"African Americans choose this day which side you are on!"

[Bluebear]

So here is my question: if Islam is "the religion that sold Black African Americans into slavery", which 'religion' was the customer once they arrived on American shores? :think:

The Black Man and Islam

Contact: Pastor George Saieg, Arabic Christian Perspective, 714- 448 -3820 cell, 866-533-6659

ONTARIO, Calif., Feb. 24 /Christian Newswire/ -- Former Sultan Ali El-Shariff and Pastor George Saieg, founder of Arabic Christian Perspective, will be available for interviews on Saturday March 3rd, 10:00am - 12:00pm at a to-be-announced location, call 866-533-6659 for details.

The following comments are from Pastor George Saieg, founder of Arabic Christian Perspective.

A Call for African Unity:

African Americans choose this day which side you are on. Will you side with your Black Sudanese brothers who are being killed in genocide of Holocaust proportions, or will you side with those who oppress them and who sold you into slavery?

Former Sultan Ali El-Shariff has forsaken Islam and his earthly kingdom to stand in unity with his Black African brothers. Will you join with him in calling for an end of the genocide, or will you join Islam, the religion that sold Black African Americans into slavery and is selling Black Sudanese into slavery today.

A Call for Christian Unity:

The Bible tells us that those who love the Lord are one body, and when one member of the body suffers, we all suffer too. Under the intense persecution mandated by Islam many faithful Christian martyrs have chosen death and suffering than denying Jesus as their Lord. Some Christians escaped death by paying a heavy tax, others loving this world rather than the next, renounced their faith under threat of death and became Muslims, damning themselves and their offspring to a dark existence. How painful it must have been for these weak apostates, to see their children grow up to be just like their misguided enemies.

This cycle can be broken, Ali El-Shariff was a Sultan in Sudan, but like Moses he left his earthly kingdom for a heavenly one, and like Moses he seeks to lead his people to freedom. Let us stand in support of our brother in his assault against the gates of Hell. Jesus promised that these gates could not stand against His church, let us therefore go forth boldly loving not our own lives and for the sake of our brothers and sisters endure all hardship.

Religion did not sell slaves nor did it buy slaves. Both premises are bat crap!

2. and what

does it have to do with anything that is happening in today's world? I mean there are a LOT of other things to be worrying about than dredging up what happened 150 years ago

3. I think the key here is "was and is" regarding Islam

and slaves in Sudan.

4. What a jackass

I side with absolutely no religion. SOmeone should remind him of hte good christians who used the bible to justify slavery on this side of the Atlantic.
