Description:Musa tells us their Muslim neighbouring villages were jealous of the lifestyle. Although, they were much more in number, they never reached the sophistication of Christians. Musa talks about the type of Christian traditional foods that did not exist in the neighbouring Muslim villages. He explains that the civilization in the homland belongs to his people. This is why Muslims can never compete with their performance. Musa explains that this also applies to life in the diaspora.
