Default RE: Kajiado: Potential religious tensions - 01-26-2005, 11:53 AM

heheh. i found myself thinking the same thing: what does the saga have to do with sacrifice? i think this is one of the ways that a misunderstanding of religious actions can increase tensions between groups. maybe the 'sacrifice' issue is not the main one, though. seems like the issue is that two groups (muslim and christian) are trying to win converts to their religions from among the maasai, even though that's not exactly how the writer of the article presents it. and maybe there are also cultural tensions between the maasai and the somali for wtva historical reasons.

hopefully, they will address wtva differences and misundestandings they have before the situation deteriorates.
