ABSTRACT
The rationale for binding Afrasia together lies in a collective desire to avoid the recurrence of the colonial experience in any part of the world. At the turn of the 21st century, the anti-Western sentiment was gaining force prominently in the Islamic world. The notion that others are coming against people is explained in terms of group psychology. During the Cold War period, the security dilemma attracted the keen attention of policy and military strategists: country A perceives country B as preparing to deploy a new set of missiles and starts preparing to set up its own missiles in self-defence; B interprets A as building up its ability to attack B and starts building up its missile system; seeing this, A attempts to develop weapons further, and B reciprocates. The indigenisation of the different world religions has progressed in a particularly unique way in Africa, where there has been a long process of acceptance of both Christianity and Islam.
