I am not trying to say that is anybody else's fault. But, there is a failure to communicate. It takes two. You seem to deliberately close your mind to anything that does not fit neatly under the category of Christianity. But, it is not about Christianity or Islam. Even so, I referred you to Black Theology. Black Theology fits perfectly well into Islam even though it is a Christian theory.
Nkrumahism enables us to think of those things that we all have in common. Thus, Christians and Muslims can find common cause. Nkrumah is recorded to have been a Christrian. But, he married a Muslimah. I think all of their children are Muslims.
Besides, Nkruamh's closest friends and collaborators were Muslims. Namely Gamal Abdel Nasser and Sekou Toure were Muslims. In the early 1990's before Comrade Kwame Ture left us, we refined Nkrumahism to Nkrumahism-Toureism. This was done in part to appeal to those Africans who are Muslims. This was necessary because at that time, Christians had come to dominate the politics of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party. And, without saying so explicitly, they developed a conspiracy against Islam. It was manifested as a criticism against the position of women in Islam. But, all of the true leadersd of Pan-Africanism were and are Muslims, not Christians. This was before I became a Muslim. But, I could clearly see at that time that we could never hope to Unify Africa by attacking Islam. So, I was at the forefront to refine Nkrumahism to Nkrumahism-Toureism. This way, it becomes clear that African Unity is about African Christians uniting with African Muslims in accordance with African traditions. Muslims ought not attack Christians. And, Christians ought not attack Muslims. The enemy is Western imnperialism. Both Muslims and Christian should unite against the enemy.

what is 'catagorical conversation'? How can what in islam be true in christianity? Even catagorically? I mean the crux of christianity is Jesus and there lies the biggest factor of disagreement.

Right. It is your fault that you wish to make Prophet Jesus (Peace and Blessings be upon him) an object of worship. Muslims will not go there with you. That is your problem. Even so, the Sermon on the Mount contains words directly from the mouth of Jesus (Peace and Blessings be upon him) that we in Islam absolutely agree with regasrdles of the category that you Christians wish to place it under. That is your problem; not ours. Also, we worship GOD. Because Christians want to trip off of our manner of worshipping GOD will not prevent Muslims from adhering to the Commands of GOD.
