Muslim Documentary completely forgets Somalis ACCEPTED Islam first in Africa

[IftiinOfLife]

Time stamped here, Somalis need to be more vocal about our Islamic history and our contributions to Africa., he also lied and said the Omanis controlled Somalia, he says this around 12:47, he also blames the slave trade on AFRICAN people , and says Africans were slaves to arabs before Islam was invented

If that was true majority of Habesha would be Muslim by now.

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

Habeshas are deeply proud of their Orthodox Christianity, hence why they remained the majority. However, a minority of Habeshas converted when they came into contact with the Sahaba in the Axumite Empire.

The northern costal Habeshas in Eritrea have been Muslims since 626, the Habeshas inland did not convert untill the conquest of Abyssinia by Ahmed Al Ghazi. The Muslim Habeshas were assimilated by Oromos
