The Worldwide Crisis of Islam > The Truth About Islam
Post 9/11, Islam flourishes among blacks...
azrom:
Islam is growing fast among African Americans, who are undeterred by increased scrutiny of Muslims in the United States since the September 11 attacks, according to imams and experts.
Converts within the black community say they are attracted to the disciplines of prayer, the emphasis within Islam on submission to God and the religion's affinity with people who are oppressed.
Some blacks are also suspicious of U.S. government warnings about the emergence of new enemies since the 2001 attacks because of memories of how the establishment demonized civil rights leaders Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.
As a result, they are willing to view Islam as a legitimate alternative to Christianity, the majority religion among U.S. blacks.
"It is one of the fastest-growing religions in America," said Lawrence Mamiya, professor of religion at Vassar College, speaking of Islam among black Americans.
He said there were up to 2 million black U.S. Muslims but acknowledged there are no precise figures.
"It's not viewed (by authorities) as a threat because the numbers are small and once we get past the war on terror and all the negative images then it will continue to spread."

Hail Columbia:
Wow, you mean that the blacks in America are not upset that the Muslims held blacks as slaves from the 9th Century AD, to the present day?
Fruit of thy loins:
Young American whites worship blacks so much that you could also say that negrophilia is the new Islam for white people. :(
Angry Panther:
Most blacks are attracted to Islam because it is a violent religion and they themselves are violent. This does not however pertain to all blacks. I consider Alan Keyes to be very righteous.
Fruit of thy loins:
If righteousness is measured by degree of assimilation into white society then I'd say most blacks are righteous. They ape all the appalling characteristics of sick Western nations in a remarkable fashion. All of that degeneracy and money-worship comes to them like instinct. This is why they are supremely successful in the youth culture.
I'd say the LACK of righteousness in white society is the main problem, but there you go.
