Your claim that not a single Muslim was enslaved in West Africa

Are you John Kerry or just one of his staffers? That claim was not made. When you are losing the argument, just make things up. You've got egg on your face and we'll let the readers judge for themselves.

You did say that my assertion that there were Muslim slaves in America was "incredible" and a "fairy tale" which leads me and other literate people to conclude that you don't believe there were Muslim slaves in the US.

Also, you quoted me out of context (by citing half a sentence that SHOULD end with the clause "and shipped to the United States") when YOU were losing the argument. I gave you a list of historical sources backing up my statements and then you try to turn the discussion by misrepresenting how I represented your claims.

If what I'm saying is wrong, please let me know and show me some evidence why the presence of Muslims slaves of West African origin is such a "fairy tale" when it is indeed a historical fact.

I'm sure the readers are judging for themselves and I'm sure they side with me and my well-documented claim over your dismissal of the facts. Moral relativism is bad, but your historical revisionism is appaling, especially when you try to pass the blame to the person following objective standards in this argument.
