Islam, Arabs And Black Perception Till Date by IkpuMmadu: 6:24pm On Nov 30, 2017
ARAB HATRED FOR BLACKS
I passed through Libya twice on the way to and from England to Nigeria. I have never liked the place. We had a few hours stopover there and they kept us in one useless waiting hall with locked doors. I asked one of the officials what if there was a fire?

Passing through their immigration, they will use one 200-years-looking magnifying glass to check your passport. It was humiliating. I vowed never to touch their soil again.

Libyans are very mean to blacks. They’ve always been, and it’s kind of worse since the American involvement in their country, sometimes, I think it’s a payback for Obama.

It’s not just Libya, there are five other Arab countries. In Morocco, and North Africa, there is a serious problem of racism towards Black people. Called ‘Black Africans,’ they are considered descendants of slaves and labeled ‘hartani’—literally, ‘second-rate free men’—or even worse, ‘aâzi’—which translates to ‘bloody Negro. They even have one Hadith to back up the right to enslave blacks.

In the northwestern Mauritania, Arab Muslims—called the Bidanes, still hold Haratine (enslaved Africans) as property. An estimated 90,000 Mauritanians remain essentially enslaved.

Tunisia, like its other Arabic neighbors in North Africa, has a significant Black population as well as migrant workers from sub-Saharan Africa. In 2004, Tunisian journalist Affet Mosbah wrote for Jeune Afrique, describing the difficulties of being Black and Tunisian. She talked of the widespread custom of calling Black Arabs “oussif” or “abid,” Arabic terms that refer back to Black slaves common in the Middle East until the beginning of the 20th century. Mosbah explained that this custom is so embedded in the culture that Tunisians call their Black friends by these offensive names, insensitive to how offensive they are.

The problem is bigger than immigration. It is a sense of entitlement Arabs have as propagated by an Arab historian, whose hadith collections were determined to be very weak, Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad ibn Jarīr al-Ṭabarī (generally called Tabari, born c. 839, Āmol, Ṭabaristān [Iran]—died 923, Baghdad.

Tabari was a pure racist and this is so evident in many of his work. In Tabari IX 69, he wrote “Arabs are the most noble people in lineage, the most prominent, and the best in deeds. We were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet. We are Allah’s helpers and the viziers of His Messenger. We fight people until they believe in Allah. He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in Allah?s Cause. Killing him is a small matter to us.”

In Al-Tabari, Vol. 2, p. 11, p. 11, he wrote “Shem, the son of Noah was the father of the Arabs, the Persians, and the Greeks; Ham was the father of the Black Africans; and Japheth was the father of the Turks and of Gog and Magog who were cousins of the Turks. Noah prayed that the prophets and apostles would be descended from Shem and kings would be from Japheth. He prayed that the African’s color would change so that their descendants would be slaves to the Arabs and Turks.”

The point is, Arab hatred for blacks goes beyond American and Obama’s involvement in Libya. It is a belief among some of them. It is now up to blacks to emancipate themselves NOW.

Who has ever seen an African “Black” cleric in Mecca or the middle-East as you would see in Rome? Africans following that evil cult are beyond redemption.
