Re: black salafi imam: arabs are the 'master race'
Not really.
?
That's completely different from conquerors forcing their language/culture onto conquered people...and then attempting to give their actions religious legitimacy through hokey "scholarship" that declares them inherently superior to all of God's other creations. A** better example would have been the near complete annihilation of the native cultures of Central & South America by the Spanish...or the French forcing their language onto the people of West Africa and the Maghreb (especially Algeria) during the colonial era...both of which were done with the full sanction of the Catholic Church**.
true thats a better example from ur perspective .....nonetheless u are still assuming that arab armies strangulated the local cultures while we know by most accounts that was not the case ...if anything the locals were in later days encouraged to keep their own religion since that generated more jizya and conversions were actually counterproductive....also in the examples u gave the conquerers were booted out by natives and in case of arabs that did not happen anywhere [except spain]
as arab was the language of the ruling class the subject nations adopted it not only to assimilate but also to "move up" in society similar to the north american example i gave ...so why is this so unacceptable ?
