      Islam is also Abrahamic.

      Edit: the op comment is edited, so it might have used another word. Sorry if that’s the case

        Yeah dude didn’t like being completely wrong, so he edited out Evangelical with Abrahamic to be just kind of wrong in detail if not spirit.

        Calling Islam the tool of oppressors is a bit… Suspect, given the guy clearly wanted an anti-colonialist talking point, but it’s not like any given Abrahamic religion isn’t practically tailor made for oppressive governments in general.

            And it was a major misspelling of ‘citizens’, not a change in terminology. I’m guessing he checked my post history and saw “evangelical” in another post.

          I didnt make that edit; I edited a misspelling of ‘citizens’. I know Nigeria is mixed Abrhamics. However, I have had many conversations online with evangelical Nigerians and WOW they are WILDLY delusional, even moreso than the most uneducated American hillbilly Christians.

      I don’t think you know the region. The Sahel is primarily Muslim, the coastal regions were infiltrated by European Bible thumpers in the 19th century. These missionaries pushed their religious delusions onto the populace while capitalists (cut deals that they often reneged on) to rob the environment dry.
