[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] No disrespect against Muslims but it appears that some Muslim historians or African-American muslims are Muslim-washing Diasporian history. Most of the enslaved populations were not Muslims. Most praticed their original African sprituality later synchrinized in with Christianity. No doubt some Muslims came to the new world but their pressence has been greatly exagerated. One of the few accounts of African Muslims in the new world come from Bahia in Brazil. Hausa slaves known as Male' revolted. These Muslims formed their own schools and even banking systems. Trying to ascribe everything to Muslims in the Diaspora robs indigenous Africans of their traditions and cultural influence in the diaspora. The article tries to make clearly Akan derived names such as Cuffe or kudijo into Arabic names. Clearly not even a language expert could see this is in error. Kind of reminds me of the claim that Cherokee Indians were Muslims and that Tallahasse means ''house of Allah'' in one article I read. [/QB][/QUOTE]
