Religious Fanaticism and Changing Patterns of Violent Crime in Nigeria: DE - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Man is, by nature, a religious animal. That insinuates that religion did not come to Nigeria or Africa with the foreigners. It has always existed and been part of the African people and systems. Foreigners brought Islam and Christianity to Nigeria – and both religions have made many changes in the Nigerian people and lifestyles. Early Nigerians, who practised African Traditional Religion, had little or no religiously motivated violence compared with later Nigerians after the coming of Islam and Christianity. This book has journeyed into the root causes of these changes and identified needs, interests, and methods at the basis of these changes. The changes also precipitated changes in patterns of violence which the research identified and studied.
