12739235, Also our history with Islam is different. Posted by Lardlad95, Mon Mar-02-15 10:40 AM
And by we I mean new world Africans who came over here as slaves. Outside of Ethiopia and Kongo Christianity was a tool of subjugation and control.
Muslims enslaved West Africans too...but West Africans weren't brought to Islam through conquest. To the contrary those Islamic West African society did some conquering themselves.
In the Islamic world we can see a history that includes kingdoms and Empires. In Christianity you can point to East Africa and the Congo Basin but few of us came from those areas.
