abdurratln said:Come on, African. Who keep track of the worst among us? Dahomey comes inmmediately to mind as an Empire built on the slave trade. There are others. I will check to find an example of human sacrifice in Africa. We all know that it happened. We need go no further than Haiti to see it still happening to this very day.
Try these:

Once again.
Show me that this was/is the rule rather than the exception (including the oppression of women) in Afrika.
Secondly. I reviewed the links you posted, and can not find a comment by any traditional Afrikan priest or priestess addressing the issue or defending its practice.
Abdurattin, do you personally know of any Traditional Religious practioners that engage in this?
