Moses, 

If you stated "Slavery, Theology and Anti-Blackness in the West Asian World, "you would be  more accurate. Afterall, where did the anti-Black Dutch Reformed Church of South Africa  get  its inspiration from? The Quran?

 Black devils, White saints  and so on, in popular Christian imagination should be noted as well. Steve Biko warned that it was a White God "doing the talking all along" and speaking to attentive devotees, including our dear moderator. https://www2.ccsu.edu/africaupdate/?article=501

Steve Biko

Biko Agozino, his namesake 

does not want to be part of hell's bonfire,-  but  apologies to  Biko and Cornelius the Wise, this she- devil believes that hell is a very, very 🥶 cold place.

By the way, remember  that the first Muezzin in Islam was a Black man and that in 614, CE, the  Prophet Mohammad sent about one hundred of his close relatives for safety to Ethiopia, during the reign of Emperor Armah,-   and that the fourth most holy shrine in Islam is located in Ethiopia.

But I would add to your narrative the

Arab refusal to acknowledge the largely Black identity of the ancient Egyptians (Minus the era of Hyksos, Greek and Roman occupation), essentially  for racist reasons, too. 

On the whole, though, fundamentalist Afrocentrists would have no problem with your piece.

Here's a link to my review essay titled, "Slavery, Theology, and Anti-Blackness in the Arab World," just published in RESEARCH AFRICA REVIEW. The essay started life as a lecture I gave at Duke University's symposium on Anti-Blackness in the Arab World. Thereafter, due to popular demand, the editors of the review publication, who are also editors of Duke's popular "Research Africa" scholarly listserv, appealed to me to develop the lecture so they could publish it in the review journal.
