Worldtown Hearsay :: Egypt is in Africa

Submitted by thisisworldtown on April 19, 2010 – 8:35 pmNo Comment

This is just worth repeating. Via Africa is a Country.

“Egypt is in Africa, home of Al-Azhar University. Wait, there is also a place called Fez, and another one called Timbuktu.

I really do not understand why someone who can read or is interested in history of Islam in Africa would consider, that there is need for an acknowledgement about history of Islam in Africa.

When it comes to Western media coverage of Africa, it is not just Islam that is lacking, but every aspect of a society.”
