Well in all honesty, I should have named this the "The NOT so new angle: Why you cannot be black and be a Christian".


There’s a noticeable trend on social media lately that I find laughable.

Whenever the Israel-Iran conflict or the Israel-Gaza situation gains traction, a wave of memes (Their favourite meme being the one of a man looking into the mirror and the reflection is that of a white man: The thought behind that meme is that, by being a christian, you see yourself more as a white man, which is why they believe when you look in the mirror, you see a reflection of a white man...childish stuff).

And then in the midst of all this attempts to "liberate your minds from the white man's religion", they suddenly start inserting islamic propaganda, a common one is by pushing the idea that Islam is a “pro-Black” religion. They often contrast it with Christianity, claiming it’s the true path for Black people, complete with selective historical references and emotional appeals.

What’s interesting is how quickly that energy disappears when the conversation shifts to the atrocities committed by the Arab-backed RSF in Sudan , the mass killings, rapes, and ethnic cleansing targeting Black Sudanese populations. On those topics, the same accounts that were loudly promoting Islam are nowhere to be found.

Pan-africanism: Spotting the genuine ones and the wolves in sheep's clothing

If someone genuinely criticizes Christianity from a Pan-African perspective and advocates returning to traditional African spiritual practices, I’m open to having a respectful and constructive discussion. I’d even be interested in learning from their point of view.

However, if a person claims to be pro-Black, spends their time attacking Christianity and the West, and when asked for an alternative, pushes Islam, an Arab supremacist religion with a deeply anti-Black history and doctrine , that’s where I regret even giving that person 5 seconds of my time.

This is the same religion that used the term “Kafir” as a slur for Black people, justified and sustained the Trans-Saharan slave trade (which lasted longer and caused far more deaths than the Trans-Atlantic trade and continues in parts of the Arab world today, Black men were castrated as the wimpy arab men were scared of black masculinity), and tried to bury the memory of the Zanj Rebellion, the largest slave uprising in the Arab world. “Zanj” was their derogatory term for Black slaves, a word later adopted by the Ottomans and still used in Turkey, till this day.

When independent historians began uncovering the truth, These arabs quickly altered the events of the Zanj rebellion and inserted themselves as the heros of the story, claiming Arabs were actually the ones who spear-headed the Zanj rebellion, that's like saying a slave master joined the slaves to revolt against slave masters? makes sense? welcome to the twisted mind of arab backed islamic propaganda.

Ending notes:

If you’re a sincere Pan-Africanist interested in reviving authentic African traditions and spirituality, I’m happy to listen and engage honestly.
But if you’re simply an Islamist pretending to be Pan-African, using “pro-Black” rhetoric as a vehicle to promote Islam, then this conversation isn’t for you. That miserable and poorly cooked propaganda has been exposed numerous times and would continue to be exposed. Your sentiments are clear for all to see, you are so pro-black but pay more attention to Gaza than Sudan, so pro-black but you pay more attention to Iran than the situation in the Middle belt.

Sick of the islamists who have miraculously turned into overnight pan-African activists.

Oh and since we are making meme's, here's a meme for you overnight "pan-africanist" Muslims...that in itself is an oxymoron.

Almost forgot their favourite go to line:

Bilal did this, Bilal did that, The Ummah is one.

Islam(by way of the Arabs) has enslaved much of Africa for almost 1400 years. In all of that period, what benefit did Africa gain? Nothing of value. However, when the white man came to Africa, despite Islam retaining its choke hold on much of Africa, the white mann brought education, science and, yes, Christianity that began in Africa all those many 100s of years before.

Sadly, the corruption that is Islam continues to plague much of Africa the same as iit continues to plague most of the Islamic countries around the world, one of the major reasons why African nations with a significant Islamic population today look like 7th century paradise than 21st century developing countries 🥱🥱

Glad that you didn't just come from a "Christian=good, Islam=bad" perspective, rather you mentioned the pros and cons and that's a conversation a lot of us as Africans need to have but most Africans would rather avoid these types of topics. 2026 and many of us still don't understand the benefits of critical thinking.

No religion is good. However, unlike other religions, Islam is more a olitical system than a religion . Islam imposes an Arabized way of life and living -- language, culture, slavery, etc.,-- on its colonized population, essentially damaging their ability to havs and maintain an identity separate from Islam. We see this every where Islam is in power. Islam's 7th century political ideology is pushed even in our 21st century. It is anti equal rights, anti human rights, anti feminism, and staunchly pro slavery and pro brutal subjugation of non-islamics. That is what makes it one of, if not the most terrible of all of the religions . 🥱🥱
