Did Chancellor Williams not suppose that it was the (black) Arabs who destroyed African civlization, when this is absolutely not true?

I believe he may have had a personal axe to grind against Islam. 1) According to Cheik Anta Diop, “no Arab army ever crossed the Sahara in an attempt to conquer Africa, except for the Moroccan war of the sixteenth century. During the period of our study, from the third to the seventeenth centuries, not one conquest was ever launched by way of the Nile: That of the Sudan (modern country), accompanied with the help of England, came only in the nineteenth century. Nor was there ever an Arab conquest of? Mozambique or any other East African country.” See Cheik Anta Diop, Pre-colonial Black Africa, page 101 2) “The Arab conquests (in black Africa) dear to sociologists are necessary to their theories but did not exist in reality. To this day no reliable historical documents substantiate such theories.” See Cheik Anta Diop, Pre-colonial Black Africa, page 102
