Islam in
Sierra Leone
[BY
WIKIPEDIA]
FREETOWN (IINA): A Sierra Leonean bishop has declared that he has joined the
fold of Islam, after he had seen a vision during his sleep that he was
sitting with a group of Muslims, and so in the absence of any translation of
the meaning of his dream, he decided to embrace Islam. He made his
declaration in the presence of a representative of the Kuwait-based Africa
Muslim Agency, Sheikh Musa Dambuya.
Bishop Joseph Samba Bondo began his life as a soldier, then became a
missionary preacher, and was trained for his ministry at the seminary in the
Sierra Leonean capital. But after he had met Sheikh Musa Dambuya, who was
himself once a Christian before he embraced Islam, he changed his mind and
became a Muslim.

How and why did the Fula community in Sierra
Leone –a marginalized, Muslim, immigrant community– succeed economically in
a Christian dominated and often hostile business
environment? This question is one of considerable interest for historians of
Sierra Leone but also for economists and political
scientists interested in the roles played by minorities in African
economies. To answer these “how” and “why” questions, Alusine Jalloh
provides a detailed study of the commercial activities of the Fula in Sierra
Leone, concentrating on the period 1961- 1978
