Descendant of Muslim Chinese Converts

Posted on April 30, 2006 by Tariq Nelson

Found this story from last year about a young woman in Kenya who DNA tests have shown to be of Chinese descent. She claims to be a descendant of Chinese sailors who came to Kenya. Something that is likely. The article states:

Nearly 600 years ago, 20 Chinese sailors swam ashore an island off Kenya’s east coast, having escaped from a shipwreck. They went on to marry local women and convert to Islam

I love the way this shows that Islam is for all of humanity regardless of culture. A perfect fit for all

    Islam is for all of humanity. It is for those who believe and who know that time on this planet is limited but accounted for.
