U.S.
Department of State Human Rights Report 1998
A 1996 amendment to the
Constitution declared the country a Christian nation while providing
for freedom of religion. In practice, the Government generally respects
the right of all faiths to worship freely.
Some members of the Muslim community have complained that their religion
has been discriminated against since the country was declared a Christian
nation. They contend that they are unable freely to teach and practice
Islam. However, other Muslim organizations state that they have not
experienced any restrictions on their actions. There are mosques in
the country, and the Government does not appear to hinder Muslim worship
or teaching.
