One of Africa's biggest problems is that people only believe what they want to and end up not knowing what they're talking about.

Africa has some serious problems, not the least of which is the commodization of everything. It's a mindset that places a value on money rather than skills and is a direct result of colonial policies. You don't get to blame Islam for everything.

I think you can substitute just about any noun for "Africa" in that sentence.

Coincidentally, I'm reading this book right now. Not a happy story.

Sorry bud, when I have had to buy goats for sacrifices for voodoo... and islam is very much alive in the communities...

Their other largest problem aside from being either voodeo christian or muslim is the simple thing of education. Western education... dare I say it! OOOOhhhhh thats racist...
Face it they as a people are still 2000 years behind the rest of the world. They are in a difficult place. They have never had a civilization.
Sure we can claim egyptians... other than that nothing. So they are in fact lost so to speak and having to find their way.

Look at central america... evidence abound of meso america where they had full civilizations.

Africa? nothing, nada, zip. They never had a start other than their tribal feudal thing and they havent been able to get past it. Their system will not allow it at grass roots level.
