Its been nearly 700 years since Mansa Musa gave away gold for islam. Meanwhile 800 years ago King John of England asked for the law of Muhammad, and he also did not join Europe's crusades against the muslims. Comparing these two: King John of England & Mansa Musa of Malian Empire and how they are precieved by their people. As for John he is precieved badly since two points: one by catholic chronicler Matthew Parris who was a disparaging rude against King John. And later by 19th century writers - an era where occultism was the fan fare of the general elite populace. Though tudor scholars praised him, as well as scholars since the 1950s. His image is made bad by certain elements (catholic) and Disney. As for Mansa Musa who came 100 years later. His effort to spend money on bringing scholars to Mali and making Timbuktu well renowned globally, set him to be chronicled by muslims in arabic, which had his name & the name Timbuktu spread to even Europe. So if we note that Johns bad mouthers were mostly non-muslim polytheists under the pope. We could assume that Mansa Musa's bad mouthers are more likely to praise the pope and paint their faces with polytheist dirt paint. The kind who hate books.

The education we received in the US told us that only Europeans had charters and representative governments, that they invested it (because they just so superior), and without following and organizing yourself in their image, you will only have absolute authoritative rule and oppression.

All I learned in Western education is that he was one of the wealthiest men ever. He went to Hajj with 80 camels carrying 300 pounds of gold each and caused inflation in all the economies he passed by if he bought anything. Other than that, they might mention some Mali expeditions and that’s all.

Try to host the Egyptian historian Dr. Ragheb Al-Sergany for his question: How do Arabs view the Ottoman Sultanate according to the sources of ancient Arabic books? Such as the story of the destruction of the Mamluk state by the Ottomans, the control over the Levant, Egypt, and the Hijaz, and the overthrow of the Abbasid Caliphate, the revolts of the various Arab tribes and their causes, why the Arabs reject the presence of the Ottomans in the Arab countries, etc. Most Muslims view the Ottoman Sultanate from an Ottoman eye, but they do not view it from an Arab eye. This helps in a comprehensive view of the issue of the Arab conflict with the Ottomans. It can be debated why the Ottomans failed to subjugate the King of Morocco, how they failed to confront the great Arab wealth, how the Ottoman attempts to destroy the third Saudi state were not successful as they destroyed the first and the second, etc.

@@Mohazz88 Many Muslims believe the story of the Ottoman Turks that they were betrayed by the Arabs, and there is no answer to the big question: Was their entry into the Arab countries acceptable in the first place, and were there many revolts against the Ottomans? Almost all Turks are affected if Arabs criticize the Ottomans, a country that ended with its collapse in the World War. The Arabs have no problem criticizing the mistakes of the Umayyad and Abbasid states, even though they were more important and closer to the Arabs than the Ottomans. Because history is not an emotional issue, but rather a mention of true stories that happened.

@@Mohazz88 There are many Arabic books about this, but they have not been translated into English. There are some fanatical Turks who say that the Arabs betrayed the Ottoman Empire But the big question is whether the Arabs really believed throughout their history that the Ottomans were a state that the Arabs wanted to follow, Did the Ottomans come to spread the message of Islam to the Arabs, or did they come like any occupying country that wanted to steal their wealth?

If the countries of West Africa unite as one country, they will quickly turn into a powerful empire that has natural wealth, oil, minerals, rivers, human power, etc. This unity will keep France from being oppressed forever as long as they establish a strong army and a strong economy.

Before continue is important to review the different ways Islam spread in Africa. No matter the good intentions, African nations and cultures has a history dated thousand of years long before Islam ever existed, and having access to the trade routes and markets controlled by the Arabs was the very first " convenient conversion" of ruling class and the merchants. The rest is history and most of it is very ugly.
