Islam and Africans!

Dr Pipes,

I don't get it why would Africans in general and African Americans in particular convert to Islam. It seems that Wahhaj is either unaware or he is ignorant and does not know that during the first few centuries of Islam (the so called golden age of Arabian imperialism) millions of Bantu speaking Africans were enslaved and many were shipped to Iraq and the end result they revolted (The revolt of the Zanj) and you will not find any traces of Africans in Iraq anymore! It was a Genocide. Does Wahhaj care about those African slaves? He most likely has no clue

As for the rule of the Arabs in their only civilization, it is a joke. Without the Greek learning, the Jews, the Nestorian Christians and first and foremost the Persians there would have been no Islamic civilization. The Arabs? they were busy enslaving Africans, looting and destroying old civilizations of later antiquity. Very appalling. More? 70% of the books of Islam as per Ali Dashti were written by non Arabs and almost all of them were Persians not Arabs!

Oh I forgot if Wahhaj dare to say that Muhammad was not white he will have every Islamist nutcase and his cousin be after him

However, if you or I decide to become an Islamic cleric with our knowledge of Islam, the language of Islam and the books of Islam we will be replacing him in his little mosque at the blink of an eye! After all the God of Islam does not like black people which is disgusting
