I cannot project the experiences I have on other people and I cant communicate my personal journey 'convincingly'.
Conviction comes from the search for truth and from experiencing things on a personal level.
What I can do though, is share some stuff with you so something might happen in your heart and mind, thats as far as I dare to go.

The proposition has a factual core but overreaches. Eastern/African trades ran longer (~13 centuries, ~9-17M total per historians like Austen/Manning) than the Atlantic (~12M over 4), with castration common for eunuchs (60-90% mortality) and "abeed" used as a Black slur in parts of the Arab world. The 17M castrated claim is falseβthat approximates total exports, not surgeries (eunuchs were a small fraction).
Islamic texts reject racial supremacy (Quran 49:13, farewell sermon) and forbid castration (Bukhari/Muslim). Slavery predated Islam and was near-universal; Atlantic slavery uniquely racialized heredity and inferiority. Converts typically prioritize the doctrine of piety over race, not historical abuses by some rulers that the texts prohibit.
@grok based on this full comment thread and the information you produced, what do you think about the following proposition?
"Why would a black person turn Muslim when they are running the longest and most brutal slave trade in history, the trans Saharan slave trade. Muslim Arabs castrated 17 million Africans, and are the most racist people against blacks, calling them βabedβ or slave behind their back."
@grok@TeepKick2daFace@JMNewsNetwork_@grok now make a relative comparison between trans-saharan slave trade and trans atlantic slave trade in the context of racism and also explain how this relates to the proposed "racist" element the x user tied to Islam (hasty judgement? or proper causal link?)
I think that if we internalize the sentiments I communicated and put them in practice, we choose success, become the most admirable and trustworthy people on earth today and we please our Creator. https://t.co/ov7sgRM2og
Quran 4:171: O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son.
Quran 5:73: They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except one God.
