- Muhammad_Ashafa abstract "Imam Muhammad Ashafa is co-director with Pastor James Wuye of the Interfaith Mediation Center of the Muslim-Christian Dialogue in the Kaduna State, Northern Nigeria. As the eldest son of a Muslim scholar and spiritual leader of the Tijaniyya sufi order from a long line of Imams, Muhammad Ashafa grew up in a conservative environment, eventually following the family vocation and becoming an Imam himself. But unlike his elders, he belongs to a generation influenced by the 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran, the Saudi Salafi preachers and the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, which brought him to join an Islamist group determined to islamize northern Nigeria and drive out non-Muslims. This movement reached its peak during the 80's and 90's.Muhammad Ashafa went on to become Secretary General of the National Council of Muslim Youth Organizations"'an organization promoting debate and confrontation against Christians.During a confrontation between Christians and Muslims in Zongon Kataf, Muhammad Ashafa lost two cousins and his spiritual mentor, while Secretary General of the Kaduna State chapter for the Youth Christian Association of Nigeria (YCAN) Pastor James Wuye lost his right arm. In 1995, the two former opponents decided to work together and build bridges between their respective communities.With this aim in view, they launched the Interfaith Mediation Center of the Muslim-Christian Dialogue' Forum"', an organization with over 10,000 members providing interfaith training to young people in schools and universities, to women, religious leaders and politicians. The Center has contributed to defusing tensions in the 2002 and 2004 clashes in Kaduna and Yelwa.".
