L'islam au Senegal : Demain les mollahs? la "question" musulmane et les partis politiques au Senegal de 1946 a nos jours

---

Record crowds at the “holy places” of Senegalese Islam in Tivaouane and Touba, the creation of cultural associations, “fundamentalist” Arab schools, and the appearance of “integrist” magazines—events related to Muslim affairs in Senegal have unfolded at an astonishing pace in recent years.

Some believe they have detected in this spectacular rise of Islamic activism traces of an anti-Christian intolerance rarely seen in the country. But behind Christianity—burdened with the original sin of having been the religion of the colonizer—the true target is in fact laïcité, the secularism claimed by the modern state of independent Senegal, which is perceived as a symbol of corrupting Westernization.

Is this a temporary and insubstantial phenomenon, driven by “small-time ayatollahs” dreaming of trials and tribulations to bring stray Muslim believers back to the kingdom of Allah? Or is it a tangible manifestation of a profound evolution within Muslim civil society, which—faced with the severe socio-economic and moral crisis the country is experiencing—tends more and more to see Islam as the only comprehensive system of reference capable of offering clear answers to its questions? What is certain is that the country is confronted, more than ever, with a “Muslim question.”
