Shaka Ahmose and the Sloppy Scholarship of the Afrocentric Jihad
(Black Arabia Strikes Back)
The gasping Afrocentric Jihad
against Islam has a new magic bullet: the claim that the Arabic divine name
"Allah" derived from Syriac, particularly Syriac Christianity. This
is supposed to somehow disauthenticate Islam's Allah. Of course, the most
current advocate of this is Shaka Ahmose.
Now, if it was true that the current Arabic "Allah" is anchored in a

The
Prophet Muhammad of Arabia was a pure Arab from the Banū
Hāshim clan of the Quraysh tribe. Not only were the original and true Arabs
black (aswad, akhḍar, udma), but
the Prophet’s particular tribe and clan were famously black. As Robert F. Spencer remarks: “It is said that the Quraysh explained

The height of imperial 'Black Power' in the ancient world was probably New Kingdom Kemet, which was very imperial. However, Kemet managed only to extend east into the Levant and south as far as the 4th-5th Cataract.
On the other hand, this is the Islamic empire at its height (in extent).

The Muslim world today, and its Islam, is characterized by profound misogyny/sexism and a rabid White Supremacy and anti-black racism. Neither characterized early Islam, however. It is a myth that Jahili (pre-Islamic) and early Islamic Arabia was racist and that Black people were ill-treated on account of their blackness.

It is popular in many Afrocentric circles, largely due to the suggestion by Dr. Yusef ben Yochannan, to claim that the Islamic deity Allah derived from the pre-Islamic female deity Allat.
