This is the sort of thread that the jackass, goFuckyourself, cannot misinterpret and distort, because well, these are photocopies of the publication itself, rather than his own reworked or selectively excised citations, unless...

Indeed; agreed and guaranteed, this is why he'll avoid it for all intents and purposes.

Then again, he could bring an argument from other threads he had with you onto this one. So, it might not be entirely troll-proof.

True, he is a distraught troll desperate for attention, but as for his latest straw; I just don't see it happening.

I posted this thread for clarification(for the numerous Keita threads) over a week or so ago. It was avoided and/or ignored. I bumped it, to bring upon clarification once again.

Is this 'Mindovermatter' the former 'Knowleidgesky?'
So when you find that everybody sees you for the jackass you are, you just change your nick. And then think uncle Egmond will not find you out?

^Wow, you are truly one dense and retarded individual, seriously. If you just realized I changed my name. You don't belong in intelligent folk discussions. You nitwit !

You must have definitely rode the short yellow bus to school; huh?

Oh I'm sorry, I must have missed it. Where does he say Europeans are hybrids of two differentiated racial types? [Roll Eyes]

You are read like an open jackass; see...

^ As usual, if you even mention the trolls they come running like hungry dogs or in this case, hungry jackasses!

Hey jackass, where did anyone mention anything about "racial differentiation" between indigenous Europeans and the African migrants that mixed with them??

I definitely recommend this entire book and not only Keita's contribution. Holloway's actually was the most interesting and appealing to me but the data contained herein is invaluable as the perspectives are so diverse.

Definatly have to include Ajami in this one:

http://westafricanislam.matrix.msu.edu/ajami/

jami is the centuries-old practice of using modified Arabic scripts to write non-Arabic languages. It comes from the Arabic word for foreigner or non-Arab and is used widely throughout West Africa for both religious and secular writings.

Ajami in the Senegambia makes accessible over 20 handwritten ajami manuscripts produced by West African scholars. The texts contain insightful discussions on mutual understanding between people of different faiths, races and ethnic backgrounds in Senegambia. They capture several Senegambian Muslim scholars' views on peaceful cohabitation, moderation and non-violence that have been a prominent feature of Senegambian communities.

Manuscripts appear in discrete scholar galleries where users can:

* Examine the original texts
* Watch and listen to scholars read/recite documents in four African languages including Wolof, Mandinka, Jóola Foñi, and three varieties of Haal-pula(a)r
* Read transliterations and translations of manuscripts in African languages, English, and French
* Experience a synchronized multimedia presentation of the manuscripts, video recitations, and transliteration/translations of featured ajami texts

http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2010/01/10/the_lost_script/

The term Ajami (Arabic: عجمي‎), or Ajamiyya (Arabic: عجمية‎), which comes from the Arabic root for "foreign" or "stranger," has been applied to Arabic-based orthographies used for writing African languages.

Since African languages involve phonetic sounds and systems different from the Arabic language, there have often been modifications of the Arabic script to transcribe them -- a process not unlike what has been done with the Arabic script in non-Arabic speaking countries of the Middle East, and with the Latin alphabet in Africa or with the Vietnamese alphabet.

The West African Hausa is an example of a language written using Ajami, especially during the pre-colonial period when Qur'anic schools taught Muslim children Arabic, and by extension, Ajami. When Western colonizers adopted a Latin orthography for Hausa, Ajami went into decline, and today is employed less frequently than the Latin standard orthography. However, Hausa Ajami is still in widespread use, especially in Islamic circles.
