“African Moslems ran the African slave trade. Moslems would raid a non-moslem village and, after satisfying their lusts for rape and murder, would take the remainder to sell as slaves.”
I know this is true - but what’s a good reference for this fact? I want that book. I want a reputable website with that information. I want to be able to show that to people.
That is possibly one of the most important pieces of information we need to disseminate.
Here’s just a start (Part 1) from oxford University Press.

There’s plenty more, if you look.

It gets worse the deeper you look.
An excerpt from
http://inthenameofallah.org/Islam%20&%20African%20Slave%20Trade.html
From the moment that Muhammad drew his sword to rob and conquer non-Muslims to this very day, Muslims have been taking non-Muslims, and even other black Muslims, as slaves.
Muslims were enslaving black Africans long before any slave ships sailed for the New World. Muslims were taking and making slaves all over the lands they had conquered.
Later, when slave ships were loaded with black slaves, often, a Muslim slave broker had the human cargo all ready to go. American slavers rarely had to go inland into darkest Africa to capture slaves because they were already waiting there, courtesy of many Muslim rulers, and/or slave broker.
In many cases, if the black slaves were not sent to the New World, they were sent to the Mideast to be bought by Arabs; thousands more were sent to India and other parts of the Empire or kept by other black Muslims as slaves.
