I'm sure the european slave traders said the same thing..............
anyway even if what you say is true, Africans were not originally muslim if they had to convert
The Arabs weren't originally Muslim either until Muhammad brought Islam to them...what's your point?
The Africans who practice their traditional religions weren't BORN practicing it but LEARN how to practice it from those they grow up around.
So no religion is genetic.
I never said Islam was an "African" religion; I was just adressing you saying that there were no African Muslims during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.
And I also wanted to let it be known that the ONLY religion that wasforces on Africans in masswas Christianity...not Islam, Budhism, Hinduism, or anything else.

My point is that the "true" religion of Africans (which blackbeauty mistakenly said was Islam) is neither christianity or Islam, these were forced on them.

The difference between an African learning aboutAfrican religions and islam is that African religions evolved from Africans themselves,and the way they saw the world. For Africansthey're religion was not a once a week thing itsomething that affected all they're actions. So its no surprise that when Africans practiscedAfrican religions Africa waslargely peaceful
