Estimates vary, but it is commonly estimated that 10% to 15% of slaves brought to what is now the United States were Muslim, and I’ve seen estimates as high as 30%... The evidence is scattered and has only recently become widely studied. Several documents written by slaves in Arabic survive....<br /><br />Slaves taken from some areas of Africa were very likely to have been Muslim, particularly from the area sometimes now called Senegambia. The most cited number of African slaves brought to what is now the United States is about 500,000. So, taking the 15% as a reasonable figure, that would mean about 75,000 Muslims brought here, almost all before 1800. That outnumbers some of the Christian groups coming before 1800—more than the Quakers, more than the Anglicans, more than the Catholics, likely more than the New England Congregationalists. That also means millions of African Americans have Muslim ancestry."...<br /> Azizi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963772326145910073noreply@blogger.com
