These 'Muslims' give praises to a Black Messiah, who believed salvation came in this time through hard work and not a God in the sky waiting to return. No 5 x day rituals, but high priests and Iritual healers. He used the reLIEgion to fight against French colonialism........and created one of the most economically powerful brotherhoods in West Africa. Not without criticism.......... But I can overs this. Better than French christianity or arab-empowering Islam.
Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba Mbacke
"There is only one surviving photograph of Amadou Bamba, in which he wears a flowing white robe and his face is mostly covered by a scarf. This picture is venerated and reproduced in paintings on walls, buses, taxis, etc. all over modern-day Senegal."
