A Christian Boom This article brings up one thing that has surprised and concerned me. My understanding was that religions practiced in sub Saharan Africa, whether Islam or Christian did not play the same aggressive unifying role that Islam is billed as playing among Arab nations, Iran, Pakistan, etc. That in effect, Africans feel themselves first and foremost Africans and then Muslims or Christians. Interethnic genocides in Africa have not been driven by religion, but by ethnicity, even though there may be religious dividing lines as well. But now, there's this news from Nigeria about the beauty pageant, and these recent warnings about Christianity... I really don't know what to believe, but it sounds dangerous. One lunatic sect spun off a major religion is more than enough, thank you very much.
