Islam in Botswana

Islam in Botswana

Islam in Botswana comprises only 2-3 percent of the population. Of those 2-3 percent, the vast majority are from the Indian subcontinent and have immigrated during British colonial rule. The relations between the different religious groups remain peaceful and friendly despite rising inter-religious tensions in the Northern parts of the African continent.
