Question

Which best describes the Muslim presence in North Africa in the late seventh and early eighth centuries?

Answer 1

a. Trade connections gave Islam a presence in cities and ports where merchants went.

b. Muslim missionaries first traveled throughout North Africa, and armies followed later.

c. Islam slowly converted the peoples of North Africa without a military takeover.

d. Muslim armies carried their faith west across the top of the entire continent.

Answer 2

I think it is D but my notes say that Umayyad armies ranged across N. Africa, not Muslim armies. So, if Umayyad is not the same thing as Muslim, then I would choose B.

Answer 3

Muslim armies carried their faith west across the top of the entire continent.
