I wonder if some them are forced to convert like they force girls in the UK to convert. Not all that far out the realm if you think about it. There are plenty of Muslims in jail.

The same way they seem to have forgotten that the GOP of Lincoln and the GOP of the 1950s and 60s did nothing for them, they have also forgotten that the people who sold them out of Africa into slavery were muslims.

Incredible. Apparently it is true that the big lie told often enough a la the liberal democrats were the force behind the Civil Rights Act carries the day.

I know it sounds screwy but this is what some think.

Christianity is a White Mans religion and it means oppression to Black People.

Good luck to those who want to convert to Islam but
I don't see any freedom in Islam at all.

I only see another Slave Master.

Hey! How dare you inject facts into an emotional issue?!?!?

Both groups are full of anger, self-loathing and hatred. Both groups indulge in self-defeating behavior and blame their troubles on someone else.
No surprise that they found out that they were made for each other.

The religion of Arab slave traders who were, are, and will be at the forefront of the slave trade.

Christianity has the same discipline. My suspicion is that they real reason they are attracted to Islam is that it preaches violence.

Well, you know most uneducated Black folk have a history of submission. For many, submission to authority still feels too comfortable to resist. Freedom is a fearsome thing. That is sad.

Bad news. The sins of our forefathers are about to haunt us.

US Muslims will be OK unless they start blowing up things, and then, all we will be able to do is to shoot and ask questions later.

Bingo You git the answer.

**** Converts within the black community say they are attracted to the disciplines of prayer, the emphasis within Islam on submission to God and the religion's affinity with people who are oppressed..*******

These people who say this are lying. They get into Islam for the hatred. The license to commit violence. The ways to submit their women to Islamic rules where the women are hidden away behind veils and treated like sub-humans.

They can spout any other crap they like but their reason are less than honorable.

Right, put a burqua on yo' momma and sister, and pound the hell out of them when they want to boogie!

What a POS article. No black person who has a brain bigger than a pea would submit to a religion of slavery. Malcom X did and it got him dead. When he wanted to preach on freedom, they put a cap on his ass.

It's the ideology of victimhood, coupled with divinely-sanctioned justification of violence.

This isn't a good thing and why we permit recruiters of Islam into the prisons is a mystery.

I read the other day that Michael Jackson was converting to Islam. I thought they didn't approve of pedophilia? /s

We Americans, of all persuasions need to educate our selves, Slavery by Islam is still in practice today. The following book is a good start

http://etude.uoregon.edu/spring2004/books/slave.html

Slave: My True Story. New York: Public Affairs, 2003.

Reviewed by Kelly Stewart

Mende Nazer spent her early childhood playing games and attending classes with children in her Sudanese tribal village, helping her parents harvest their sorghum crops, and sleeping with the family's pet cat. But one horrifying night, a gang of Arabs murdered the adults in the village and rounded up the children. At 12 years old, Nazer was sold into slavery. The year: 1993.

Slave: My True Story describes one woman's years of forced labor for a wealthy Sudanese family. After enduring mental and physical abuse and almost giving up hope for escape, Nazer is sent to serve a Sudanese diplomat in London, where she finds a way to break for freedom, but then becomes ensnared in the British immigration system

British journalist Damien Lewis, who has reported from the Sudan, heard about Nazer's plight from Sudanese friends. Lewis witnessed Nazer's escape from her master's home in London and, after her escape, spent a summer painstakingly turning her rudimentary English into prose with the help of an Arabic-English dictionary, drawings and sign language. Slave is the product of their collaboration.

Written in simple and clear language, Slave is filled with vivid scenes that illustrate the abuse and monotony of Nazer's life in slavery. Although the writing style is more simplistic than elegant, this narrative about present-day slavery is a page-turner. The theme of Nazer's stolen childhood runs throughout the book, even when she is free, she finds it difficult to make decisions on her own. Nazer also emphasizes protecting ancient Sudanese tribal culture from Arab encroachment. She glorifies tribal customs so frequently that when she later argues against the ritual circumcision of tribal women, her words seem out of place

In addition to alerting readers to the longevity of the slave trade, the book played a key role in the British government's recent decision to grant asylum to Nazer, who feared re-enslavement if she returned to Sudan. Whether or not Nazer's words about tribal culture were toned down to win British support, her memoir is a harrowing reminder that hundreds of untold stories are being played out between masters and slaves around the world today.

I guess you don't understand. The only slavery that black people in American care about today is slavery that ended about a century and a half ago. The issue of current slaves of any color is not a way to be granted a seat at the table of power when the Democrats have their rightful control of this country's government.

Has "King" also adopted the custom of really being married and not running out the door when the children are born?

African Americans don't seem to have the first clue about Islam. Islam oppresses black Africans, as indeed it oppresses everyone who lives under it.
