Religious minorities were treated as second-rate beings by the Ottoman and Safavid empires. The Janissary system used Christians as the Sultan's bodyguards. The rivalry between Sunni and Shia Muslims was related to who would succeed the Prophet Muhammad.
<h3>What was the Janissary system?</h3>
- It was a system formed by several armies.
- It was the system formed by the elite army of the Ottoman sultans.
- It was the army used to fight Christians.
- This system led Christians who refused to convert to Islam as the sultan's slaves and bodyguards.
In the Ottoman and Safavid empires, religious minorities were seen as unfit for society. The sultans of these empires forced the people of the conquered areas to adopt the sultan's religion, Islam. Those who refused would be seen as inferior beings and therefore would be enslaved.
These empires witnessed disputes between Shia and Sunni Muslims. These disputes were based on the dispute over who would succeed the Prophet Muhammad. For the Shias, succession should take place within the descendants of the prophet, but for the Sunnis, the people should elect a successor.

Answer:
2INTRODUCTIONThe tourism literature has widely recognized that the service quality of the tourguide is a critical factor in achieving tourist satisfaction (Lopez, 1980; Geva &Goldman, 1991; Mossberg, 1995; Ap & Wong, 2001; Wong, 2001; Wang, Hsieh &Huan, 2000; Zhang & Chow, 2004; Black & Weiler, 2005), influencing traveloperator’s reputation and word-of-mouth publicity (Heung, 2008), and affecting theimage and revisit intention of a destination (Whipple & Tach, 1988; Chang, 2006; Sahin& Balta, 2007). On the other hand, destination governments and tourism industries areincreasingly aware of the need to improve the service quality of the tour guidingprofession; for instance by investing in training programs (Weiler & Ham, 2002; Dioko& Unakul, 2005) as well as quality assurance and regulatory mechanisms (Ap & Wong2001; Black & Weiler, 2005). This is a particularly pressing issue in many Asiandestinations in the face of fierce intra-regional competition.Macau is one of the destinations in Asia which faces strong competition fromestablished destinations in the neighborhood such as Hong Kong, Guangzhou andSingapore (Leong, 2007). Macau has been experiencing a rapid expansion of theinbound tourism market over the past decade. According to the Macau GovernmentTourists Office (MGTO) (MGTO, 2008a), visitor arrivals in 2007 exceeded 27 million,representing a growth of 22.7 per cent from 2006. The advent of the liberalization of thegaming industry in 2002 (Yong and Fu, 2006) and the resultant significant scaleexpansion of the casino business, as well as the relaxation of travel arrangements madeby the Mainland Chinese government have significantly contributed to the exponentialgrowth of Macau’s tourism industry in recent years.
