History tells us that blacks in Africa were captured and enslaved by Muslims who sold them to white ship owners, who in turn transported them to the new world.

Why then do some African Americans embrace Islam? The Philadelphia cop shooter being case in point.

History tells us all humans can and have committed reprehensible acts.

Why embrace humanity?

All they know is the liberal version of history where donald trump and george bush went to africa and captured the poor innocent africans. All while laughing like evil villains.

So have Democrats. Why would anyone in their right mind vote for Hillary. Bernie, or Martin?

You could say the same thing regarding African American slaves embracing the religion of their masters, Christianity. That makes just as little sense.

Religion is not logical, religion is about gut feeling and belief. I'm not invalidating either faith, just saying that it's pointless to try and rationalize religious decisions like other decisions. It's not the same. People have a right to believe whatever they want, for whatever reason they conjure up.

The same reason that some A-A embrace Christianity despite the slave owners being Christian.

They embrace Islam because Islam is a religion of violence and they want to be violent against The White Man.

The Quran's Verses of Violence

Exactly. Just listen to Louis Farrakhan and you'll know that is true.

Islam tends to fish in troubled waters. For example Indonesia went from being largely Buddhist to largely Muslim after Krakatoa or some other volcano blew, reducing their respect in the polytheistic G-ds.
