So much knowledge in this thread.
I’m actually surprised
But what do you mean Islam
“provides you a form of liberation that European Christianity can’t”
I’m guessing you’re Ethiopian
Y’all were orthodox Christians before European Christianity was a thing.
Their pictures of Jesus and prophets are black
How does going to Islam liberate them?
Was Islam considered a “white” religion from
a East African perspective where it gave them a new non African identity? Or was it just a way to move up in society?
I’m not understanding why a Christian African would convert to Islam unless their city was conquered and forced to culturally
But I agree with you 100% Islam brought all types of identity issues to Africa which can still be seen today
I try to ask Ethiopian, Sudanese, Yemeni, etc whenever I meet them if they consider themselves black or Arab and the answers are always interesting
