How’s it better when it’s the premise for transatlantic slavery and Berlin conference that has kept Africa perpetually poor and underdeveloped? All the things slaves in the new world went through were also justified by the Bible.

Mali and Songhay (2 examples out of many) were Islamic civilisations and Islam aided script writing in both civilisations hence they have one of the oldest libraries in the world in Timbuktu.

Also, everything western civilisation lay claim to started from the translation of Arabic scripts from Arab scholars. Arab scholars were the ones who were able to merge all ancient knowledge from different civilisations together - to create the basis of modern civilisation. Physics, Maths, Chemistry, Astronomy, etc.

I’m technically a Christian and I don’t like the extremism (a lot of the modern wahabhism in Islam were created by the CIA but that’s a topic for another day) in Islam, racism against Africans by Arabs and trans-Saharan slavery. But Islam has contributed immensely to the world. And you don’t have to like the religion to acknowledge that.
I don't know why Muslims are quick to bring up the transatlantic slave trade perpetrated by Christians.

Are you being disingenuous or you just dont know that Arabs enslaved Africans aswell and it was way worse than the transatlantic one?

Arabs did it for 1500 years..Oh and are still doing it.

They castrated black men and 80% of the people taken were women because Muslims have a fetish for sex slavery.

Up till today, it continues. Mauritania and Libya are modern slavery perpetrators. The common denominator with both countries are
Arab Muslims.

There are 57 members of organization of Islamic Countries including Nigeria. Your best option is to drink sniper. Because Islam is the fastest growing religion on earth
Lol. Muslims are born, not made. The only reason Islam is the fastest religion is because they shit out kids more than other demographic. It's a tactic, just like love jihad.


Nobody is converting to Islam. They simply have kids more than any other demographic.

Northern Muslims always get in a frenzy whenever they see an Igbo Muslim,they Pray that more should be converted to Islam In igboland but the truth is that Islam and Igbo tradition is like oil and water, they can never mix,one was sayin that he would only vote an Igbo Muslim


Sweet
The reason they hate igbo is because Igbos represent Christianity as they're more religiously homogenous.

Just thank European colonization. There are many historical facts showing that without the European intervention, the boundary of Islam around the niger area was the Atlantic ocean.
Many European scholars have given reasons why Europe decided to ventured into Africa especially at the turned of 15thC, AD. And the most common motives supported by undisputable facts and evidence in most of these write up for their incursion into Africa were that they wanted to first stop expansion of Islamic civilization in the continent and secondly, to expand their economy base.
Produce evidence. The incursion of Islamic caliphate into Yorubaland ended in 1840 in Oshogbo.

Did you even pay attention to the video at all ?

Most of the Muslims in Japan are not indigenous. They are immigrants and they have helped skew the statistics on Muslims in Japan. My point still stands that Muslims are born and not made.

Majority of native Japanese people hate Islam and always will!

Notice that you hardly hear of terrorist attacks in Japan? Coincidence? I think not.

What are you rambling about? And can’t you see that I cited “Trans-Saharan Slavery” in my post? Or perhaps you want me to explain “Trans-Saharan Slavery” to you since it seems you can’t grasp what it entails?

I don’t care about whatever fetish they have since the same is applicable to Christians, especially OG Christianity, which is the Catholic Church. The priests are still molesting kids (which is a tradition to them) and homosexuality is cultural to them.

Anyway, that’s off-point. You claimed Islam hasn’t contributed anything to humanity (which is an idiotic lie) and I just wanted to refute the claim. Islam arguably contributed more to modern civilisation than Christianity since Muslims were the catalyst for European renaissance. Without them - Europe would still be stuck in the dark ages.

A lot of you need to get your heads out of your arses and stop letting hate becloud your sense of reasoning. You can’t acquire knowledge with hate in your heart. You probably need stop focusing solely on Arabs when it comes to Islam and perhaps also look at Persians since they’re also Muslims. And no one can deny their immense contributions to the modern world.

Also, some of the greatest civilisations in West Africa were Muslim civilisations. Christianity didn’t build zilch in West Africa - Islam and indigenous religions ran the show and civilised the people.

BTW, I’m not a Muslim.

So it's okay for you to talk about what the Catholic Church has done but I'm telling you about Islam and you want to label it hate?

The Arabs didn't just take Africans across the sahara, they were also take to the middle East.
What the Arabs did was far worse.

At least the Europeans freed black slaves, the Arabs never intended to free their slaves and it disturbed them to know that blacks were being converted to Islam because in Islam, enslaving another Muslim in unacceptable.

I never said Arabs didn't contribute anything to humanity. They did, but for Africans, they were a source of pain
Arabs mainly brought religious education to Africa. And Africans didn't need that.

What's my business with your numbers, as if that's something to cheer about.
Whites are the smallest ethnic group in the world yet the most powerful and influential force in our world.
What has your population brought to the world If not sorrow, tears and blood shedding wherever it goes.
Look at Nigeria, Muslim are in the majority yet the most backward, violent and primitive. Least likely to contribute towards the positivity of Nigeria.
Buhari brough his fanatical Islamic ideology to the centre and Nigeria became a disaster.

When I was in medical school, 90% of the medical students were Christians, 99% of our consultants were Christians in a state that's 50.50 Muslim-christian.
U will never see Muslims where it matters, it always useless things like breeding like rats.

To say Christianity didn't build zilch is crass ignorance from your side. Christianity gave Africans the chance to embrace western education, the bedrock of modern technology.
They gave u education, written language and in some areas- humanity and civilisation.
Anywhere Christianity step foot in Africa, they build church and schools simultaneously. The so called ajami script wasn't widespread and most African languages were unwritten until christian linguistics started developing Latinised alphabets for African languages.
Yes Islamic civilization was impressive in west Africa but had disappeared by the turn of the 19th century. The Timbuktu legacy was already dead and explorers who visited the town in the 18th and 19th century were shocked to find a desolate village with nothing to show for its past.

Lol, I only cited some of the ills of Christianity and Roman Catholic Church as rebuttal to show that Christianity is just as evil since you only want to focus on the negative aspects of Islam. The crusades are still ongoing - they just had a facelift.

I don’t even like Arabs and a lot of tribes in Africa that act like Arabs, especially Fulanis (I also don’t hate them). However, I just think it’s disingenuous to act like Islam is all about Jihad and it’s not the catalyst for modern civilisation.

Personally, I think a lot of people look at the 19th century Fulani jihad and think that’s what Islam has to offer. Islam got to west Africa in the 8th century and it built a lot of civilisations. Islam for example got to Yorubaland in the 1400s through one of the Madinka subgroups who were traders and they were allowed to practise their religion Oyo empire. And subsequently the King built a mosque for them and some Yorubas converted to Islam willingly. If the religion was that problematic - that wouldn’t have happened because it’s at the height of Oyo empire and its great cavalry. Fulani Jihad came about 400yrs later in the 19th century and they were more of marauders using Islam to steal lands than Muslims and weren’t different from British marauding pirates that used Christianity to enslave people and steal lands.

BTW, what black slaves did they free? Lol. Most black people are still European slaves - they just don’t know it.

Anyway, leave Arabs and focus on Persians because they were the first to outlaw slavery and give people equal rights. And they’re Muslims. And give Islam the credit it deserves

What do you mean by “they gave you”? And learn how to be civil when quoting me - the use of “crass ignorance” is inappropriate and disrespectful.

A form of ‘civilisation’ that makes you dependent on a bigger civilisation is more of a client state than a real civilisation. There’s no ingenuity and complexity associated with the term “civilisation”, in copying - it has to come from within and modern African states lack that.

Conversely, medieval west African states had it in abundance with Islam and traditional religions and they were able to build some of the most advanced states without outside interference.

You referred to someone as 'idiotic lie' because she said Islam has contributed nothing to humanity. But started foaming in the mouth when u were caught out writing nonsense about Christianity.
You not only ignorant but a big hypocrite, that's why u speaking from both sides of the mouth.

Go and learn about civilisation before u start displaying your ignorance again.

Which is civilisation is ever independent, are u not the one here saying Europeans civilisation copied from Persians and Arab.
And which Timbuktu civilisation was independent? Tell me about the so called ingenuity.
Was it the madrass, the university, libraries, scholars?
Was the medicine or chemistry they taught different from the ones in Baghdad university?.
How many of their Islamic scholars teachings on Islamic jurisprudence was eventually adopted into mainstream Islamic hadiths.

Modern technology is based on Western civilisation. Embrace it and make the best use out of it. The Chinese who are likely to become the next goal superpower did not invent any new civilisation or returned to their old ming dynasty civilization.
The penetrated the western civilization, got what they want out of it and left out the rubbish.
We should do the same in Africa. The problem with blacks is we overrepresenting in the bad things with western culture and absolutely non existent in the positive aspect.

I’m guessing you’re one of these brainwashed and half-baked Bible thumping clowns who are perpetual victims of pulpit pimps who sell “faith and prosperity” whilst robbing your hard earned money. Take heart - it’s a dog eat dog world. Someone has to sell the dreams and the gullible ones who’re foolish enough to buy it would’ve have to get on with it, lol.

You’re not only half-baked - you sound like a functional illiterate with fried brain cells. I shouldn’t even be engaging you because I’m losing brain cells in the act but I’ll do it for the sake of it.

Let’s get back the original post I quoted: the poster claimed Islam has contributed zilch to humanity. And my rebuttal was to basically highlight some of the immense contributions of Islam/Muslims.

However, what got under your skin, as a Bible thumping git, is my claim that Christianity has built zilch in West Africa while Islam and indigenous religions built the greatest civilisations in the same region.

So, if you disagree with that - the onus is on you to list the civilisation(s) Christianity built in West Africa.

Wholesale copy and paste isn’t civilisation - there has to be ingenuity and complexities involved to attain that status. Even the Islamic civilisations in west Africa had a lot of indigenous aspects of it hence the creation of Sufi Islam which is indigenous to West Africa - that’s the element of ingenuity I was alluding to.

Europe copied the Islamic civilisations and added elements of its own to create western civilisation - that’s the ingenuity I’m alluding to.

China copied western civilisation without the religion (unlike Africans) and created a unique system that works for China - that’s the ingenuity I’m alluding to.

Brainwashed and braindead Bible thumping African gorillas like you got flogged into accepting Christianity and lost your sense of reasoning whilst becoming a slave to a religion that enslaved you. And no matter how you twist it - Christianity is yet to build a civilisation in West Africa. But it did build gazillion of Churches for clowns like you to part ways with your money - to pulpit pimps, in exchange for faith while dickeating white people. Too bad, it lacks the requisite ingenuity associated with civilisation, lol.

If a pastor swindled u of your money, pls sort it out with him or involve the police. Dont put your frustration on me, I'm not responsible for your stupidity, because I don't see why you all over the place lamenting about churches or pastors.

U very shallow, debating with u is waste of time. Go and read about civilisation, culture and religious dynamism.
Your statement on Sufi Islam confirms u just confabulating based on your ignorance.
Let's ask chat gpt about Sufi Islam.

Sufi Islam is not indigenous to West Africa in the sense that it did not originate there. Sufism is a mystical and spiritual dimension of Islam that emerged in the 8th century in the Middle East, specifically in what is now Iraq.

Now thank me for curing your ignorance, at least u won't repeat such again.

Meanwhile continue hoping on Jesus Christ to build black first successful civilisation while u continue to elect useless leaders.
The bible has a word for u

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

If a pastor swindled u of your money, plssort it out with him or involve the police. Dont put your frustration on me, I'm not responsible for your stupidity, because I don't see why you all over the place lamenting about churches or pastors.

U very shallow, debating with u is waste of time. Go and read about civilisation, culture and religious dynamism.
Your statement on Sufi Islam confirms u just confabulating based on your ignorance.
Let's ask chat gpt about Sufi Islam.

Sufi Islam is not indigenous to West Africa in the sense that it did not originate there. Sufism is a mystical and spiritual dimension of Islam that emerged in the 8th century in the Middle East, specifically in what is now Iraq.

Now thank me for curing your ignorance, at least u won't repeat such again.

Meanwhile continue hoping on Jesus Christ to build black first successful civilisation while u continue to elect useless leaders.
The bible has a word for u

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
Proverb 29.2
Lol, you’re still arguing blindly, you functional retard.

Googling and ChatGPT won’t teach you real history - you acquire knowledge by reading far and wide.

The origin of Sufi Islam is still disputed - some claim it’s India, some claim it’s Iraq, some claim it’s Africa. But evidence of Sufi Islam became a thing after Umayyad Caliphate, which the Maghreb/Mauritania was part of. And the original inhabitants of Maghreb/Mauritania were Balfour people - who’re part of the larger Mandinka group that built Ghana empire (not Ghana the country), Mali empire and Songhay empire.

The type of Islam they practiced allowed the mesh of African mysticism and Islam which is what Sufism allows. So, I credit them with it since it’s indigenous to the region. And most people practicing Sufism today are Africans.

Anyway, that’s beside the point and don’t run from my question.

So, I will ask again: can you cite the civilisation(s) that Christianity built in West Africa?

Every student of history is aware of the golden age of Islam in west Africa and the great civilisations/empires it built. Ditto indigenous African religions. Cite the one built by Christianity.

I await your response, Mr. SlaveTee15

Esan people. My grand father told me long ago that his father was among men sent by thier zaki to what is now know as nothern Edo to fight Muslim incursions. As a result of this the marauders from idah in kogi could not go past auchi. From Ewu down to edo (Benin-city) was spared the blood lost that came from Muslim carnage.
You're right, the Esans stopped the further invasion of the Fulani jihadists to the South. Esan Oye !

See this one baiting me with strawman argument.
I'm a proud afrocentrist for your info.
So u barking at the wrong tree regarding Christian civilization.
Talk to me about black civilization and I will respond.

Your stinking hypocrisy is what I'm pointing out here...

Christianity didn’t build zilch in West Africa - Islam and indigenous religions ran the show and civilised the people.

Christian missionaries brought u education, introduced western technology, taught u how to read and write in your native language.
They discouraged pagan practice in some areas like canibalism, infanticide and human ritual. Gave twins the chance to live.
They condemned slave trade in west Africa while your so called Islamic civilization encouraged it so long as u not a Muslim.

Yet u had the audacity to claim they did nothing. Something is wrong with that your cone head, it needs panel beating.
