- ItemChristian-Muslim Relationship: A Challenge to The Roman Catholic Church In Zanzibar(Tangaza University College, 2003-01) Renatus, KarumunaThere are many problems that exist in many parts of the world due to lack of dialogue. In some parts there is a predominance of Islam that appears to give little room for other religions. In these places, there is recurrent tension and confrontation between Muslims and Non-Muslims. Such tension is likely to lead to alarming problems, calling for concern about the future of the people in such tense circumstances. In this regard. Christian-Muslim animosity in such places as Zanzibar may be said to have multiple causes namely; external influences, uncompromising •diwah' activities, and the internal political situation, inter-ethnic factors and economic issues. For example, Unguja is relatively well off economically while Pemba drags behind in social-economic development. Geographically, Zanzibar is situated in the Indian Ocean, and comprises of two sister islands namely Unguja and Pemba that are found on the eastern side of East African coast (See Appendix II, liii, lit). However, since 1964. Zanzibar united with Tanganyika and formed one nation currently known as Tanzania. The indigenous people are from mainland Tanzania. They were fishermen. Later businessmen came in from the Middle East. They participated in slave trade. Many people were taken from different parts of Africa, especially central, southern and eastern Africa, and settled in Zanzibar before they were taken to the Far East.
