THEY WANT US TO FIGHT ABOUT YESTERDAY SO WE DON’T BUILD TOMORROW

This image is moving online. It says: Arabs killed your ancestors. But you are still Muslim. Why?

Let me answer as an African. Not as a Muslim. Not as a Christian. As an African.

1. YES, THE ARAB SLAVE TRADE HAPPENED
   For 1300 years. From 650 AD to 1960s. East Africa to North Africa. Millions taken. Zanzibar. Sudan. Mauritania. It was brutal. It was evil. We don’t deny it.
2. YES, THE EUROPEAN SLAVE TRADE HAPPENED
   For 400 years. Trans-Atlantic. 12 million taken. Ghana. Nigeria. Angola. Congo. It was brutal. It was evil. We don’t deny it.
3. COUNTING BODIES TO WIN AN ARGUMENT IS THE WHITE MAN’S GAME
   They want you to debate who whipped your grandfather more. The Arab or the European.
   While you debate, they own your gold. They own your oil. They own your cobalt.
   Division is their business model. Unity is their bankruptcy.
4. SO WHY ARE AFRICANS STILL MUSLIM? WHY ARE AFRICANS STILL CHRISTIAN?

Because faith and slavery are not the same.

A. Islam came to Africa in 615 AD. To Ethiopia. The Prophet Muhammad sent his followers to King Najashi of Axum for protection. Najashi was African. He protected Muslims before Arabs did. Bilal, the first Muezzin of Islam, was a Black African. Islam was in Africa before the Arab slave traders.

B. Christianity came to Africa in 42 AD. To Egypt and Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Eunuch was baptized in Acts 8 before Europe even knew the Gospel. Africa was Christian before colonialism.

C. The slave traders hijacked religion. They did not bring it. Arabs who did slave raids were criminals against Islam. Europeans who did slave raids were criminals against Christ.
You don’t blame the medicine because a thief stole the bottle.

5. THE REAL QUESTION IS NOT WHY ARE YOU MUSLIM. THE REAL QUESTION IS WHO BENEFITS WHEN WE FIGHT?

France is in Mali, Niger, Chad. Christian and Muslim Africans are dying. France is mining.
America has bases in Djibouti. Christian and Muslim Africans are poor. America is commanding.
Saudi Arabia buys land in Sudan. Christian and Muslim Africans are hungry. Saudi is farming.

They don’t ask if you are Muslim or Christian before they take your minerals.
They only ask if you are divided.

THE SOLUTION

1. Know Your History. All of it. Arab slavery. European slavery. African empires. African faith. Don’t let TikTok teach you in 15 seconds what took 1400 years.
2. Separate The Criminal From The Creed. A drug dealer with a cross is not Christianity. A slave trader with a Quran is not Islam.
3. Unite On Blood, Not Belief. The European and the Arab sat at Berlin in 1884 and divided us. They didn’t ask religion. They asked resources.
   We unite the same way. Not by mosque or church. By market, by army, by currency.

WAKE UP AFRICAN

If you are a sister or brother reading this, take action.
If you are Muslim, your enemy is not the Christian African.
If you are Christian, your enemy is not the Muslim African.
Your enemy is the politician kicking the stool while the foreigner cuts the deal.

United States of Africa starts with you. Not your children.
Let’s lay down a foundation.
Let’s not tolerate nonsense from the politicians separating us for their personal gain.
The ship is still sailing. The question is: Are we cargo fighting in the hull, or captains on the bridge?

I am African first. My faith is between me and God. My fight is between me and those robbing my continent.
