Advantages of Islam
Christian charity, or misinterpretations of Christian charity ("turn the other cheek"). Used to make the oppressed docile and subservient. This was taught to African slaves as the proper response, while the white man walks all over him. Islam teaches you to fight back. That's why the black militancy movement adopted Islam as its ideology. Most muslims don't consider the Nation of Islam orthodox, but that's beside the point.
Muslims have done a better job than churches in purging drug use from black communities.
