[QUOTE]Originally posted by markellion: [QB] Evidence "Arabs" were not distorting history. The two comments in bold show that those were common knowledge in the Muslim world not something hidden or little known. [b]And it has been remarked that even Alexander the Great is in Asia an unknown personage by the side of this honoured Negro[/b] [b]Moses, e. g., was a black man![/b] Blyden http://books.google.com/books?id=a90AAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA609&dq=#v=onepage&q=&f=false [QUOTE]A third very important influence which has retarded the development of the Christian Negro may be found in the social and literary pressure which he has undergone. It is not too much to say that the popular literature of the Christian world, since the discovery of America, or at least for the last two hundred years, has been anti-Negro. The Mohammedan Negro has felt nothing of the withering power of caste. There is nothing in his colour or race to debar him from the highest privileges, social or political, to which any other Muslim can attain. The slave who becomes a Mohammedan is free.' Mohammedan history abounds with examples of distinguished Negroes. [b]The eloquent Adzan or Call to Prayer, which to this day summons at the same hours millions of the human race to their devotions, was first uttered by a Negro, Bilal by name, whom Mohammed, in obedience to a dream, appointed the first Muezzin or Crier. And it has been remarked that even Alexander the Great is in Asia an unknown personage by the side of this honoured Negro.[/b] Mr. Muir notices the inflexible constancy of Bilal to the faith of Islam under the severest trials. Ibn Khallikan mentions a celebrated Negro Khalif, who reigned at Bagdad in the ninth century.He describes him as a man of great merit, and a perfect scholar. None of the sons of Khalifs spoke with greater propriety and elegance, or composed verses with greater ability..... Christian literature has nothing to show on behalf of the Negro comparable to Mohammedan literature; and there is nothing in Mohammedan literature corresponding to the Negro—or ' nigger ' as even a liberal clergyman like Mr. Haweis will call him of Christian caricaturists.

This, with strange misunderstandings, gives a large part of pre= Christian religious history. [b]Moses, e. g., was a black man![/b][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
