Abstract
- The article explores the history of the relationship between Muslims and Christians in Africa and the conflicts between the two religious groups in Nigeria. It states the establishment of Islam in Ethiopia during 615 Christian Era (CE) before it arrived in Medina, Saudi Arabia when prophet MuḼammad created the Islamic State. One conflict in such relations is attributed to the Muslim's demand for the adoption of Islamic law called Shari'a. The author cites the attempt of the U.S. government to promote better Muslim-Christian relations.
