(en) Turkey, DAF, Meydan #24 - "Islamisation of Africa"
- Didem Sea Erbakan (tr) [machine translation]
The colonization of Africa, geography, of history as a slave warehouse, one for
capitalists "raw material" which is seen as a source mention of; Europe rightly always
comes to our minds. Although the continent's colonization and plundering in the leading
role in Christian Europe kaptırmas anyone, region in the 7th century Muslim who should not
forget the role of the Ottoman Arabs and later. Especially when Boko Haram and al of
organizations like Shabaab at a time when expand their sphere of dominance and New
Ottomanist trying to play here again with the perspective of TC Empire and plans they make
on the continent of capitalist debate, it becomes essential to understand the Islamisation
of the process of Africa! All these data, whether Christians, whether they are Muslims, in
fact the only "belief" more power and more of what they want to do with money will allow
us to better understand all the colonists.
Spread of Islam in Africa
Islam as the first African, carried by migrants are forced to flee and discriminated for
being Muslims in the Arabian Peninsula. But the entrance to the continent of the Islamic
state, 600, takes place towards the middle of the year. Arabs out with a large army to
spread Islam General Amr ibn al-Asi, occupied many places under the control of the
Byzantine especially their impact on Egypt's breaking of the Christians. Meanwhile that is
happening to the people living in the area; people who survived the Byzantine Christian
colonialism and, this time faced with the Muslim Arab invasions. 8, 9 and 10th centuries
the Arabs, is extending its dominion to the East Africa; Colonies, Somalia, Kenya and they
add to the Red Sea coast. Further weakening the Arab domination on the continent in the
next period, the effective strength of the scene leaves the Ottoman Empire period.
Need to open a parenthesis here about the spread of Islam. As we said earlier, Muslim
Arabs, as well as Christian Europeans are girişmes the massacre; Islam, the people are
forced to take an indirect way, the exploitation of the region's financial resources and
an intense "slave trade" there are traffic events, such as the creation. (It is seen that
the Arabs 9. In the 19th century until the slave trade century is quite active.) During
this period, major trade routes through traffic operating Arabs, the elders of the region
where they go this way, the tribal chiefs and they allow for the Islamisation of the rich
to müslümanlaştırarak poor citizens. According to the period of the source, then the
Europeans to kimliksizleştir policy modernization name under which entry are found here.
Moreover, today we look at the continent of both Muslims and Christians, "modernization"
how it works; We can see that religious and ethnic war produced.
It turns out the stage and Ottoman
After entering the control of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East, the Arab region has
weakened the Arab control in East Africa. Ottoman Empire in the early 16th century,
starting from the north of Africa along the southern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, are
advanced to the Atlantic Ocean. On the other hand, moving along the western coast of the
Red Sea, they reached the shores of the Indian Ocean. The Ottoman "slave trade" While it
continued the tradition, heavy taxation imposed everywhere enters the empire, soldiers
demand and recruiting policy, where he continued. In almost the same period as the input
Ottoman continent, Europeans turned their faces here. In the 15th century, while the Dutch
coast of South Africa, the Portuguese settled in Angola and Mozambique coast. The British
settled in the Gulf of Guinea coast. In the meantime, the French, Africa in the 16th
century out of Senegal, they were able to enter the West African coast. During the next
period, gradually weakening the sovereignty of the area was started between the Ottoman
and European colonial struggle. Some sources also say that it is a war with colonial
Europeans to protect the Ottoman Empire in Africa, was the confrontation between the two
giants in the truest sense of the word and, as always, elephants tepişirk the grass was
crushed. Poor Africans, waiting for more new and long colonial period.
Removing the TC Africa
TC Empire recently organized visits to Africa, the congregation made a fight of schools in
Africa, is reminiscent of raids in the past here. Especially trying to enter the reference
to the region where Islam is widely TC, "Europe sees the only African mines; here we see
through the eyes of the heart. "he says. But t.c'n during each visit to Africa, among
contractors, businessmen and manufacturers of lead; their heart's eyes also shows that
only power and money to see. At every opportunity, "the tolerance policy in the Ottoman
Empire in Africa" to send that Erdogan, they want to build there, spinning mills, mines,
they follow the trail of the Ottoman colonial construction of the dam clearly declares. In
fact, the new government of the Republic of Turkey, exploiting new method followed in the
footsteps of the ancestors!
Destroyed by the African geography of different dominant power for centuries, sometimes
Christianity, Islam reference to their identity by taking some time; African peoples way
of life, detached from their beliefs and culture "to modernize" Trying! So the slaves of
capitalism and the "raw material" tank continues to be transformed. These attacks are
often faced with the great resistance of the people, today is continuing with new methods
both with classical methods. Today, ethnic and religious clashes in Africa, the
introduction of the mass murder of Muslims Boko Haram and other similar organizations or
attempted to those goods, estimated that also emerges as one of these new tactics. But we
know that, in this region "is produced by violence," the father of Muslims or Christians
not share the same fate in the oppression size, Islam and Christianity are attacking
master just like in the past with reference!
