== Adherence of Ivorian Muslims to the tenets of their faith == 
 I removed the following sentence: 

 In Côte d'Ivoire, Muslims pray, fast, and give alms, plus, eating pork, drinking alcohol, gambling, lying, stealing and murder are prohibited as required by strict tenets of Islam, and many perform the hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca. 

 Reason: Those are all tenets of Islam. Some may adhere to it, some may not. The source given /Country Studies of the Libary of Congress) puts it a bit differently. Quote: In Côte d'Ivoire, only the most devout Muslims pray, fast, and give alms as required by strict tenets of Islam, and only the most wealthy perform the hajj.
