Can Islam Solve All of Africas Issues?

[88m3]

There's Islam in Africa, already, and ABSOLUTELY NOT. It's caused plenty of problems, though.

Are you affirming and absolute,"It's caused plenty of problems though"?

Dude, Islam was in Africa since the 7th century, it has a legacy of Mansa Musa and Timbuktu. Boko Haram was created in 2001. Use something with a longer life span. I have Trick Daddy cds older than that.

who cares?

Boko Haram is what you get when people take religion seriously.

Are you saying you want' Muslims...just muslims who don't take religion seriously?

africa for africans

Africa would have a near impossible time being single currency. debt, corruption, being at the forefront. it may be possible someday. a lot of distrust because of decades of war

its hard to.oppose aid when youre in debt. lot of mismanagement and corruption.

so much potential

AFRICA is a CONTINENT.

Did you forget that?

Taken your religion seriously is different from being extreme. The most devout muslims I met are from West Africa, they are all about the religion, learning and going to the mosque. But you will never hear them talk about politics. This is how they practice islam since the 7th century, way before the mid-east turmoil. Islam was introduced to west africa by spiritual Sufi Muslim movements not the sword, they are equivalent to Christian monks and they take their religion very seriously. Extremist like the Boko Haram which are a off-shoot of the 20th century mid-east turmoil look down upon them because they hate the spiritual way they practice Islam.

Son.

Don't fukk with me right now.

Islam TAKEN SERIOUSLY is beating your wife, killing gays, murking infidels, and all sorts of other ridiculous shyt.

Its IN the fukking books.

Don't tell me the difference between "extremists" and "serious belivers"...cause there isn't one.

Religion is often conduit for imperialism. Before religion, people just invaded lands they wanted. Religion can take some of the work out of war by creating sympathizers, traitors and moles.

Missionaries are sent before soldiers.

Peace

AFRICA is a CONTINENT.

Did you forget that?

Africa needs to let those people draw their own borders honestly...

No. But you clearly did. Want to phone a friend?

No. But you clearly did. Want to phone a friend?

are you fukking stupid?

I'm saying that AFRICANS need to come to understand that those borders are somewhat bullshyt and just accept that they can redraw them how they want.

it might be a little bloody but oh well... ...France's borders used to look like this:

I am fukking with you. How can you tell someone what is the right way to practice their religion you sound idiotic.

beating your wife The quran never says to beat your wife. The Arabic word idribuhunna, is used multiple times in the quran to mean (go abroad or leave). And the prophet said the best of you are best to your wives. But my question is why is it that the majority of converts are women.
killing gays The quran say's that homosexuality is immoral, but no where does it give a punishment. How are homosexuals treated in Jamaica, Haiti or predominate black Christian nations?
murking infidels Read the entire passage. The meaning behind this is self defence, only if your attacked first. Every human being has a right to self defence, right?

But let's get back to the effects that islam had on Africa. Your only source of how Islam has been harmful to Africa, Is Boko Haram, which has the same amount of shelf life as Papoose career.

Two words: BOKO HARAM

No one said they were unified before Islam, the OP asked if Islam could unify the continent that's why I said what I said.

Islam divided people on religious grounds on top of the tribal ones, Islam in Africa brought the beginnings of the Trans Saharan Slave trade/Arab Slave Trade and built the model for the future European trade. Now we're not gonna say Islam did what the Europeans did but it can't be ignored that they did something nonetheless. While for a short while there were moments of cooperation but on the whole the addition of Arab/Islamic culture was the beginning of the African holocaust which was more cultural/religious and gradually along with European involvement became full blown exploitation and genocide.

Significant events could include the end of Ghana's age of prosperity and cultural development by the jihads of Abu Bekr in 1076, before this Ghana was a successful land known for its gold which had a culture and system of society/governance uniquely African and unmolested by outside influence. Ghana recovered its freedom in 1087 but not the power, grandeur, and state organization of before and became nothing more than a small state within Songhai/Mali. El Mansur's invasion of Songhai and the sacking of Timbuktu(way to promote Islamic unity) in 1591 after Askia the Great's death, in fact Turaegs, Arabs, and Berbers made a habit of attacking Timbuktu and this was really the last gasp of African high culture. The disintegration of West Africa from the Islamic Moorish occupations gave Europeans the impression that Africa was nothing more than a savage land of wreck and ruin, of course we know what happened next, wouldn't of been possible without Arabs desire to conquer and spread the word of Islam.

good post.

I wonder why even before Islam these African lands were subject to rule and culture change long before Islam existed. Why any Christian, jewish, mediterranian, whatever else group could just sweep in and round up disconnected scattered tribes. Even in Kingdoms Tribes did not fukk w one another. Or you under the belief that there were all these unified Kingdoms practicing ancient African religions and then Arabs simply came through and crushed the buildings? We may be giving Islam and Arab a little too much credit for shyt that started happening pre 700ad.

Have you ever wondered why the morrish, berbers and other groups were so well equipped and advanced even before their Islamic conversations? You blame these groups for the " molestation" and "occupation" of West Africa........ did you ever think that these Africans might have took over other lands regardless of being whatever religion??? There is only 2 answers: 1) either acknowledge Islam as a powerful uniting force for Africans and a way towards advancement or 2) Make the claim that without Islam these lands would have lived peacefully in harmony, Islam invented slavery, and these people would have had no interest in occupation if they never read the Quran.

Were you ever taught about the slave routes that pre-existed Islam in Africa.... or do you believe that Arabs carved them out of nowhere like they were some Great invincible force n shyt, lol? Did you know that the slaves were already captured and that the human capital was part of the over all trade that occurred between African and Asia since the beginning of time? Is it possible that its a fact that 100% of African slaves died in captivity..... UNLESS they were traded to a Muslim.... in that case they had a few ways to either buy freedom, be given freedom, or to at least not have their children become slaves??

I'm just asking if any of that is a possibility, in your opinon.


And naw, I don't think the Ghanian empire is as weak as you painted it. I think the Africans were stronger and smarter than we give them credit for with our modern revisionist history.

 

[Blackking]

FOR fukkS SAKE...get Muhammad's nuts out of your mouth.

RELIGION = POINTLESS

Theres no need for it.

AT ALL.

Theres nothing to be gained by believing in magic bullshyt.

If you wanna talk about political structure or how to run a society...cool...but believing in a prophet who talks to "god"...thats absolute lunacy.

Just drop it already.

lol, went off on the deep end... I just asked a question.

and i answered the op as no.
