非洲伊斯兰教的内涵、影响及演化趋势

Abstract:Traditional religion，Islam and Christianity are the three major religions in Africa. Compared with Christianity，Islam has a longer history in Africa and has a more significant impact on Africa. After Islamization and Arabization，North Africa has become an important part of the Islamic-Arab world. In West Africa and East Africa，a large number of people believe in Islam. In fact，almost every African country has a Muslim community with different numbers. Islam in Africa is dominated by Sunnis，and Sufism has a great influence. Islam has promoted social and cultural evolution and educational development in Africa. In nation-state building，Islam shows concentric or centrifugal influence. African Muslims have a positive attitude towards democracy，but in some countries，democratization is beset by Islamic political party or radical forces. Islam has a promising future in Africa；however，its moderate characteristics are being challenged by religious extremists. African Muslims will further strengthen their contacts and interaction with the outside world.
