Apparently (also Wikipedia) many of the African slaves who were brought here were already Muslim. Their faith was severely suppressed on the plantations.

Utter bull-crap, they were taken for slaves BY mainly muslims, probably in particular due to their animist [pagan] spiritual practices.

Go for it. Read without prejudice.
