On the one hand, the analysis clearly confirms that two sets of cultural features prove to be most distinctive, that is to say religious and ethnic ones, as both groups can be distinguished by different ethnic and religious profiles (Christian and Muslim). On the other hand, it reveals that, despite various cultural, political, religious and ideological discrepancies and contentions between them, we can still find some promising circumstances to build up their mutual understanding and coexistence without an inevitable loss of their respective identities or homeland.
