Report of the Month
Muslims in Burundi make up around 10% of the total population of about 9 million, though some statistics try to lower the figure to 6%. Burundi is by constitution a secular state, although Eid ul-Fitr is among several national holidays, since 2005, having been declared by the Burundian government. There are a number of mosques and Qur'an schools across the city, especially in the Muslim quarters of Buyenzi and Kanyoshi in Bujumbura.
Though Muslims practice their religious acts freely, in the dominantly Christian community, the practice of Islam is relatively new, introduced only in the 1900s, as compared to other countries in the Eastern part of Africa. Most Muslims in Burundi are either converted to Islam themselves, or are the children or grandchildren of converts. |
