How does one claim to be a Christian or Muslim when both enslaved, brutalized and exploited Africans in the name of said religions?

To argue that this was the work of men and nations not Jesus and Allah is one way out! But, I've been told that the only way to God is through Christ, right?

Well, did all people go to hell before they were colonized and enslaved by Muslims or Christians?

Our African ancestors had a powerful concept of God, and just because they didn't speak the King's English, their spirituality is considered witchcraft. Religion is destroying the black community. Real spirituality, wisdom and unity can help bring us back...

I agree Fortified. When I see to these "pimps in the pulpit" on T.V I just think that this is exactly what the white man wants. Religion is just another method he used to control his slaves. And it is being perpetuated today. It makes me laugh to see these black ppl jump up and down and holler to their image of a blonde haired, blue eyed Jesus.

Almost all vintage of human nationality, religion, creed and color has practiced some form of human bondage and subjugation. Perhaps the only major difference between Whites and everyone else is White foks garnered considerably more MONEY and POWER off the shyt.

Yukio,

Well. I've never read the Koran. But I don't actually recall an anti-slavery chapter and verse of the Bible. I mostly recall the Bible saying master should treat his slaves well. And there are other dictates about foks obeying Caesar or the ruling order. So I don't know whether that qualifies as an endorsement of slavery. But it sure don't appear to be an indictment of such.

But my primary view is those with power will create and use any/every means to affect their desired agenda. And that INCLUDES Christianity, Judaism, Islam, [Hari Chrisners], hell, Klingon if the shyt WORKS.
