John Azumah

African Muslims and Christians share kinship ties, languages and citizenship and have often lived together in peace. Yet why have clashes between Christians and Muslims become common in places like Sudan, Nigeria and Ivory Coast? John Azumah sets out to answer this question and many others in this introduction to Islam. Some of the topics covered by this Christian theologian include:

Muslim history and theology

Major differences between Christianity and Islam

How these differences lead to conflict

Both sides of contentious issues such as Shari’ah Law
