Before the advent of Christianity and Islam in Ghana and Togo, citizens practiced forms of African traditional religion. African traditional religion and culture domesticated both Islam and Christianity in West Africa such that their exclusiveness was reduced with its own inclusive tenor. However, Europeans‘ colonial presence and policies, coupled with their association with Christianity affected all aspects of the lives of the colonized people as well as their relationships, including the relationship between adherents of Islam and Christianity. The main conclusions drawn from this study are that since there seem not to have been any clear-cut guidelines or documented policy of the British and the French on Christians and Muslims in Africa, the colonial governments related with Islam based on the discretion or decision of the Governor General. But whether a policy or attitude, it is clear that it was acted upon, implemented and very consistent in action. After the independence of the Ghana and Togo, successive governments of the two countries under study have made efforts constitutionally, educationally and spiritually to foster Christian-Muslim relations since adherents of the two religions continue to interact and engage one another.weiterlesen
