What tipped this over the edge, was when Infinite was saying that Arabs and Africans lived in peace and harmony, and developed a 'beautiful' relationship. And when white people colonised, all they achieved was famine and disease.
I'm not saying white people didnt fuck shit up, but he better not spread bullshit saying arabs are so innocent and peaceful. What infinite chose to ignore, in his post, was histories second biggest genocide.

where did infinite say that? wasn't there a recent thread about the arab slave trade in north east africa? the reason egypt is predominantly arab now, or an arab african blend, (especially norther egypt) is that it was conquered, enslaved...etc.
a) you miss the point of that infinite was saying. he was critiquing self-destructive cultures and values, and pointing out how those values were contradictory to the teachings of islam. noone has ever denied that point; people have only pointed out (best illustrated by rod) that even within the muslim world there isn't necessarily this strict adherence to the principles of islam. even in this light infinite's argument still maintains it's potency; and could easily be applied to those within the muslim world whose actions are contradictory to the teachings of islam as well.
b) you continue to use arab and muslim interchangeably, when most muslims are not arabs. much of africa is muslim, africans are not arabs. south asia, including pakistan, maylasia, afghanistan, indonesia...they also are not arabs. even in the middle east iran is mostly persian and less than 5% arab. your insistence on using arab and muslim interchangeably only demonstrates an unfamiliarity with the breadth of the muslim world.

nibs about egypt. the muslim invasion was welcomed as it allawed the coptic church to function, the byzantine empire were at the time imposing cathiolicism.and country became arabic only by about 1000 .300 years after that

You do realize 50 Cent's name has its roots in the kabalah system used by the Five-Percent Nation of Islam?
