The Montreal debate gave to the Haitian believers the first opportunity to offer their point of view on history and the role Voodoo played in the Haitian revolution in 1787. For the first time we have seen that Islam was a big part of the slaves live. Some of the revolution key leaders were Imam, Islamic teachers. One of them, Bookman was an Islamic leader that carried with him his Koran, thus his name "Bookman" the man of the book. Some of the myths surrounding the first leader’s congress at Boiscaïman (Wood at the Imam's house) were demystified and the role of Voodoo was questioned. Now, Haitian believers have their own view on History and specially the Haitian revolution in connection to Voodoo. Mr. Févry did a great job in helping us see what really happened at the ceremony where presumably Haiti was dedicated to Voodoo. According to Me. Févry, an Imam would never sacrifice a pig in a Voodoo ceremony. For the Muslim as for the Jews, pigs are unclean. So the historical evidence of Haiti’s dedication to Voodoo has been challenged once again and there is no historian that supports the idea of any consecration of the country to Voodoo.
We praise God for all of you who prayed for the debate and we ask you to pray for a book that Mr. Févry will publish in response to Dr. Fils-Aimé.
