The / a population

Friends!!

I promised CalifJim that I'd leave the other thread alone and I am a man of my word, and this question is different. I feel guilt about asking this, but I want to be sure I understand how to use English articles.

The new scene of battle is Europe, where the predominantly Christian population is facing a rising Muslim minority.

In regard to the articles, did I write it correctly?

Thank you!!

Thank you, CalifJim! So it's up to me which one use to here, eh. English can be a strange language!

Thank you again and sorry! It is probably annoying to explain this over and over again!
