head over heels sentence

English to Spanish Other
Not that I fell in love with the sentence, I just had a look at it and felt like dropping dead. Been trying to analyse the grammar, still can't make any sense of it. Talks about formation of culture and religion:

[is there an] African religion? Yes, but then this is in the same way as the monotheisms so long since appropiated whose 'Africanness' is obvious: the judaism of the falasha, african or 'black' islam, prophetism, and so on.

This makes me feel like screaming 'repent yourself', but other than that I don't get **** of it. Will somebody have mercy and help me out?

A ver si esto funciona...

¿Hay tal cosa como una religión africana? Sí, pero entonces tiene la misma forma de los monoteísmos (creencia en un solo Dios) apropiada (por los africanos) hace tanto tiempo, cuya influencia africana es obvia: el judaísmo de la falasha, el Islam africano o "negro", el carácter profético, etc.

Espero que te sea útil.

Saludos desde Mar del Plata.

No es que me haya encantado...

Podrias poner: "No es que me haya enamorado..." de la frase, pero suena un poco raro enamorarse de una frase...

Suerte!

Hay una religion africana? Si, pero despues, eso es como en el caso de los monoteismos que se apropiaron desde hace muchisimo tiempo, cuyo caracter africano es obvio: el judaismo de la "falasha", el islam africano o 'negro', el profetismo, y asi sucesivamente..
