Description:This is a revised and expanded edition 2019 of the tainted legacy released in 2017. This new edition included update to the chapters and an addition of Chapter 16 detailing specific ways the latest impact of islamization in having on Northern Christians and minorities.The past twenty years have seen a spate of violent riots and other conflicts in Nigeria resulting in considerable numbers of Christian and Muslim dead, of churches and mosques destroyed, of homes and businesses ransacked and burned. These incidents have taken place mainly in the Middle Belt, where Christians and Muslims are present in approximately equal numbers. Recently, however, we have seen such violence occurring in the “northern North” itself, where Christians are a small minority. More often than not, Christians have been the targets of Muslim-initiated violence, perpetrated by groups ranging from gangs of young people to fully armed Islamist militias. Attacks by Muslims in the last ten years have killed thousands of Christians.The climate of intimidation and fear that these repeated conflicts engender adds to an existing situation of anti-Christian discrimination and marginalisation in the North. The vulnerability of Christians has been effectively enshrined in law in twelve northern states, where shari‘a has has become the main source of civil and criminal law since 1999. Despite Muslim promises that Christians will be exempt, experience has repeatedly shown the opposite. The fact that some Islamists are calling for an Islamic state in Nigeria, ruled by shari‘a, is a cause of very serious concern for Nigerian Christians.This Islamic rule was then consolidated by British colonialism, employing Lord Lugard’s policy of indirect rule. The centralised administration of the Fulanis appears to have appealed to British minds. Lugard himself certainly held that Islam was a superior religion and culture and that the Fulanis’ fairer skins made them “natural rulers” over the darker “pure” Africans. Thus the British set Muslims to rule over non-Muslims.Both the Sokoto Caliphate and the Sultanate of Kanem-Bornu engaged in slave-raiding and slave-trading. The place of slavery in the teachings of Islam is little recognised, and the place of slavery in the practices of West African Muslims still less so. This work most help- fully details these two areas to embed in the reader’s mind beyond any doubt the reality of both.In recent years violent attacks by Muslims in Nigeria have left thousands of Christians dead. Much of the conflict has occurred in the Middle Belt, and also in the North where the Church is a small and vulnerable minority. Islamic sharia is the main source of law in the North, and some Islamists there are calling for the establishing of an Islamic state.In this important study Professor Yusufu Turaki traces the origins of the current crisis to the historical impact of Islam on Northern Nigerian society. He discusses the nature and significance of Islamic colonialism and slavery in West Africa, and how their malign influence was entrenched by the British colonial administration of the twentieth century. These practices, he argues, have bequeathed a tainted legacy of discrimination and cruelty to the Christians of Northern Nigeria.I was most impressed by the content of this book. Yusufu Turaki has spoken the truth and supported it by facts. His evidence is indisputable and his analysis accurate. Christians and Muslims in Nigeria can and should work together for the building of the nation and its people on a foundation of truth and to turn their back on its tainted legacy. This book calls for an honest discussion on the issues of the day in Nigeria.The Most Rev. Benjamin Kwashi, Archbishop of JosWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
