The Tenth Parallel: Dispatches From the Fault Line Between Christianity And Islam
““When the West sneezes, Africa catches a cold.” I first heard this expression from a Nigerian pastor named James Movel Wuye, who works alongside his former mortal enemy, Imam Muhammed Nurayn Ashafa, to bring about a change of consciousness in the way Nigeria’s Muslims and Christians view one another. During the eighties and nineties, the two leaders taught thousands of young people to kill, and now they “reprogram” them to tolerate each other’s differences. Tolerance is a word of which both are... wary, since to them, it smacks of a moral relativism to which they do not subscribe. To them, it suggests they should tolerate heresy and falsehood. Each strictly adheres to the tenets of his respective faith and unabashedly calls himself a fundamentalist. The imam’s followers lopped off the pastor’s arm with a machete more than a decade ago. Now they are partners in an effort to foster amity among the Nigerian youth they once taught to fight in the name of their respective religions.MoreLess
