From the people that pretty much invented it, the taking of slaves is happening again in the benighted, failed state of Sudan:
Nairobi — Officially, [the] slave trade ended 200 years ago ...
But history has a way of repeating itself, and it is doing just that in Sudan, where thousands of black Africans from the south are abducted and sold as slaves in the Arab north.
According to reports from non-governmental organisations and human rights agencies, a black slave goes for between $10 and $100 (Sh800 and Sh8,000), and various sources claim there are more than 10,000 people living in slavery and servitude in Sudan today, most of them abducted from their villages by government-backed Arab militia.

Kool,

When -18bama is done, retired, looking for something to do... here is quite an opportunity for him, as its in his blood. As his African-arab forebears before him...
Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom God has given you as booty.”— Qur’an, 33:50
Islam had codified and institutionalised the abhorrent practice long before the transatlantic slave trade. The taking of non-Muslim slaves is sanctioned by the Qur’an – and the practice is further supported in the ahadith, the sayings and traditions of Mohammed (himself a slave-taker and owner); with swathes of text dealing with the jurisprudence, treatment and commercial rules surrounding slavery.
And now it is back with a vengeance – with the slide of many Muslim-majority countries into near or actual failed states, legitimate government gives way to Sharia law and slavery (although it never really ended, merely declining in scale and retreating into the shadows); is becoming common practice once again.
More Cultural Enrichmnent™ from the Religion of Peace.
Wasn’t the poodle just over there, on the taxpayers dime?
You mean Michelle meeting with the Hookers Union? I mean government sex workers.
I think blacks in this country should try to get reparations from the decedents of the muslim slavers that sent their ancestors to this country.

Non-Sequitur can justify muzleem slavery.
Okay, so why aren’t Jesse and Al having fits about this?
US ended its slavery in 1865. Maybe the A-rabs will end theirs in 2065.
They learn nothing from history.
Islam has been doing this for about 1300 years .
No money in it for Jessie and Al.

The Luo tribe of the Northeastern coast of Kenya, from whose loins the current pretend president allegedly sprung,
engaged in the slave trade with the Arabs for centuries.As a result they became people of the one profit.
The Luo hunted inland and rounded up the tribesmen of the interior.They roped the “infidel” people together and engaged in all the nefarious practices which have been ascribed to the horrible white slavers of colonial infamy.
But one hears little about the truth of it.The fat is that the same ruthless quality inhabits the Obama Movement in its definition of race and historical justice,but not agianst the blacks and Arabs who perpetrated the trade,only against Caucasians and “Europeans.”
(If you would like to learn about the Arab African slave traders that came from the same area of Africa that Obama’s father came from, read Tippu Tip and the East African Slave Trade (Leda Farrant, Northumberland Press, 1975). Tippu Tip looked African, but he was 100% Arab and Muslim. By the way, Arab is not a racial term, but a cultural/language term.)
Jesse won’t be talking about this situation...
Do the Saudis still prefer to have them castrated?
How does his post count as justifying it?
His point is that slavery is built into Islam, and once a state’s legitimate political government fails (usually thanks to Islamic attacks), the Muslims install sharia, which is built on the principle of non-Muslim inferiority and thus the legitimacy of slavery.
Islam is essentially an Arab superiority cult that its founder was clever and evil enough to dress up as a religion.
Interestingly, slavery had pretty much died out in Western Europe because it was economically unprofitable and also because Christianity required that slaves be treated as human beings. It was replaced by serfdom during part of the Middle Ages, which itself became unprofitable and disapppeared as the economy of Europe changed.
Slavery came back into the West through contacts with the Muslims, who captured hundreds of thousands of Europeans on the Mediterranean and held them for ransom before selling them into slavery if they weren’t ransomed in time. They were, of course, also trading in Africans, who were not captured for ransom but to be sold as slaves outright. But when Europeans, particularly the Portuguese, came into contact with the Muslims in North Africa when they went to negotiate the ransom of captured Europeans (a big source of income for the Arab raiders), some of them obviously thought, hey, why not? and bought African slaves for sale as labor in the New World. The English also needed labor for the American colonies, and of course, it wasn’t hard to find American counterparts to handle the trade (particularly, for some reason, the Quaker slave merchants). So an evil industry was reborn, thanks to contacts with Islam.
