[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] In my past reading experience the Outliers of the southern USA, the Maroons of the Caribbean, and the Palenques and Quilombos of South America, were not in the least Muslim societies. Excepting the Outliers the other resistance states founded by self-emancipated slaves prominently featured characteristics of traditional African ethnies. For instance Brazilian Quilombos displayed Angolan cultures, their spirituality would reflect Condomble. Jamaican Maroons had strong Koromantee cultural elements, their spirituality was Obeah not Islam. The dominant spirituality outside the USA was that related to a [i]Vodoun[/i] type strongly resembling the traditional Yoruba model in practice and pantheon. In Luso-Hispanic territories African spirituality was hidden within and/or meshed with Catholicism. In a place like Jamaica the Protestant Christianity of the Africans loosely incorporated a very few traditional elements best noted in "Pentacostal" expression where roots, shout, and getting the spirit were as close as they could get to the old rites like spirit possession, etc. [/QB][/QUOTE]
