Muslim Missionaries Recruiting Africans For Holy War
POSTED: 12:44 p.m. EST February 23, 2004
PEMBA, Tanzania -- Muslim missionaries from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Pakistan have been visiting mosques in East Africa to recruit young men for holy war.
Moderate Muslim leaders say the part-time preachers go from mosque to mosque spouting sermons of hate, then offer young men a chance to wage holy war in Iraq, Afghanistan or Pakistan.
A moderate Muslim leader in Tanzania says most older clerics try to warn their congregations that the extremists distort Islam.
Most people in Zanzibar follow a mystical form of Sufi Islam, which emphasizes peace and harmony, so they tend to reject the missionaries' fiery rhetoric.
But the missionaries appeal to a frustrated minority who believe Islam is at war.

Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are probably this nation's worst enemies.

Islam has two uses for Blacks: slaves and cannon fodder.
