Zone1 Islam demonized Black men

[Robert Urbanek]

A fun fact about the religion of peace:

In Islam, Iblis is the leader of the devils, a leading angel who was thrown out of heaven after he objected to God’s creation of Adam. In a second account, Iblis was created from fires beneath the earth.

Illustrations of Iblis in Islamic paintings often depict him black-faced, a feature which would later symbolize any satanic figure or heretic, and with a black body, to symbolize his corrupted nature.

In Islamic art, various symbols and metaphors are used to convey spiritual concepts and the struggle between good and evil. Depicting Iblis with a black face signifies his spiritual impurity and his separation from the divine light, rather than portraying a specific racial group negatively.

On the other hand, Islam does not demonize or discriminate against Black men or any race. Islam promotes equality and rejects racism, teaching that all individuals are equal in the eyes of God, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or nationality.

In other words, don't believe your lying eyes. Just because we portray the devil as a Black man doesn't mean we portray the devil as a Black man.

Justification of evil is one of the primary purposes of religion. Why should people be surprised Islam is the same as other religions?
