It's funny that the article for George Washington doesn't say "George Washington was a <religion> blah blah blah". Why not just say "Estevanico was an African ... He was kidnapped and enslaved by the Portugese until he escaped or whatever.

- It is very unlikely that Estevanico was a moslem at the time of his entry into the americas. The spanish had just ended the reconquista in 1492 after hundreds of years of war against the moslems of granada. It seems extremely unlikely that they would have brung a practicing moslem with them in their attempt to christianize the new world. He is even named after a catholic saint. The mention of his being a moslem needs a very good quote from a very reliable source inorder to be anything other than an attempt at rewriting history.Maunus 17:42, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
