Answer 1

c. africa as slaves.
Historical records indicate that in the 17th century, a few Muslims were brought in from Africa as slaves. They were kidnapped from West Africa and sold into slavery in America. The African slaves were split up from their families and community members which destroyed the structure of the family in which Islam is based.
