However the north and northeastern expansion of the Oromo, who practiced mainstream traditional Waaqa, affected the growth of Islam in its early days. Al-Shahi, Ahmed; Lawless, Richard (2013), “Introduction”, Middle East and North African Immigrants in Europe: Current Impact; Local and National Responses, Routledge, p. While the city of Medina, north of Mecca, ultimately became the new home of most of the exiles from Mecca, a 7th-century cemetery excavated inside the boundaries of Negash shows the Muslim community survived their departure. Le Havre was meticulously reconstructed between 1945 and 1964, to mirror the town’s original pattern while also making room for more modern urban planning and construction techniques. One view suggests the symbolism of Leviticus 16 as scapegoat, coupled with Romans 3:21-25 for atonement, while another view draws parallels with the Paschal Lamb in Exodus 12:1-4, coupled with John 1:29-36, and yet another symbolism relies on Revelation 5:5-14 in which the lamb is viewed as a lion who destroys evil. The Prophet himself instructed his followers who came to the Axumite empire, to respect and protect Axum as well as live in peace with the native Christians. It is agreed by Islamic scholars that Najashi gave shelter to the Muslim refugees around 615-616 at Axum.

1855-1868) demanded that his Muslim subjects convert to Christianity or leave his empire. Islam and Christianity have had their conflicts within the country, from the birth of Islam into the 16th century Christians dominated the borderlands where Islam was more prominent. Islam reached the Caucasus region in the middle of the seventh century as part of the Arab conquest of the Iranian Sassanian Empire. In the Dahlak islands, the first Muslims resided in the 8th century until the 10th century where Islam spread along the Red Sea and Islam was restricted to northern Ethiopia because Christianity was already more dominant in the rest of the country. It is most unlucky that the terms ‘fundamentalism’ and ‘fundamentalist’ as implemented in American Christianity have developed wide coinage not only between non-Muslims but also between Muslims. However, many Muslims dealt with such matters in terms of customary law. Under the former Emperor Haile Selassie, Muslim communities could bring matters of personal and family law and inheritance before Islamic courts; many did so and probably continued to do so under the revolutionary regime. Umayyad Spain had become a centre of the Muslim world that rivaled the Muslim cities of Damascus and Baghdad. In the years leading up to World War II, blue collar workers such as milkmen, butchers and newspaper boys used the day to run their routes and collect Christmas tips from clients.

1872-1889) continued to coerce Muslims into converting to achieve religious uniformity by ordering them to be baptized within three years. Islam in Ethiopia dates back to the founding of the religion; in 615, when a group of Muslims were counseled by Muhammad to escape persecution in Mecca and travel to Ethiopia via modern-day Eritrea, which was ruled by Najashi, a pious Christian king. In parts of Eritrea, the tendency to treat land as the corporate property of a descent group (lineage or clan) precluded following the Islamic principle of division of property among one’s heirs. Historian Ulrich Braukamper says, “the expansion of the non-Muslim Oromo people during subsequent centuries mostly eliminated Islam in those areas.” However, following the centralization of some Oromo communities, some of them adopted Islam and today constitutes over 50% of their population. Following the restoration of Catholicism under Queen Mary I of England in 1553, there was a brief unsuccessful Protestant rising in the south-east of England. When Mohammed saw the persecution to which his followers were subjected to in Mecca, he told them to find safe haven in northern Ethiopia, Abyssinia, where they would “find a king there who does not wrong anyone.” It was the first hijra (migration) in Islamic history.

One response to religious diversity is to deny or minimize the doctrinal conflicts and to maintain that doctrine itself is not as important for religion as religious experience and that the great religious traditions are equally authentic responses to Ultimate Reality.
