Islam and Conflict in Northern Nigeria available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This is not a book on Islam, either as a religion, a legal system or a way of life. It is about the role of Islam in the dynamics of ethno-religious conflict, particularly in northern Nigeria. Nigeria has a complex ethno-religious profile, and, thanks partly to the British colonial administration, a myriad of individual groups professing various faiths and belonging to different ethnicities have found themselves in a tense, unsettled and competitive political system. The variants of Islam in an increasingly tense society, such as northern Nigeria, is unique, given the heritage of this part of Nigeria that has become a source for communal unity rather than a force for division. From this particular standpoint, the book explains and evaluates the symbiotic relationship between Islam, conflict and conflict prevention. The book is thoroughly documented, meticulously sourced, deeply researched and thus provides valuable and factual information on the construction of Islam and conflict in northern Nigeria.

Analyses Muslim-Muslim divisions within northern Nigeria, which are as important for understanding the violence in the region as those between Muslim and Christian (for which, see the companion volume, Creed and Grievance), with consequences for long-term peacemaking. Nigerian society has long been perceived as divided along religious lines, between Muslims and Christians, but alongside this there is an equally important polarization within the Muslim population in beliefs, rituals and sectarian allegiance. This book highlights the crucial issue of intra-Muslim pluralism and conflict in Nigeria. Conflicting interpretations of texts and contexts have led to fragmentation within northern Nigerian Islam, and differentIslamic sects have often resorted to violence against each other in pursuit of 'the right path'. The doctrinal justification of violence was first perfected against other Muslim groups, before being extended to non-Muslims: conflict between Muslim groups therefore preceded the violence between Muslims and Christians. It will be impossible to manage the relationship between the latter, without addressing the schisms within the Muslim community itself.

Christian-Muslim Dialogue In Northern Nigeria available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Religion as a powerful impulse in human existence plays a paradoxical role in society as it both contributes significantly in shaping the spiritual, socio-political and economic lives of millions of people and also acts as a source of conflict. The sad experience of interreligious conflict in Northern Nigeria challenges the claim of Islam and Christianity to be religions of peace. However, understood as closely intertwined with culture and custom of a people, religion can be central in the establishment of peace and conflict resolution in and between communities. This text using the model of dialogue (Nostra Aetate) explores and presents the socio-political and theological resources available in Northern Nigeria (the locality) for a consistent peace building process.
