Que pensez-vous de la culture soninké ? A-t-elle un avenir ?

[Fodyé Cissé]

sajokuumba, just one question. I believe that you are a Soninke. Please, can you just tell us from which village and which country are you from ?

I still believe your "Soninkite" and "Soninkaxu", because you mentionned it several times in your posts.
e.g :

We, too, (Sooninko) are custodians of something Divine. Discover it. It is available. And it is the mother and father of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. This is the challenge.

I have been reading all your posts. I am sorry to report that in all your interventions, you try to push us into a discussion which talks about the truthfulness and veracity of Islam rather than the question raised by this topic : What do you think about the Soninke culture, does it have a future ?

I am sorry to report that your last posts are like diatribes against Islam.

How can you say that :

...Islam is a recent vintage. The farthest you can place Islam in human history is to Moshe-Moses_Musa. And that is just under six thousand years ago. May be if one wishes to be more generous, one can go as far back as Akhenaten of Egypt-Khem.

Did you read the Coran and the Sunna of the prophet Mohamed S.A.W. ?

You said again :

Recently, I read a piece on Soninkara.com that in a certain Soninke village, a non-hoore modi was prevented from leading prayers in the village mosque for no other reason than his caste. In the Islam I read about, a king can stand next to a beggar in Allah's house of prayer and all qualified Muslims can lead a prayer service. Soninke Conservatism denies this.

I am sorry, Soninke conservatism never denies this. If the piece you've read on Soninkara.com is what i am thinking about, you'll see that in this mosque, the people who wanted the ñaxamala to lead the prayers won against those who refused.

And this one :

There can be no dialogue on Soninke Culture without including our politico-social structure and religion which is Islam in this case. They are the foundation. If there is malaise, it has to deal with these two among others. If you are not willing to address this, then you are not willing to seriously address your culture. Your believe in Allah is laudable. However, it is also part of the problem. I have tried to move the dialogue in concrete ways so that we all have a common understanding of the culture before the Islam period and after islamization. But no one is willing to move in this direction. For me, it is the best demonstration of the ill effects of belief not founded on Truth and individual discovery of the Truth.

is again a big mistake. We already discussed it previously when you mentionned that “Arab culture and Arab religion are some of the most important of the many and diverse causes of the death of ” our culture…., that, “Our near Ancestors converted to Islam and therefore Arab culture and became more Arab than the Arabs.”, etc.
ISLAM IS NOT THE PROBLEM. ISLAM has never been the problem in the Soninke's politico-social structure. The Soninke people have been practicing islam during centuries. And they never denied themselves, they never repudiated their ancestors traditions and culture.
All the problems that the Soninke culture is facing now started since the contact with modern civilization. We all know that.
