Abstract

In the study is examined the influence of Islam on the political, economical, and social life in some countries from the Western-African region, the peculiarities of this religion in Tropical Africa and its development into a certain kind of syncretism, allowing many researchers to use the term “Black Islam.” Clearly expressed is the interweaving of Islam with socialist terminology in the so-called countries with a “socialist orientation” and its turning into a specific ideology, having an impact on the domestic political situation in these countries.
