The United States State Department and the united states CIA are not official sources of Rwanda. They are sources of information for the United States. Catholic priests and nuns have been convicted. This is a fact. There are allegations against clergy from all denominations. This is a fact. Burying your head in the sand will not change this fact. Instead of saying it didn’t happen like a deranged holocaust denier. Try and make sure it doesn’t happen again. It isn’t the Washington posts and the New York Times that result in Christians converting to Islam. It is you, Lao Wai, you are why Christians convert to Islam. How do you think a Christian who saw her family slaughtered in a church, will feel if she reads what you wrote? How would you think she feels when you deny her suffering and what she saw with her own eyes? Christians of all denominations did some very bad things in Rwanda, it is time to admit it and apologise. Not cover it up like what you are doing. Covering it up, just makes Christians look worth. The message it sends isn’t, “we did it, we are sorry and it will try not to do it again”, what you are saying to Rwandans by covering it up is, “it will happen again, because we denied it this time, we can deny it again”. Lao Wai if there were more people like you, sooner or later there will be no more Christians. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Revedgington ( talk • contribs) 16:02, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
There is no point asking for a fact about the 16 percent Muslim claim because lower down there is already a link to the US State Department that points out Muslims make up less than 5 percent of the Rwandan population. The claim is therefore not true and proven such on this page. The claim that the Muslims and the media make is, I think, Wikipedia-worthy in and of itself, but it has to be made clear that it is not true. If anyone can think of a better way to do that I'm all for it. As with the alleged involvement of the Catholic priests. This is clearly hate-mongering but should still be mentioned with the proviso there is no evidence of it at all. Lao Wai 10:17, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Talk:The Church and the Rwandan Genocide on the possibility of moving content from there, and maybe here, to finally create a Religion in Rwanda article. Thoughts welcome. - Banyan Tree 04:52, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
All statistical info presently is just outdated estimates. By now there are results of census available asking for religion. See http://microdata.statistics.gov.rw/index.php/catalog/65. Plus a very good overview on the excellent site http://muslimdemography.com/CountryReport/Index?code=161. Kipala ( talk) 08:23, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
