Default Can an African Muslem/Christian/Jew profess to being Afro-centric? - 26-03-08, 01:33 AM

Was going to post this in the other thread questioning the African athiest but this is the second time I've had to typr this only to loose it to this shabby version of windows mobile.

Anyway, understanding that the three main religions are centered around an out of Africa story, the myth of Moses and the mistreatment of the Israelists (diffrent in the koran) under an evil African leader, a story that hasn't been verified in any other accounts of ancient history and contradicts itself by ''borrowing'' from North African texts and ideas whilst continuing to preach an out of Africa theology. Can the followers of these religions then consern themselves with African prosperity? Understanding that there are beliefs that are just that, beliefs but the three main ie; most popular religions have over time become institutions of their own, the spread of christianity brings the church with it, brings the west with it... the spread of Islam brings the Arabs and their institutions and culture with it and so on.

It is also telling that these people upon studying religion indepth and entering debate about their origins seem to have a problem agreeing that they come from an eariler African scripts and teachings, can they then call themselves African centered in thought or is it a contradiction?


“There is no harder misfortune in all human history than when the powerful of the earth are not also the first men. Then everything becomes false and awry and monstrous. And when they are even the last men and more beast than man, then the value of rabble rises higher and higher and at last the rabble-virtue says: Behold, I alone am virtue.”- S.A.Israel
