@EsotericDesi: You have absolutely NO idea how long Islam has been a part of life for people in West Africa; for almost 1000 years. Other Muslims worldwide are and have always been well aware of this. If you even knew of the history of Islam, some of the first Muslims and highest respected Companions of the Prophet (SAW) were black Africans, eg Hadrat Zaid, Bilal (RA)...

An Arab holds NO superiority over a non-Arab, neither a white man holds NO superiority over a black man, and vice-versa, as the Holy Prophet (SAW) himself has said. It is normally the folly for non-Muslims like yourself to be ignorant enough to assume the racist views from your own particular culture or society also applies to tenets of Islam and its followers.
