More on Islamofacsism in Africa

UGANDA

Problems? Yes, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Persian Gulf monarchies are pouring money into Africa for Islamic conversions. "The investment is huge," and there is an upsurge in fundamentalist mosques and schools. Two proselytizing faiths compete, creating "a dangerous cocktail." The "born again" there support the U.S. because they think we are fighting their wars against Islam. The greatest attraction of the Pentecostals is the "community fostered in congregations," which is matched by similar community appeal among Muslims. Pentecostal converts are also attracted to a "miracle-working God." They watch Pat Robertson and other televangelists offering so much spiritual and material gain and they think some of the latter will be theirs. Ssempa says, "99% of our support comes from the U.S."

Uganda's Christians remember the horrible dictatorship of Idi Amin and identify his violent style with Islam everywhere. Sectarian violence, not yet overt in Uganda, spreads elsewhere and threatens there. In Kaduna, Nigeria, such sectarian war led to 1,000 deaths in 2000, and 200 deaths in recent riots. In Africa, "where there is too much poverty and too many guns, tensions quickly turn lethal." Christians and Muslims accuse each other as each conflict escalates. Voices of growth are strong. Voices of conciliation are weak and few.
