Proudly African Muslim

Submitted by Gnambeni (France), Aug 10, 2010 at 10:29

I am a full time proudly African Muslim man, I was born in Africa and blessed to learn some few things on both religious and secular education, I am lucky to travel many parts of Africa and Europe. I feel very comfortable living, and dreaming African-Muslim.

However, the thirsty of knowing who I am is always there. I have been reading a book called Al'America by Jonathan curiel and in it he mentioned this book "servants of Allah: African Muslims enslaved in the Americas" and when I saw it I quickly jumped on the net to found out more about the book and here I am.

I will get it as soon as possible. Last: guys I am writing from France under the socialist Sarkozy who is coming out all clear to force everyone particularly Africans and Arabs to give up either their ancestor's cultural themes and be 110% European-French or else give up the French citizenship. Is there any different between what happened hundreds years ago to what is happing right now particularly in Europe? Only Allah knows!!!

I like the song "Sour Times" by Riz MC, You can watch it on you Tube.
