The
Islamic faith and culture is virtually inseparable from those who consider
themselves true ethnic Jula.
Their religion has shaped this people group so that the very definition
of a Jula person is one who is Muslim.
Even if a person is born into a Jula family, if at some point that
person ceases to perform the regulations of the faith, or converts to
another, they may lose their Jula identity.
In essence, to be Jula is to be a Muslim.

The
Jula, although rigorous in their obedience to Islam, are not radicals.
Rather than show violence or hostility, Jula will more often simply "shut out" attempts to evangelize them, and maintain a feeling
of religious superiority toward other faiths.
They do not understand what it truly means to be a Christian because
of past negative examples, misconceptions about the theology and practice
of Christianity, and the connection of Christianity with western culture.
These notions are passed down from generation to generation.
