For Akil of Jurassic 5, Islam is tied to cultural identity. After hearing hip-hop groups like Public Enemy, which sampled Islamic thought, and learning in high school that some of the Africans who came as slaves to America were Muslim, he started believing in Islam.

Wonder what he'd think if he heard that Muslims are enslaving Christians and other non-Muslims in Sudan.

He likely would be surprised that the jolly folks who largely ran said slave trade were Arabs and no doubt Muslims as well. And that the monstrously huge numbers of captive Africans who died enroute to the New World were under their loving care.

This minor and often deliberately overlooked detail of world history apparently is lost on all of our A-A brothers and sisters who have "converted" to Islam.....

This indicates to me that they may have been enslaved twice. The first time by Arabs who force converted them then sold them on down the line.

As far as his being bothered by muslims enslaving non-muslims? Their god allows it cause being muslims makes them better than everyone else. If the non-muslims does not convert then he pays a "protection" tax(dhimmi), if he doesn't pay the tax or convert then the muslim can enslave them or kill them at will. It's all in their infallable book.

By the way, if you're "arab" and "male" then you're practically a "god" according to islam.
