486 WGW - Evangelizing only with testimony in Mauritania

The sparsely populated West African state of Mauritania has been an Islamic Republic since the country gained independence in 1960. It is the only Islamic state of its kind in Africa. The fact that the population of Mauritania is almost entirely Muslim has a profound impact on everyday life in the country. Islam is the country’s state religion, and citizenship is reserved for Muslims. Renunciation of Islam carries the death penalty. It is significant that religious freedom is not mentioned in the constitution. Jonas Soto interviews Bishop Martin Albert Happe, a White Father from Germany, who has been a missionary in African countries for almost 50 years. Bishop Happe was called to be Bishop of Nouakchott in Mauritania in 1995 by Pope John Paul II.
