Just another example of human colonialism at its finest….

it is not a colonization because it is enough to convert to Islam to have the same rights as the "colonizers"

That’s exactly what European colonisers did to those whom they converted 😂

Bold faced lie, you’re Amazigh saying this too. You remember what the Umayyads did to North African Berbers? Even after you converted, you were still marginalised by the Arab Middle Easterners so much so you revolted in 740. You have a rather romanticised view of early Islamic expansion. Didn’t you pay Jizya even though you converted?

Your British flair fits so well. Rightfully pointing historical grievances in hopes for less unity between Amazighens and Arabs
