Amhara is not one ethnic group by several groups with in a ethnic group. Amhara has now almost 11 million Muslims. My friend, Most of it is fiction. And even the Amhara have just dropped it and moved ON to the 21st century where everybody can start fresh write it on Wikipedia, put it on facebook and youtube with some good graphics, viola you have a country or tribe that was king of the hill, but nobody heard of it before. It doesn't matter. No body has time for 18th or even 19th century. Just today. The latest "research' is the Amhara were kushitic again that "race" that is becoming sexy with the Oromo, and the Agew Tigray forced them to Christianity, Geez which is the latin equivalent for Tigray and Agew. The whole Amhara kilil is 23 million and Islam is 20% at the most, how could it be 11 million. In Ethiopia only 2 kilil have 90% or more Muslim. Afar and Somali. The rest is all less than half and some even less than 10%. It is just number is not important. Is not directly related to influence. Tigray has lowest percentage of Muslims, yet no body in his right mind will tell you that Muslims are less than 50% in Tigray. Since they are in every government or business positions as Tigray in Ethiopia. Oromo maybe about 15 million Muslims, but they are no where visible in government or business as even quarter of Tigray Muslims. The number of Somalis..Muslims is same as Tigray (mixed), the number of Afar..again almost all Muslim is third of Tigray (mixed)..etc. Pente (American religion) is the new force in Ethiopia in same position now with Muslim influence wise. If it was not for Tigray who hardly has Pente and Amhara who have little of it, Pente would be top in Ethiopia. Christians and Muslim are divided in themselves. Most Oromo Muslim are Wahabi. The rest are not. Just some information for you. I felt your information is bit dated regarding Amhara.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xaaji Xunjuf Posted August 27, 2018 Old observer the issue with Ethiopia is ethiooia before menelik was Abyssinia and Abyssinia was amhara with a few shewa oromo that was it . So amhara gave birth to Ethiopia gonder and shewa were fighting for influences the same with gojjam and wollo. Amhars has allot of Muslims we don't have census. Tigray have the least Muslims but their kebessa cousins caqeleguzay xamasien and sareye have allot of Muslims. Eritrea doesnt do census because Eritrea is majority Muslim which is led by sha3biya Christian organisation. Who hijacked the Eritrean struggle of xamid idris awate and ibrahiem sultan and the lowland Muslims. Against the anti Islam orothodox Christians led by afewerqi the last Kafir in the horn of africa even Ethiopia has a leader who's Muslim culturally only by name.
