Did the Movie hint at the fact that any of the Slaves were Muslim? Because approximately 10%-20% of the Slaves taken to the Americas were in fact Muslim (including Kunta Kinte -Alex Haley's ancestor). Read this book "Servants of Allah" by Silviane Diouf. Groundbreaking and well referenced and researched book: (http://www.amazon.com/Servants-Allah-African-Enslaved-Americas/dp/0814719058/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1362035090&sr=1-1&keywords=slaves+of+allah). Although it's Wikipedia, Wikipedia says Cinque was Muslim.
