[QUOTE]Originally posted by S.Mohammad: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [b]S. Mohammed,have you read about a concept during the middle ages called Mawali? The concept f Mawali said that if an non-Arab converted to Islam he/she had to become a client of an Arab in order to be fully accepted. In pre-Islamic times Mawali was apart of Arabs usually slaves or captured tribes who were assimilated into Arab soceity but only a low class status. In Egypt during the Middle Ages,some bedouins tribes were brought into Egypt by the Abbasaid and Umayyad Caliphte to arabize the population.Many of these tribes still exist around Middle and Upper Egypt but only married within their own line. Very rarely does a rural Egyptian Fellahin intermarry with an Hawwwara,Asfraf,or Ja'afrah. The system is set up in favor of the hierarchy of the bedouin or the person with bedouin origins. So some tribes exist but they are not in the majority nor never replaced the overall Fellahin Egyptian population. Contrary to Arab nationalist,Arab ancestry was during the Middle Ages determined by racial purity. If you were not a pure Arab then you would never be accepted. Not only did this happen to Egyptians but Persians,Berbers[Imazigh],and other groups. You must study Sudan during the Middle Ages to understand the current situlation. It's has a long history,and is relevent to the modern occurence in these nations. [/b][/QUOTE] I'm very aware of Sudan's history, it is long storied one. But i do not understand how a country like Sudan can overexaggerate Arabism to the extreme that is now. Sudanese Arabs are very aware that they are very dark complexioned compared to their Semitic counterparts, but they don't see themselves as dark as western and southern Sudanese. Basically I'm heavily against Arabization in Africa, especially in Egypt and Sudan. these two countries have some of the longest and most clorful histories in Africa and I don't want to see crap like Arabization and pan-Arabism destroy this storied past. Nigerians in the North are very islamic as are most west Africans, but are NOT Arabized. I think thats more or less what i was alluding to, that to be an islamic country one does not have to be Arabized. Arabization declares that anything before Arab Islamic contact was inferior. Certainly Arabs have not contributed much of anything significantly to Africa, therefore this claim is baseless. there is nothing in Arabia comparable to anything in Ancient Egypt and Sudan.
