The Arab slave trade predated the transatlantic slave trade by at least 800 years and has outlived it for 150 years and counting. Whereas Muhammad owned both male and female black slaves, European explorers didn’t even begin dipping their beaks into the African human-cattle trade in large numbers until the 1500s.
Roughly three centuries later, Europeans and their American descendants took it upon themselves to put the kibosh on slavery. In contrast with Christendom, there was never a concerted Arabic abolition movement, and slavery was only formally outlawed in the Islamic world due to intense outside pressure. But slavery still openly thrives in places such as Mauritania and, on the downlow, throughout much of Africa and the Middle East.
Historical estimates for the Arab slave trade range from a low of eight million to a high of 25 million. In contrast, the general consensus is that around 11 million Africans were transported to the New World—yet only a mere 5% of those wound up in what is now the USA, although the USA gets 100% of the guilt-tripping.
Despite what you may think, Europeans bought their slaves from established African slave markets and did not make extended forays into the bush to raid villages for slaves, booty, and slave-girl booty. In contrast, Arab slave traders penetrated deep into Africa to kidnap their prey.
If “sexism” bums you out, consider that two-thirds of transatlantic slaves were male, whereas two-thirds of those transported in the Arab slave trade were female.
Though some have mislabeled the African experience in America as “genocide,” that’s an uphill climb considering that an original slave population of about a half-million has blossomed into nearly 40 million black Americans, nearly all of whom enjoy greater longevity and higher living standards than their Western African brethren.
The term “genocide” is more apt for what happened to Africans transported into the Middle East. Males who weren’t murdered in their African villages were routinely castrated—penis often included—whereas females were primarily used as sex slaves. When African concubines were impregnated, it was common practice to kill their infants at birth. This is why, despite the fact that far more African blacks were forcibly transported to the Middle East than to North America, you’ll see far more black faces here than over there.
Though the infamously brutal transatlantic “Middle Passage” yielded estimated fatalities ranging from 10 percent to a third, it seems downright cushy compared to being force-walked in slave caravans across the mercilessly gland-drying Sahara Desert, where four out of every five black Africans perished in transit.
Islamo-apologists may insist that they were far kinder to their slaves, yet reports exist to this day of insane torture methods including female and male genital mutilation, branding, hobbling, live insects shoved into victims’ ears before their earholes are waxed shut, and the “camel treatment,” where victims’ legs are tied beneath a dehydrated camel, who is then plied with ample food and water until its belly expands and dislocates the slave’s legs.
Just like the pathetic death rattle of neo-Marxists when confronted with soul-blotting communist atrocities and stratospheric death tolls, the Religion of Peace’s defenders will cough up a halfhearted, “Well, at least we’re not racist!” Hahaha!!
This is false in the sense that Arabic/sub-Saharan tribal animosity has underpinned Islamic predations in Africa from the start. The Arabic word Abd is often used to mean either “slave” or “black.” Medieval Islamic scholar Ibn Khaldun wrote, “The Negro nations are as a rule submissive to slavery, because they have attributes that are quite similar to dumb animals.”
The idea that Islamic slavery is anti-racist is true in the sense that it doesn’t discriminate between blacks and whites, so long as they’re infidels. In varying degrees of intensity, white Christendom and the Islamic world have been clashing for over 1300 years, with untold numbers of Christian POWs bound into slavery. Books such as White Gold and Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters detail the Islamic slave raids that were concentrated in the Mediterranean but reached as far north as Norway and Iceland and as far east as the Caucasus. Few Americans seem aware that only 25 years after 1776, we went to war against Muslim pirates.

There are numerous errors in this article. If this was meant to be "educational" it's a woeful failure, because it also involves some heavy misinformation.

Mind you, I have no particular reason to defend Islam or Arabs, but the attempt of this article to distort certain things is annoying.

What's the source of this article, where are the references/justifications for every single statement in it, what's the name of the author and what are his or her affiliations?

I know the truth, that's why this pitiful attempt to excuse and minimize the significance of the Atlantic slave trade annoys me. If you can't read between the lines, then maybe you don't understand what it is you're actually reading.

Edicolove: great write-up.
It is such a shame that the truth of the viciousness of arab rule and influence in africa is not widely known.
I am always in fits of laughter whenever I see nigerians boasting about their "wonderful" times in arabia land.
To top up the injury they have caused us, we then insult ourselves by taking illiterate arab girls for wives.
Nigerians! We have a loooooong way to go.

You people no get work

Post/link to a more accurate account then, physics
