Comparative Analysis of Dietary Laws in African Traditional Religion and Islam: Implications for Culture and Peacebuilding
Abstract
It is a veritable fact that dietary laws are cultural and religious heritage of human societies. It is an also an incontrovertible fact that religions have declared certain food lawful/unlawful for human consumption. These laws are peculiar to world faiths as they evolved out of a cultural milieu. In this study, the dietary laws of Islam and that of African traditional religion are placed side by side in comparison, with the aim of bringing to the fore the implications these laws portend towards culture and inter faith peace building processes. The aim of the study is to unravel how these religious laws affect the food and nutrition level of Africans. It is geared towards highlighting aspects of enculturation and cultural revivalism.
