Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Threat of Islamic Extremism in Africa: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Africa of the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session
By contrast, Tanzania felt constrained to expel three Sudanese preachers, accusing them of subversive activities. Here as else where, the issue was Islamist propaganda against the country's secular constitution. They insist that the country with a Muslem majority ought not to be ruled by non-muslems. The proportion of Muslems in Tanzania is probably around 55 percent, more or less analogous to Nigeria. Both countries sub scribe to secularism as a means of guaranteeing harmony between the communities in partners as states that would be ungovernable if one of the these communities were to dominate the others. In Islamist propaganda, secularism is the supreme evil. Secular ism rules out the application of Islam's traditional law, the shari'a. The Islamists demand introduction of the shari'a because it grants Muslems privileges as compared to non-muslem citizens.
