In reply to the discussion: VICIOUS Christian protesters shout down Muslim kids singing National Anthem at Texas rally [View all]alfredo
(60,082 posts)52. Peter Salem, was one of several Muslims fighting for us during the Revolutionary war and
the war of 1812. Leicester, where he settled, was known for it religious and racial tolerance.
Many of the slaves brought over were Muslims.
I remember when I went to fort Jesus in Mombasa Kenya. I went to the quarters where the captured slaves were chained. On the wall Arabic script was scraped into the beams by those poor souls.
BTW, slave owners forbade slaves from practicing their native religions. They also took their names away and gave them new names, usually reflecting the owner's surname. Cassius Clay's family was owned by one of Henry Clay's relatives. Muhammed Ali was how Cassius Clay threw off the last vestiges of his slave heritage
