AFRIKAN MUSLIM OPPRESSION
When you are in control of the media, you chose to call it what you want. You chose to use the word Arab and Black as you like. What exactly is Black and what is Arab. In Africa (African Africa), we have different ethnicities. When we say Arab (in Sudan), we mean Arab speaker 90% of the time. The legacy of colonialism has the lighter “Blacks” perpetuating superiority notions over their darker brothers. It was the same in Rwanda. The fine featured Tutsis against the “thicker” featured Hutus. This is all the legacy of divide and rule. The house slave against the field slave. The light skinned Black against the dark skinned Black. The Sunni against the Shiite, the Jew against the Muslim.
Truth is important an the truths about the appalling conditions and the enslavement (past and present) of Africans needs to be brought to the foreground as oppose to quite utterance in polite Islamic society. Oppression of a people cannot be hushed forever so as Muslims if we think the oppression of African people can go on, the poor opportunities afforded to them, the taboos regarding marrying them, the denial of their impact into the birth and growth of Islam, the cultural genocide and appropriation into the “Arab” or “Pakistani” culture. The Nation of Islam exists because of the disempowerment of Africans within Islam. It is self-defence, self-preservation against annihilation. People write books these days on Islamic civilisation and do spend one drop of ink on Africa.
African Muslims living among there Arab and Asian brothers are treated with contempt. Some brothers complain even white Britain wasn’t this racist to them in the days before Islam. Africa and Africans must be dubbed the “invisible continent” as when there is a problem now one listens. It is strange that Asian always refer to every Black brother their meet with “When did you convert?” ignorant of the fact that Africans have been Muslims longer than Meccans of Saudi; Africans were the first ethnicity to embrace Islam. Islam is observed by many historians as an indigenous religion in Africa (East and West below the Sahara). The system of racism needs immediate removal from our societies we can lay back and wait for the European anti-Islamic force to find all of our terrible weakness and expose them. For a long time now, African people (meaning people of African decent) have been the single largest group embracing Islam. This trend we soon grind to a halt not as more and more of the hypocrisy of the Muslims are revealed. Already the legacy of Arab enslavement of African people is becoming common knowledge and poisoning people against Islam. We will wake up one day and find every single person on this planet against us. And this would be for our neglect to do what we were instructed to do SERVE JUSTICE.
How many Islamic Web site even report on the Darfur crisis? There is no sincere effort made to have any news on Africa (Sudan etc). It is this "racial" preference that plagues Muslims. Africa does not exist; the problems of Africa are not the problems of the greater Muslim community. In the mosque in the UK there is no call for aid to Sudan or Ethiopia or Kenya or Senegal? But we are forever hearing about Pakistan, Palestine and Bangladesh- Why? We like to talk about racism against Muslims but what about the racism we inflict against each other. It is strange that as an African in the Diaspora you always associate Islam with greater love of Africa, pan-Africanism, Christianity is flawed as it is the “White mans religion and teaches us to hate ourselves” this is the rhetoric many Africans in the Diaspora come into contact when seeking Islam. Yet in Great Britain, in particular Africans re-embracing Islam seem to give up the White slave master for the Arab slave master. They dress like Arabs and embrace an Arab culture. The exact same thing, which occurs to them in Christianity, they are now doing in Islam.
It is a terrible site to see these wifeless victims of cultural domination wondering around this Earth 21st century slaves. Culture is important and we need to teach people to be Muslim does not mean to be Arab. God made each and everyone of us unique, physically, culturally etc. We must embrace our uniqueness in our pursuits of spiritual gains.
