The Druze are also Arabs, meaning that they speak Arabic and follow many of the cultural practices of the Arab culture. Here are some of the important aspects in Arab culture:
Family – center of everything with Father being the head and having the final word.
Friends – kept in the periphery but they are courteous to all.
Honor – very important; honor will be protected and defended at all costs
Shame – (especially against family) avoided at all costs, insults and criticism i...s taken very seriously.
Time – less rigid, event oriented. The approach to time is more relaxed and slower than in Western cultures.
Society – family and tribe is most important. Age and Wisdom is honored as well as wealth.
Arabic communities are tight-knit groups made up of even tighter family groups. Family pride and honor is more important than individual honor. As you can see there are some aspects of Druze and Arabic culture that make it very difficult for individuals to come to faith in Jesus compared to the individualistic culture and mindset of the West.
