i hope you are not missing his point of argument. Islam and Christianity were
forced down our throat against our will. The later invaders like Krishna, Grail
Movement, Guru Marahajiism, e.t.c. mainly used conviction and money as their 
main tools. we are not talking about them. Islam and Christianity are the main
culprits. so, limit your defense to these rapists.

Islam can not be said to be natural to them. A christian cannot also say that.
You know the victimization and deprivation which follow if someone decides to
be on the fence. most are either christians or moslems just because they want to
"belong"; because of the age long saying that " if you can't beat them, join 
them"; because they have no choice. there are more than enough evidence to subs-
tantiate this claim. of course, i know you are well aware of these things unless
you are not an African.

no one has said it on this network that everything foreign is bad. that's is not
the issue here. they give us aid because they are not in peace with their
hearts. their conscience is now pricking them for all the atrocities they commi-
tted in Africa. it's not that they love us. no way! no non-African loves an 
African for nothing. look at the Arabs; look at the Europeans; look at the Jews;
look at them all! those of you who think they love us are living in illusion.

my friend, we are talking about Africa. check how they were spread in those
countries and how they were spread in Africa, if at all you want to make a
comparison.

thank you.
