Addition of misinterpreted text[edit]

I noticed that recent edits to the article like the like the one here includes text that is not mentioned in the source (which itself isn't of the highest quality). For example, while the source by Deutsche Welle does mention the presence of slave traders in East Africa, it makes no claim that they were one of the main factors involved with spreading Islam in Kenya. I previously partially undid an identical edit citing similar reasons. The second source (apparently from Oxford Islamic Studies) doesn't work so I can't verify it. If it's sourced to the article I think it was supposed to link to (Swahili Coast or the history of Islam in East Africa), that doesn't make the claim of Arab slave traders being one of the main reasons behind the introduction of Islam to the region. The editor also removed a source (which I placed) that can be considered a better source for the text. The claim that Arab slave traders were one of the main factors behind the introduction of Islam into the area is simply not supported by the sources. I will revert these recent for the reasons cited.
