Jim: I concur with you. I personally will pass on Islam.I can not find any justification for Africans or African-Americans to join Islam.Of course I could make similar modified arguments for christianity.But from what I know of Islam (I stand corrected) there is lots of condoning of justification of slavery in the Koran (or is it Quran).Moslem leaders in the Sudan have engaged in genocide against the Christian and indigenous Africans in the Sudan and other parts of Africa.Despite Islam's claim that it was a black (Bilal) who first called the faithful to prayer,I have reports from many ex-pats who worked in Saudi Arabia,the UAE,and other middle eastern counties that Arab moslems really discriminate against the African moslems. Are there tipsters who can share some light of Arab Moslem-Dark African moslem race relations? It is true that Malcolm X had a conversion when he hajjed to Mecca but I suspect this was more ceremonial. I am content to remain an infidel. ( To be continued)
