In this video, Colson Kishimoto explores Sheikh Amadou Bamba’s role as an anti-colonial icon in Senegal. Rather than leading violent resistance, Bamba inspired unity and independence through spiritual devotion and cultural identity. Kishimoto reflects on how Bamba’s teachings demonstrate Islam’s diversity and its integration into everyday life in Senegal. Through examining Bamba’s influence, viewers are encouraged to rethink common divides between religion and daily life, and to see how faith can shape national and personal identity without conflict or violence.
