Shay at Booker Rising is getting all over Osama too! She comments (steam coming out of her ears) about African treatment at Arab hands:
"Al-Qaeda's leader is also upset about growing international isolation of the Palestinian government....as proof of a "war by crusaders and Zionists against Islam". Puhleeze, Osama. A far bigger occupation that has historically been far more brutal continues: Arab Muslim occupation of black land in Africa and their gross human rights violations towards black populations on and off over the past 1,400 years. The invasions, the slave trade, the 'Arabization' campaigns, etc. Such that the Arab world's largest city is in Africa, not the Middle East. Arab Muslims occupy vast tracts of land in Africa and have declared war on black folks - atrocities that far surpass anything Israel has done to the Palestinians - for centuries."
Smoking. I wondered when I would hear criticism from a Black American about the Arab Muslim treatment towards Africans over the centuries. I've never understood why Black Americans would turn to Islam, the religion that began a brutal African slave trade for hundreds of years before the Europeans did, and continued for another 150 years after the end of the European/American slave trade.
