6 0

Islam gained momentum during the 10th century in West Africa with the start of the Almoravid dynasty movement on the Senegal River and as rulers and kings embraced Islam. Islam then spread slowly in much of the continent through trade and preaching. During this period these Muslims from North and West Africa came to be known by Europeans at large as Moors and were depicted by Europeans as black, swarthy or tawny in skin color.

According to Arab oral tradition, Islam first came to Africa with Muslim refugees fleeing persecution in the Arab peninsula. This was followed by a military invasion, some seven years after the death of the prophet Mohammed in 639, under the command of the Muslim Arab General, Amr ibn al-Asi.

Hope this helps :). Please give me brainliest, thx

Explanation:

Canada and the United States share a large border, and there has been significant intermingling of cultures as a result. Because the United States is the world's center for the entertainment industry, a great deal of American pop culture has made its way north to Canada. In an effort to retain a distinct Canadian culture, the Canadian government enacted a law that 45% of all radio and television programming must be produced in Canada. To meet this goal, the government established the National Film Board (NFB), the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), and the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commissions (CRTC).
