Reading the poignant work of African scholars like Chinweizu, I started to think about what a successful Pan-African movement would look like on the Continent. Would it involve Islamic countries and/orMuslims in Africa and the Diaspora? I mean, let's be real...both Muslims in the Diaspora and Africa seem to be apologists or at the very least have an affinity for Arabs...the very people who are the cause of over 1400 years of endless terror and misery. Chinweizu, a sharp-cutting Nigerian, haseven called for military action against Islamicism in Africa.

I have met African Muslims who try to include people like Libyan President, Moammar al-Ghadafi, as Africans (or brothers), as well as other sand-cracker Arabs who only look at us to further their exploits. I have a friend from The Gambia who tells of a major street named after Ghadafi, and how strict the country is under Islamic law. A female friend of mine is going there later this year, but was warned to keep thehijab onand act a certain way or it would be an "invitation to rape, and even murder". All this coming from a Muslim man, but the faithful gaze in his eye illustrated to me that he saw nothing wrong with this whileI just nodded.

Anyhow, toget back on topic...Can there be a successful Pan-African Movement that includes Muslims or Islamic countrieswhen Muslims (both Arab and African)continue to cause the most tragicdivisiveness on theContinent long-running for over 1400 years?
