[QUOTE]Originally posted by EgyptianLiving*Com: [QB] Obviously it was for the expansion of the Caliphate - but the primary invasions of Africa were TARGETED at the then occuyping Byzantine forces - thats all I was saying.. And I can see what you are saying about the berber revolts etc, but I don't think such things is the 'cause' of blacks to claim Arab identity - even when they are 'coal black' because to claim being Arab it is not neccessarily in terms of genealogy but also linguistics - just as classify one as 'latino' you get many colours - but they speak a common language. I don't see why North Africa can't be both part of the African continent and the 'Arab world' - because this is primarily due to linguistics - there is no arab empire or single arab union - The Arabs are as divided as the African states. And many analysts can see a shift from secular 'Arab nationalsim' - which was a big thing in the days of Abdel Nasser and the arab-israeli wars- to this pan-islamism that is so prevalent in the Muslim world at large today. Arab nationalism has clearly failed and hasn't gotten the Arab nations anywhere - which is why Sadat done the unthinkable and visited Israel- further isolating Egypt from the Arab world. Ghaddafi as I said is moving away from pan-arabism to this United African idea - whether it is a reality or not. Political Islam is the most potent force in these times - Arab nationalism is finished. But it is one thing to complain and say all this behaviour needs to stop -which I agree, must stop. But what exactly are you suggesting? apart from saying being educated AND having power, etc - what are you suggesting what action be done to prevent - what you see as 'Arabisation' or 'Islamisation' of Africa? Islam is roughly 60% of the continent and Arabic has the most speakers in the continet. [/QB][/QUOTE]
