[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Abu Isa: [qb] Original_womb/man. If your post was directed towards me, I am not doubting the middle east being the true origin of black man or woman. My problem was Wesley Muhammad sayin Islam's origins being linked with Africa. The whole concept of Islam being attributed with Africa is false. If Wesley wants to say black people were the earliest members of the Muslim faith that's one thing, but to call them African is wrong. To say these people were black so they're African is wrong also. There are black people all over the world, Phillipines, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, Australia. These people cannot be called African just because they're black when they speak no African dialect, have no African culture and lived in no African lands. If you tell a black Indian he's African he'll most likely disagree and say he's whatever his people call themselves. This is the point I'm trying to make. So if Wesley Muhammad wants to call the early Muslims black skinned or dark skinned,that's one thing, but don't say African because that's not the case. [/qb][/QUOTE]Between 6th millenium B.C. and 11,000 years ago African populations began to move into the Nile and Arabia from regions of the Sahara and southward. They brought in the Afro-Asiatic language group that developed into something called "semitic". Thus, many people who still speak the ancient Sabaean in Arabia dialects still claim African origin. The same thing with the purer Dravidian peoples. Thus, Wesley is not too off the mark in calling these ancient people African. Even in Muhammed's time many of the Arabs still retained east African cultural traits, including circumcision, matrifocal customs, totemism, plaiting their hair, wearing cowry shells, and scarring their faces, as well as many other rituals and customs that were not found in other cultures. Many of the pre-Islamic Arabian deities of the Sabaean pantheon were actually east African in origin. The names of the tribes were in fact the same. The tomb types and rock art were the same. Arabia was in fact the "Ethiopia" of many Greek writings. Regardless of where these people originally came from or what we call them, the important thing is they were one and the same and the earliest philosophies of the people of the book originated with them.
