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.
Non-Sequitur can justify muzleem slavery.
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.
