efforts continue to promote dialogue, mutual respect, and peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims worldwide.
