Most converts to Islam in the states are Black

Most converts to islam in the U.S are black

What do you think about this?

Its said that about little under half of the slaves taken to america were muslim(& could write in arabic).The rest being of various pagan beliefs.

Ive asked a few black converts what made them convert before,and they all said,basically,the same thing.Converting back to the religion of their ancestors,and getting rid of their "slave surname".In my mind,im like how do you know that your ancestors were islamic,when its more probable that they were of pagan traditions.You should start praying to the wind,animals,etc lol
Alot of BM in prison convert to Islam....

I dont think the number of Black american muslims will exceed that of christians though
Culture is too intertwined with christianity

 

My man said that he converted because he's studied a lot of different religions and it is Islam that makes the most sense to him. I don't think it has to do with his race or current location.

 

.

Yeah..that does seem to happen quite often, not Just in the USA either. I think Mike tyson converted after going to prison.

 

Wonder how he came to that conclusion?

 

Yup

 

Here is an angry persons take on this:

I don't know, he can be hard to understand. That's why I love him so much. He keeps me on my toes and guessing. He's my Gemini

 

FUCK ISLAM and the camel that bullshit rode in on.

Islam was FORCED onto Africa at the point of a sword..It is just as much of an invader's religion as Christianity.

Show me a Muslim abolitionist

You can't.

 

That blog is not from a Muslim. This quote here tells all you need to know without picking at all the inaccuracies...

The only person who would say someones spiritual life is in jeopardy for reverting is a Christian. And a fundamentalist one at that.

The Qur'an is more clear on racism than any other religious book out there. It specificly calls out the equality of all men and women based on piety and not skin color. Unlike the Bible, you do not need to read into it or try to interpret anything. It is precisely clear on the subject.

This is from the Prophets last speech...

His last words were specifically against racism because it was important. I am not saying there are no racists Muslims, but I am saying it is specifically banned in the Qur'an. There is also many stories regarding the first muezzin named Bilal who was a freed slave from Ethiopia which are used to illustrate valuing men on piety and not skin color.

 

Nasr al-Din of Sengal.

 

The religions are fine...the highly fallible and misguided (and human) deliverers of the message are what corrupt people's faith

 

Makes sense to me :smt023

 

lol

Ive heard about how arabs/berbers(especially in north Africa) discriminate against their fellow muslim sub saharan African "brothers".The 2 have been having "issues" for centuries,and religion certainly dosent change anything.

Ive always wondered if Malcom x knew about the trans -sub saharan slave trade?

 

I dont think that there is a religion that condones,or supports slavery

Its the cultures around them that do

 

It also has to do with SAFETY issues in prison..

A lot of white supremacists are so-called 'christian brothers,' so for protection and community, black guys turn to Islam, because the majority of Islam inmates are black.

 

Yeah, most have been changed to reflect the different values of people today vs those living a thousand or more years ago.

But what I said was the Qur'an lays it out (about racism) in black and white unlike any other religious text from that long ago that I know of.

 

Some white christians,and "white" arabs are hypocrites

especially many of those so called "Christians" down there in the Bible belt.

They say the most segregated time in america is on sunday(sabbath day)

Black southern baptist continue carry the tradition to attend their own,historically black churches

there is a reason for this......

i remember reading Fedrick Douglasses biography.

He mentioned about how the most "religious" masters(attended church frequently),tended to be the most violent and nefarious.....

 

Thanks for the insight.:smt023

 

It also has to do with the amount of money and prosthelytizing Saudi has poored into prison communities. For decades now, they have made sure those prison libraries were full of Wahhabi doctrine. They lobbied to have Wahhabi Imams in prisons. When no one else showed any interest in our societal throw aways, they did.

And they arent letting up. Now they are working hard to convert the Hispanic prisoners, and it is working. The number of Hispanic Muslims is growing fast inside.

Got an email from a friend in a Fed prison in California who said a riot jumped off in his area. The hispanics there outnumber blacks about 10 to 1. When the riot jumped off, the hispanics were told to leave the Muslims alone. He described the riot going on for over 6 hours and no one even bothered to come in his room. They would look in, see him and move on. So yeah, it there is security in it.

 

Having watched some of these white supremacists on national geographic, I think what you saying is logical and makes sense.
