<quoted text>...lol, ethiopia was never colonized by anybody, matter of fact ethiopians colonized yemeni arabs around 500ad under emperor caleb and gouverneur abraha, so probably ethiopians had arab slaves...the prophet had probably an black slave from pagan africans. since the african slaves came via ethiopia to arabia, arab distorted these fact and called them "ethiopians". you can see that arabs dont really talk about ethnic ethiopians/habeshas because they call ethiopians "pug-nosed" in many hadiths, but horners have usually pin pointed thin noses...it is just arab dumbness and envy that they say ethiopians were slaves in arabia though ethiopians ruled arab ass and no arab ever ruled over the ethiopian christian kingdom.

prophet begging who??? are you kidding, he was powerful man among Quraishite & under the protection of his uncle Abu Talib the only thing he were feared is the torment against the "new muslium" convert from the oppression of arab pagans
Quraish tried to bribe him with money and power including an offer to make him king if he were to abandon his message. His uncle tried to persuade him to stop preaching but the Prophet said: "O uncle, if they were to put the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left hand to stop me from preaching Islam, I would never stop. I will keep preaching until Allah makes Islam prevail or I die
so its was a challenge for him & god promise him will succeed if he put all his faith to dissemination Islam message ,instead of that he could set comfort and leave in prosperity and get the privileges without go to trouble because he already from deeply rooted family have big position between Quraish
you solomon"nobody said a bad thing about your prophet or your religion in this thread!!why you attack the prophet Mohamed "pbuh"?

<quoted text>...dude mohammed is not my prophet, I am an orthodox christian like most ethiopians. secondly, mohammed had no power in mecca then, that is why he begged ethiopian christian king to give asylum for his family members. many of them stayed for many years in ethiopia because ethiopian christianity protected them. get the facts straight dude.
