Not all of African descent do those things.

Maybe not, but most of them are democrats. Islam is the fastest growing "religion" in the prison population, because "crime is ...OK"

Look at the vast majority of environmentalists and non-Muslim anti-war activists: they are predominantly of European descent. Are these people representative of all Americans of European descent?

No, they are representative of European philosophy.

So, are Americans of African descent who are Democrats or have become Muslims representative of all Americans of African descent?

Who said they were? But in the case of the democrats, yes, pretty much they are. There are some exceptions in a current minor trend towards conservativism.

In the case of islam, it's significant enough to be a problem if they go active.

The media absolutely loves stories like this; it's one of their favorite media templates. But is there one MSM outlet anywhere that has covered the large amount of conversions from Islam to Christianity in Africa?

I could see where she took it that way. Just the way you wrote it, I think.

Islam has been a part of this country from its beginning,

That statement also caught my eye

I'm sure Islamic people has always immigrated here in very small numbers since our founding, but being "part" of the county would imply more than .001 (if that) % of the population post 1776.

That statement probably falls under the same category as the black Egyptians knew how to fly, but the white man stole the idea

That is what is called a: a myth

(incidentally, today is supposed to be the two hundredth anniversary of the British abolishing the slave trade in the British Empire).

Celebrate by seeing the movie AMAZING GRACE. It's fabulous and about this very thing.

Fear not the enemy at the gates.

Fear the enemy within.

These conversion are part and parcel of the enemy within, and it will get worse before it gets better, unless our current immigration laws and policies are changed to our Founding Fathers' intent.

I doubt if most people really know what they are getting into when they seek out Islam.




If they decide they don't like it they can just quit. Right? /S

It really is pathetic and sad that many in the black communities throughout the USA feel, think that the white man, America, its heritage is so alien to their 'experiences' that they would want to join a religion , a ethos, even a radical departure from Western Civ. The OJ trial set the two communities, black and white apart on guilt. I can still remember that %. In spite of so many great contributions and accomplishments in the USA, that so many blacks would want to depart from their nation(though they would say they are not)is actually frightening. The Black Muslim movement of yesteryear is not exactly a peaceful organization and joining mullahs and imans in some mosques in cities like Pitts., Detroit, and Phila. which have been known for their radicalism, does not portend good things for blacks in general.

"How any self respecting black could associate with the religion of the slave traders who were front and center in the slave trade, and are taking slaves today is a mystery to me."

I suppose many American blacks have bought into the idea that contemporary Islam is empowering. They have been long fed a steady diatribe that "Chuck" has been keeping them down by the likes of Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. It's no wonder to me.

Given the role Muslims played in the slave trade, this always puzzles me.

Their racist hatred of white people overwhelms their rationality.

people with no identity usually gravitate to those they perceive as having ALL THE POWER. Think about it.

"The expanded Homewood mosque will have... a re-entry program for released inmates...."

This tells you a lot about the kinds of folks who are converting.

as religious leaders try to paint positive image

How about the "image" of Islam, the creator of the entire African slave trade?

Pittsburgh's tight-knit Muslim community has raised much of the $1.5 million needed in the project's first phase through book sales, telephone fundraisers, auctions and banquets.

Reporters as so damn gullible. It was paid for with Saudi money.

Considering that Christianity is going through a major boom time for adding on new members in Africa.

This headline seems misleading, what do black converting have to do with 9/11?
