Uncertain Information?

About the truth of COVID-19!

One is not saying it does not exist, but rather that is may be far worse than what our governments are telling us at this time?

In fact it would seem that many are in denial that their situation is worse than their neighboring country and so the misinformation is not really helping anyone to get a grip on this terrible disease!

Many in the U.S. and other countries have refused to wear a face mask, because it infringes their civil liberties, but if it was to save the peoples lives in your family it would be worth wearing one?

God wants us believers to be sensible in that we do what is right and not rebel to authority, there is a time and a place when that could be justified as it was in the second world war under Adolf Hitler and the Axis alliances or even in many closed Islamic and communist lands today!

Understanding African History? One.

Islam and Arabic Slavery!

Very few black people outside of North-Africa know that before white European slavery began, there was nearly one thousand years of Islamic slavery in the Sahel region and some of it continues to this day through the Tuareg desert tribes and the newly established Islamic State militants in Mali, southern-Algeria and Libya, apart from N-Nigeria, Chad and Burkina Faso.

The Prophet Mohammed said that before he was enlightened and afterwards he kept a few slaves to serve him and that Muslim could continue in the will of Allah (God) doing so!

From the 65th Century to the arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th Century, the Berber tribes of Morocco were the main players in slavery and many African tribal leaders got rid of enemies and problematic people in this way! But by the time of the Europeans arriving and that of the English, the Berbers were being overwhelmed by the numbers being provides so another new outlet became available?

This is not to undermine the horrors of European slavery, but just to let people know that black people are not innocent of these customs and crimes and the wealth of the Islamic world too was built on forced labor!
