Malian Historian, ethnologist, poet and storyteller Amadou Hampaté Bá (Fula), was born in 1900 in Mali; he died in 1991 in Ivory Coast. Amadou Hampaté Bá was one of the great scholars of African culture.

In his book “Jesus as Viewed by a Muslim” he wrote about tolerance and Inter-religious dialogue:

“My role is, above all, whenever I have the opportunity to meet a believer - whether he is my Christian brother, my Judaist brother, My Buddhist brother, my brother of African Traditional Religions - to start listening. It is time, I think, to forget our differences, to discover what we have in common and try to build from there, what could be the Religious society of tomorrow.

Everyone must continue himself fully and reach God in his way” Amadou Hampaté Bá
