Political commentators often cast religious conflict as the result of the numerical growth and political rise of a single faith. When Islam is involved, arguments about religious fundamentalism are quick to surface and often stand as an explanation in their own right. Yet, as useful as this type of explanation may be, it usually fails to address properly, if at all, two sets of important issues. It avoids, first, the question of the rise of other religions and their contribution to tensions and conflicts. Second, it reduces the role of the State to a reactive one. The State becomes an object of contest or conquest, or it is simply ignored. Adopting a different approach, this article investigates a controversy that took place in Mozambique in 1996 around the 'officialisation' of two Islamic holidays. It looks at the role played by religious competition and state mediation. The article shows that the State's abandonment of religious regulation - the establishment of a free 'religious market' - fostered religious competition that created tensions between faiths. It suggests that strife ensued because deregulation was almost absolute: the State did not take a clear stand in religious matters and faith organisations started to believe that the State was becoming, or could become, confessional. The conclusion discusses theoretical implications for the understanding of religious strife as well as Church and State relations. It also draws some implications for the case of Mozambique more specifically, implications which should have relevance for countries such as Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe where problems of a similar nature have arisen.

This article look at Islam and politics in Mozambique. Islam has experienced there an exemplary turnabout since the late 1980s. It has been transformed from a marginalised, and at time oppressed, religion into a socially and publicly important faith. What have been the consequences of this transformation? How did Muslims make use of their progress? And what was the reaction of those in political power? Did Muslims integrate into the elite in power, and can one consequently identify a reconfiguration of the national hegemonic bloc? The article demonstrates that while Muslims were integrated in various political institutions after 1994, the party in power evicted all militant religious men from its party and from political positions after the year 2000. It only retained secular Muslims in its ranks. The text evaluates the impact of this change and raises the hypothesis of a consequent secularization of politics.

Morier-Genoud reviews the book by Silva (Schlettwein Publishing, 2001) which examines the history of the Swiss Mission under Portuguese colonial rule, and the role of the church in Southern Mozambique.
