Why is it significant that the name "Tuareg" may have been derived from the Arabic word meaning "abandoned by Allah"? A. This illustrates the religious tension in the region and the battle for believers waging along the "Middle Belt." B. This shows what more traditional North African Arabs may think of the way the Tuareg blend Islam with traditional African religions. C. This isn't signficiant, because it ignores more important elements of Tuareg culture, such as the blue-colored clothing and the salt trade. D. North African governments use this as a means to discriminate against the Tuareg people.
