This paper analyzes the political role of Islam in Kenyan politics. Prevalent fears of Kenya becoming a hotbed of Islamist radicalism and terrorism are critically examined against the background of the various categories of Kenyan Muslims, their general position in Kenyan society, their grievances, organization and occasional role in various conflicts. The paper concludes with some tentative recommendations for how the primarily latent religious conflicts in Kenya might be defused.
