10:27Now PlayingA Black ex-Muslim delivers a forceful critique of Islam’s relationship with Black people, slavery and African history. In this reaction, Rafi Harel examines his claims about Bilal, the trans-Saharan slave trade, the spread of Islam across Africa and why many Black Americans continue to embrace the religion.

The speaker also argues that Christians and Western societies have failed to defend their beliefs against competing ideologies. He discusses Islamic growth in America, religious assimilation, the Iranian regime and what he believes many Muslims are never taught about the history of their own faith.
Are his historical arguments accurate? Does Islam have a complicated and overlooked history with Black Africa? And why is the Islamic slave trade discussed far less often than the Atlantic slave trade?
Watch the full reaction and share your perspective respectfully in the comments.
