Skewed Cape Muslim History

 While The Cape Muslim history, depicted mostly by non-Muslim-white-resources and funding, to fit the old colonial and later Apartheid narrative as a "colourful community of Bo-kaap of slave origin", the hidden agendas become clearer when one carefully looks at the academic and tourist language used to paint this picture. The real agendas become clear when books and films like District Six, Dickie vannie Bo-Kaap, Tracker and Barakat, that negatively depict Muslims as a skollie/ruffian-like community wrapped in a negative depiction of Islam, become "famous" internationally. It is this kind of evidence that makes sincere people, Muslims and Non-muslims, call for a careful, truthful study of Real Cape Muslim history, not that written by oppressors to create a narrative that aims at market profits at the expense of the beauty of the Muslim people of Cape Town and the Untainted, strong Islamic Heritage, which caused many to embrace Islam up until today. It could be the rate of conversions to Islam that is becoming so threatening, that every effort has been made to discredit Islam and The Muslims of the Cape, directly through some tour guides and subtly through "research papers" and the entertainment media.
