Where are your valiant warriors and priests? Where are your hunting parties and your feasts? Where is that war-like spirit? And where are those great armies that destroyed our country’s foes? Count Iran as a ruin, as a lair of lions and leopards… Look now and despair.”
These words of lament were written in what is today Iran, when the Arabs forces and turks marched on Constantinople, a capital city of Byzantium (eastern Roman empire that remained when Rome was destroyed by European barbarian tribes of the Goths and Lombards).
Constantinople was in what is today Turkey, the birth place of Christendom in 325 CE, that was to be eclipsed by the forces of Islamism and Mohammedanism, beginning from 674 CE… and the famous church in that city, the Haggia Sophia, is today a mosque.
Around 630 CE, a band of Arabs revolutionists, marched on the city of kai’ba in the north of the Arabian peninsula where Hebrew-speaking groups that were exiled from Medina escaped to. The whole city was sacked by the Arab band and a great slaughter ensued. The leader of the band had a fire set on the chest of the treasurer of the city whose name was Kinana, in attempts to force the treasurer to reveal the hiding place of the wealth of the city. The treasurer refused to do so and he was put to death.
The treasurer’s wife, Safiya bn Tuyar was taken as ‘spoils of war’ by the leader of the band and he gratified his lust, right during the massacre, by taking her into a tent. The leader of the band was known as Muhammad ibn Abdullah Adul’Mutallib, son to planter in Petra, who became the founder of the sociological ideology that was to become Islam in the 8th century CE
Muhammad ibn Abdullah Adul’Mutallib was born in 570 CE and died in 632 CE. At the time of his death, he had gone into a village with his followers, and just as he had done to Kai’ba, he and his men killed all the men in the village, leaving only a few women alive. One of the women, whom he had killed all her family, he made his ‘sex slave’, as ‘spoils of war,’ as he had taught among his followers.
This was to be written in the 8th century CE, over a hundred years after the death of Muhammad: in arguing the content of the written Quran, “Sa’id bin Thabit said, ‘a verse from the surat Ahzab was missed when we copied the new Quran.
And I used to hear allah’s apostle reciting it.’”(Bukhari 56:23). This argument was later reiterate in Quran 4:3 and 33:50, for followers of Muhammad to marry up to four wives… ‘the captives of thy right hand, seized in war.’
For the right to war and plunder as he had done in many places in the Arabian peninsula, it was written in Quran 9:14,15 (and other places in the Quran too), ‘fight them and Allah will punish [him] by your hands.’ Hence it was justified to murder and maim those that would not follow after the teachings of Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Adul’Mutallib.
But it most be noted too that, the contents of the Quran, the revered book of the followers of Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Adul’Mutallib, was not written by himself: it was copied after his death at different times from 654 CE. Muhammad ibn Abdullah himself could not read or write; he had been a caravan trader before beginning the Islamic sociological ideology in 622 CE.
But he had, learned, right-hand men, Bilal and Zeb bn Haren from Aethiopia, where he had escaped to, through Medina, in 622 CE, when the entire people of a city of Arabia, rose to kill him for the strange and destructive politico-sociological ideology that he brought among them, that was to later became a religion, known today as Islam.
Muhammad had asked the woman whom he had sleep the night in her house to prepare ram meat for him. The woman poisoned him and he died. His dead body was left by his enraged followers (who refused to accept his leadership after that) in the streets until pigs began to eat up his corpse.
Some of his followers who were not present at the time of his death, believed his leadership even after hearing the end of their leader. They banned the eating of pork by his followers, just as ancient people of Kemet along the Nile, had millennia ago, banned the eating of Catfish (which is still the case today), after catfish ate up parts of the dead-body of Osiris.
Even the Africans who follow these belief trends today, have not inquiringly searched into the roots of what they were born into believing: they just believe and act as indoctrinated by those who are themselves ‘following the followers.’
Just like many of such ancient legends, like Chrishna of India (1200BC), Yeshua(33CE), Thummuz of Syria(1160BC), Thulis of Egypt who was reputed to have been crucified as saviour of the world (1700 BC), Attis of Phrygia (1170BC) and other crucified saviours of the world(which were 16 in total, who were reputed to have been crucified, died and resurrected as saviours of the world before the coming of Yeshua from the plains of Galilee in 30-33CE, and Muhammad ibn Abdullah Adul’Mutallib in 622 CE), the grave of Muhammad was never to be established.
This was the foundation of the ‘religion of peace'(a term coined out in the 19th century CE) that became a part of north Africa and spread to the Soudan(west Africa) and to the east of Africa, up to Zanzibar with bloodshed and slavery. For example, Tippu Tib, born of an Omani father and an African mother, an islamist zealot… once buried 40 enslaved men alive in the foundation of his house in order to “straighten the foundation of the building.”
The house was still standing up to 1996 CE, in Zanzibar, and at about this time, it was occupied by Tippu Tib’s greater, great, great, grand daughter, Ummi. The post where slaves were tested through whipping, and killed when they proved to be too weak and a price could not be gotten for them by the slave traders, is now the altar of the Anglican cathedral of Zanzibar. The priest of the cathedral said it was meant to “atone for the bloodshed on this spot.”
UNESCO, in 1987, made attempts to put the issues and Historical facts concerning Islam and the east Indian Arabs slave trade to rest, 50 Arab scholars were invited to clear the air on this topic, before other world acclaimed scholars like Dr Ivan Van Sertima and others… None of them showed up. And none had ever showed up in subsequent attempts.
According to Dr John Henrik Clarke, the “missionaries were the handmaiden of European colonialism” and that “Islam was the child of Arab imperialism.” Africa should just wake up and just get into the library. That’s a starting point for true liberation and ‘self’ realization.
Researcher, Kenneth Humphrey wrote, ‘if one follows… all religions that are based on enthusiasm, based on nothing but your own fanaticism, then you are in danger of all kinds of mayhem.” And this had been the story of Africans, regarding all the Abrahamic religions.
The age of believing is gone, it was an age in the past, based on mankind’s search for the creator of all things… and so many absurd theories came into existence, even before there was Judaism, Samaritanism, Christendom or islamism… But this is an age of knowing.
Let Africans believe what they like, but it most remain what it is: just a belief, even if it’s not based in knowledge and facts of history… but to do so with the understanding of what history, archeological research and anthropology has proven. But let it be known as such. For reality is the bases of the modern world.
Africa refuses to embrace these realities; in Europe “things have moved on”(Humphreys). Let not these beliefs become an excuse to go blindfolded through life and forget the facts of history. As American preacher, Thomas D. Jakes put it, “we can eat the meat and throw away the bones.” The facts of this is known by the highest hierarchies of all the Abrahamic belief systems.
It is the African, down the rungs, that can’t not see it so; they are born into it and have no opportunity to weigh or look into the facts, or have not taken the time to look at the origin and history of their belief system through critical lenses, because by so doing, they might be considered as blasphemous. And these ones are often the tool of manipulation.
