That's actaully why Nation of Islam gained a following, a rejection of the "white man's" religion (Christianity) in favor of a more Native African religion (Islam). Though it's really more of a political movement than a religious one (I get the feeling a bunch of them don't actually legitametly believe in Islam) How can Islam be a more "Native African religion" when it originated in Asia, Arabia? The Muslims swept across north and west Africa and destroyed the native "pagan" religions. Before Islam reached African Egypt there was already a Coptic Christian church in full operation there. And Christians did not gain a foothold in Egypt as a result of conquest like Mohammad and Islam. It grew there naturally during the Roman Empire long before Mohammed. Furthermore, the closest thing to a native African monotheistic church in black Africa is the Ethiopian Coptic Church which began before the 4th century AD. Coptic Christianity is surely more native to Africa than Islam. |
