Summary

Je demeure convaincu que la construction d'une mosquée au Sénégal est un premier pas vers le progrès dans cette colonie. Ne pas adapter aujourd'hui par bienveillance une mesure si utile et si désirée, serait s'exposer à y recourir plus tard par nécessité…. On a trop longtemps attendu pour que le christianisme fasse maintenant beaucoup de proselites au Sénégal, la très grande majorité de la population y professent l'islamisme, et parmi cette population se trouvent bon nombre d'individus qui sont en possession de l'estime publique, et qui marchent vers l'aisance et la propriété. Or la propriété engendre le patriotisme chez les hommes… et le patriotisme constitue les citoyens utiles sur qui repose l'avenir d'un pays.

(Commissaire de la Marine, Rapport à M. le Gouverneur, 16 December 1836, ANSOM Sénégal et Dépendances X, 3 quat.)
