but i can see where it seems somewhat avoiding the answer...

because i don't have time to type out a number of examples, i'll just throw out two names: Ayi Kwei Armah (of Senegal) and his book "2000 Seasons" so that you can get an idea of the perspective traditional indigenous afrikans have of christianity/islam if they haven't "assimilated" or "fused" those two belief systems with their own. there are NUMEROUS other examples and literature i can provide of HOSTS of others who write and speak in the same vein.

and to the other query: no i have not been to the continent.
