In 1842CE, the British Consul General in Morocco wrote a letter to the Sultan to ask him if he had taken any measures to stop slavery or at least, slave trade. The sultan replied that he will not do anything about it because it has been the norm since the time of the sons of Adam and no sects of Islam are against it. Hence, he will not permit anything the Qur'an forbids and will not make unlawful anything that the Qur'an has allowed. In the Sultan's reply, we see the simplest justification or at least, excuse, for almost 1300 years of slavery in the Islamic world.

Bro, the trans-sahara slave trade was even bigger and lasted longer than the trans-atlantic slave trade.

The western world kept documented accounts of their activities, but the Arab world did not.

I heard Arabs were more gruesome.
They castrate every male slaves. Rape the females.
Funny thing is that their religion was never against it.

As much as the black man wants to latch on the white man for partaking in slave trade...




The Arab world did menace worst ...


Don't open that chapter... Islam, arab were pioneers before the white came into it

The Arabian slave trade started earlier and lasted later than the European slave trade. It was more brutal. In fact the European themselves were victims of Arabian enslavement. It was the enslavement that later lead to the creation of the crusaders.
More blacks died as a result of their enslavement in the hands of the Arabs than were ever enslaved by the European. And unlike the Arabs who could justified their slave trade with islam, the European couldn't justified their slave trade with Christianity which was the reason it ended earlier. In fact, the first man to be executed for treason in the US was a White Christian man called John Brown. He was executed for leading a rebellion against slavery.

The founder of Islam himself killed, bought, traded, and raped black people. They killed black people so much that when the European came to sub-sahara africa they said the total black population couldn't have been more than 30 Million. They raped black people so much which is the reason black people living close to the middle east today look arab. They labelled black women as symbol of diseases, and said the devil looked like a black man.

What baffle me is that today we have a large population of black people joyfully salivating at the thought of the man whose action and dangerous ideology lead almost to the extinction of the black race. They even call him "the best example of mankind." They are even ready to kill and maim their fellow black on behalf of said man-- for example: Deborah Samuel. Compare that to Jesus who neither kill nor rape people; neither buy nor trade people.

Watch the video below if you want a little glimpse into the enslavement of blacks by the Arabs. The video doesn't capture all the atrocity the islamic arabs committed-- not even a fraction. In the video, you will see how black women are forced to walk around naked. You'll see black children that clearly looked half-Arab-- those are products of rape. You will see how black people are stripped naked and sold off like we are animals.
More importantly, you will see white Christians-- YES WHITE CHRISTIANS!!-- going into Arabia to pressure their monarch to disband slavery. Remember that next time they want you to hate all white people.

Here is the video.
If you are using YouTube app instead, then search for: Slave Market In Arabia (1964)
It was taken in 1964. Fours years after Nigeria got its independence. Four years after the civil right movement in USA had taken off. Yet, the black were still being sold in Arabia. Keep in mind that Islamic arabian's slavery came much earlier than the whites', yet it "ended" later. I put ended in quote because the enslavement of black didn't end even until the eighties, they simple went underground. Yet, in spite of this, some black people still bow their head toward Arabia moon god. God is every where but they must bow toward Arabia before he can answer their prayers-- isn't that brilliant?

In the video you will see the white men who went to meet the Arabian officials to discuss ending slavery in Arabia.
In the video you will see how they forced black women to walk around naked in public- such a disgrace. You will see how they sell black people like we are animals.
If you look closely at the video, you will see some little children who look half-black and half-Arab: those are the children that came from rapes. Many of these children have different fathers but same mother because the kidnapping and raping of black women was legal and rampant.

It took the effort of the white men to put a stop to these atrocities being committed on black people.

Trans-Sahara slave trade:
Millions of blacks died while being transported to the middle-east. Further millions of black men were castrated.

The shameful treatment of black people by Arabian savages: The women were forced to walk around naked, sexually harrased, and raped. They were forced to serve their pervert "master" naked. In fact, it was this shameful acts which lead to the invention of the Hijab contrary to popular believe. The Hijab has its history in slavery. It was used to separate "the women they can oppress but not sexually harass" from the women "they can both oppress and sexually harass." The hijab, thus, represent bondage not freedom.
The articles below did a fantastic job of gathering and detailing the atrocities committed on black people, especially black women, using Islamic sources.
