Islam in Niger
Islam in Niger accounts for the vast majority of the nation's religious adherents. The faith is practiced by more than 94% of the population,〔(International Religious Freedom Report 2007: Niger ). United States Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (September 14, 2007). ''This article incorporates text from this source, which is in the public domain.''〕 although this figure varies by source and percentage of population who are classified as Animist. The vast majority of Muslims in Niger are Malikite Sunni with Sufi influences. Many of the communities who continue to practice elements of traditional religions do so within a framework of syncretic Islamic belief, making agreed statistics difficult. Islam in Niger, although dating back more than a millennium, gained dominance over traditional religions only in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and has been marked by influences from neighboring societies. Sufi brotherhoods have become the dominant Muslim organization, like much of West Africa. Despite this, a variety of interpretations of Islam coexist—largely in peace—with one another as well as with minorities of other faiths. The government of Niger is secular in law while recognising the importance of Islam to the vast majority of its citizens.
==Demographics==
Majority of Muslims are Sunni with many of those being linked to the Tijaniya Sufi brotherhoods. Approximately 7% are Shi'a and 6% Ahmadi.〔 Hammallism and Sanusiya sects have had historic influence in the far west and far northeast of the county in the colonial period, while sections of Nyassist Sufi orders and Arab Wahhabite followers have appeared in the last thirty years.〔Decalo (1997) p. 261-2, 158, 230〕 The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is also present, established in the country in 1956.
