Islam teaches that we are all equal, God has created us free and equal. The prophet (peace be upon him) said many times no one is superior to any of his fellow men on grounds of colour, race, status, lineage or wealth. God Al-Mighty looks at our hearts and our deeds. Islam attracted the poor and the oppressed because it gave them strength and faith.These first converts became the greatest Muslims, who have been revered through the centuries like Bilal the Abbisinian slave who became the caller to the prayers and has been promised paradise by the Al-Mighty.
Better questions is; How many Africans are still enslaved by Muslims and hindus?
Yes, but it was captured and enslaved by the Muslims before it made it to Jerusalem.

Christian children were enslaved and brought up as Muslims to become Janissaries.
coz this was the era of slavery.. 60 % of the enslaved Africans were Muslims, though, they were forced to embrace the religion of their owners!
Answer 1Muslims did not have to pay taxes, other than giving zakat-alms (mentioned in the Five Pillars) while Non-Muslims did have to pay taxes. The four classes of the Muslim Empire stated that Muslim converts were second class. These advantages would have appealed to the poverty-suffering Islamic converts.Answer 2Islam teaches that all humans are equal. A white man has no claim of superiority to a black man. The criterion of Superiority is Piety. All human beings are the off-spring of ONE and the Same Almighty Allah (God). He has created them and loves them all. This equality appealed to the slaves and the poor to convert to Islam.
Islam is a religion... followers are called muslims. They are all over the world. Islam is the 2nd largest religion. It has many converts into it everytime.
The Spanish Inquisition, founded in 1478. Initially, its sole function was to sniff out 'insincere converts' from Judaism. Later this was extended to Muslims and later to anyone who defied the authority of the Church. In Spain, Jews and Muslims had been put under enormous pressure since about 1350 to convert to Christianity.
Muslim converts are not called "Abu Hamza". Muslim converts are called Muslims as is everyone else who follows Islam. The point of origin into the fold of Islam doesn't determine what one is called (like Abu Hamza), in the eyes of a Muslim, you are a fellow brother; a Muslim.Abu Hamza is an Arabic name/alias which means "the father of Hamza" establishing the fact that there is no co-relation between the name to Muslim converts.
Islam has 3 sects: Sunni, Shia & Bohris (Aga Khanis) Sunnis are true Muslims Shias are low caste converts Bohris believe in Aga khan not Allah so they are not true Muslims....they are Kaafirs
