Why is Israel covered in green? It's majority Jewish?? Just make it grey if it's not consistent with the image's premise. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2001:BB6:102A:F758:3021:D0FF:B7C5:6E82 (talk) 23:34, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good point! There are several aspects of this map that are problematic and not really correct: Bali is coloured green despite being a Hindu culture. The European part of Turkey is coloured light-blue despite the majority of its inhabitants being Muslim. The approach taken towards China is also incosistent: on the one hand, Tibet has been coloured yellow to represent Buddhist culture, but on the other hand, none of the Muslim-majority areas of Xinjiang have been accounted for, even though these could not accurately be described as 'Sinic'. I don't really know who is responsible for making this map and uploading it to wiki, but supposedly this is based on a map made by Samuel Huntington in his book on "Clash of Civilizations". If possible, it ought to be readjusted to reflect these missing elements. Bambi'nin annesi (talk) 16:34, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What about Singapore, why is that in Green? Would making adjustments for accuracy count as original research?
