BLACK EX-MUSLIMS! Experiences of anti-black racism within the ex-Muslim community?

Wow. So if it's religiously motivated then it's not colonialism?

They wanted to extend Islam although this picture doesn’t give a good picture of what happened historically speaking. The Caliphate wouldn’t have functioned without the active participation of the Syrian population in the wars, finances, administration, etc. This Syrian population includes Arabs because Arabs were already present for several centuries before the prophet was born in the Hejaz. Arab populations are different from Arab populations living in the Najd. Two different environment, different influences, different mentality. The “lizard eater” that Persians attack Arabs with was started by Syrian Arabs population who were mocking the Najd populations because in this time you were considered more refined if you adopted Hellenic/Roman costumes, thoughts, etc. The Umayyads was Syrian centered, remember that.

If you can't even accept that fact that Arab tribes colonized the rest of the ME then you're as dumb as I initially though.

I never implied that there weren’t tribes who immigrated. Genetics shows this. I don’t necessarily have an obsession over it like you do.

I have no need or want to be anything related to Arabs

Then this is one problem that is solved

there's nothing positive about it all lol

Still better than your shit hole called Somalia. Historically speaking and presently.

but unlike you, I can acknowledge the pre-islamic and post-islamic intermingling and cultural exchanges between Black Africans and the original Arab Tribes.

Mate, pre Islamically the only good thing you were used for is slavery. Post Islamically, you’re still seen as a slave. Even some ancient Islamic authors (Persian, Arab, etc.) describe you SSA negatively. This was a a master – servant relationship.

It is who, who has suffered from sever inferiority complex and try very hard to ignore African and Arab history.

Yes, the Arab and African history of master-servant. I still can see it to this day. You should ask your Sudanese brothers who worked in the Gulf what they think of it.

But, being "Arab" today ( which defintently does not include us Somalis), is not tied to your basic, misguided definition anymore. I already said what I had to say on this subject. Just don’t be surprised when dogs are considered by Arabs to be more trust worthy than you.
