On the face of it, Islam practiced in Africa should be no different than Islam practiced in the Middle East since Islam is not dependent on race or location. However, many forms of Islam in Africa are syncretic, meaning that they introduce local, tribal African customs into Islamic practice even if those practices contravene official Islamic Law.
