Islam, Racism and Slavery. Blacks in Morocco: "I Get Called a Slave"
Enza Ferreri Blog ^ | 19 November 2012 | Enza Ferreri

Islam is a supremacist doctrine that affirms not only Muslim superiority over non-Muslims, but also Arab superiority over other ethnic groups and races. Both Islam's holy texts - the Quran and the Hadith, namely Muhammad's official biography - and scholars are testament to that.

Muhammad himself bought, sold and kept African slaves.

Historically, Muslims' slave trade of black Africans has been by far the world's greatest numerically and the most long-lasting, spanning over 1400 years (watch the video "The Arab Muslim Slave Trade Of Africans, The Untold Story", by clicking on the link just below this post title).

Arab Muslims initiated slavery of ethnic Africans and breathed new life into slavery and the slave trade.

All over the world, only Christianity brought an end to slavery of all races. The Roman Empire abolished slavery after converting to Christianity, and Christians banned slavery in 19th century America.

Anti-black racism in Morocco

But slavery still exists in Muslim countries of the Middle East and north-central Africa. Watch the video "Muslim Slavery Still Exists", by clicking on the link just below this post title.

Islamic racism against black people is well documented in its theological foundations as it is in today's practices. Here is a recent report from Morocco.

Being black in Morocco: 'I get called a slave':

The latest cover of Maroc Hebdo magazine—seen as racist by some, defended by others—has launched a national debate on the struggles faced by sub-Saharan Africans living in Morocco.

“The Black Peril.” That's the controversial headline that the Moroccan weekly ran on its cover last week to tease to an article about the rise in the number of immigrants from sub-Saharan African, many of whom come to Morocco in the hopes of making it to Europe. Many are turned back and end up staying in Morocco, where they live in poverty. Some end up taking part in illegal activities to make a living. According to Morocco’s Interior ministry, there are about 10,000 illegal immigrants from Sub-Saharan Africa living in the country. Human rights organisations estimate this number higher as closer to 15,000.

Moroccan authorities are taking an increasingly strict approach to immigration from sub-Saharan Africa. Immigrants without residency permits are quickly expelled. The European Union’s ambassador to Morocco, Eneko Landaburu, recently called the treatment of these immigrants “problematic”, a sentiment echoed by the Moroccan Human Rights Organisation. Meanwhile, the Moroccan labour minister, Abdelouahed Souhail, accused sub-Saharan African immigrants of being in part responsible for the country’s employment crisis.

The International Organisation for Migration recently launched a campaign to raise 620,000 euros to help send some 1,000 illegal migrants from sub-Saharan Africa home.

"Young Moroccans have physically assaulted me on several occasions, for no reason"

Joseph (not his real name) is from Guinea. He lives in Casablanca, where he studies computing at a local university. He is a legal resident.

I came here to study computing thanks to a grant from my country. I’ve been here for four years, and for four years I’ve been a victim of racism. It happens all the time, everywhere.

The most awful incident took place at the airport. I was with my aunt, who was heading back to Guinea and had a lot of luggage. Other passengers from sub-Saharan countries, seeing her struggle to carry it, came to help her get it onto the plane, but an airline employee stopped them, saying she had to deal with it on her own because she was black. I replied in Arabic, and he replied by hitting me in the head. I told him I was going to file a complaint, and he said, sarcastically: “That’s right, go complain to the king!” I never did file a complaint.

Often, when I’m just walking down the street, people will call me a “dirty black man” or call me a slave. Young Moroccans have physically assaulted me on several occasions, for no reason, and passers-by who saw this didn’t lift a finger to help me. All my friends are black and they have all had similar experiences. Even the girls get insulted in the street. To avoid getting hurt, I now try to ignore the insults. But if someone starts to hit me, what can I do? I have to defend myself...

In two years, I’ll be done with my studies, and I certainly don’t intend to stay in Morocco to look for work. Even if someone were to offer me a job here, I would rather go home to Guinea.

Both CS Lewis and Winston Churchill had nothing but disgust for Islam, although they both underestimated its resolve.

I have a few relatives who are Muslims, they are totally ignorant of Islam’s involvement with slavery. With them its always the white man’s fault.

Whether it would enslave them or not, young black malcontents in this country gravitate towards Islam because it provides a like-minded home for their gangsta militancy. They can be comfortable with their hate and violence, even rewarded for it.

It was NOT Islam’s “resolve” that they are now flooding the West — it was at the West’s invitation that they spread out the way they have. Else they would have not come out and would have remained in their armpit countries.

You know the constant BS: our strength is in our diversity.

Tell that to the greatest generation.

Thanks Enza Ferreri.

I actually heard a professor state this when I was at university; alas, he wasn't my professor, he was filling in for someone who was out sick.

But African-Americans think that Muslims are their best buddies!

Right, even though it was white Christians who campaigned against and overcame black slavery, it’s the Muslims who are supposedly the black man’s best friend.

I recall right after Saddam was overthrown, soldiers and journalists discovered some ethnic Africans living there. Apparently they had been in Iraq since the slave trade, and the word for an African-Iraqi was the same word as “slave.”

Over the years, I have read very few articles about what happened to the African slave populations all over the world. It seems that only in the America’s did they have a chance to survive. It’s actually very shocking.

I’ve been incorrectly told that slavery in America was worse in the US.
