Why Muslims Reject Christianity: Cultural and Historical Perspectives

In this episode of the Royal Remnant Podcast, I explore the cultural, historical, and political factors that can make the Christian gospel message difficult or even triggering for many Muslims. As someone who once lived on the other side of that conversation, I know it’s about more than just theology.

I get into the deeper clash between Western individualism and Eastern collectivism, and how our differing views on freedom, morality, modesty, and the role of women often shape how the Gospel is received. I also talk about the historical wounds left by events like the Crusades and colonialism, as well as the ongoing impact of U.S. foreign policy and how Muslims are portrayed in the media.

Through it all, I emphasize the need to approach these conversations with love, humility, and truth. Muslim identity carries both pain and pride, and we need to be patient and compassionate when sharing Christ. I wrap up the episode with some practical advice for Christians who want to engage their Muslim neighbors in a way that’s both respectful and effective.
