“A comparison of the Muslim slave trade to the American slave trade reveals some interesting contrasts. While two out of every three slaves shipped across the Atlantic were men, the proportions were reversed in the Muslim slave trade. Two women for every man were enslaved by the Muslims.
While the mortality rate for slaves being transported across the Atlantic was as high as 10%, the percentage of slaves dying in transit in the Transsahara and East African slave trade was between 80 and 90%!
While almost all the slaves shipped across the Atlantic were for agricultural work, most of the slaves destined for the Muslim Middle East were for sexual exploitation as concubines, in harems, and for military service.
While many children were born to slaves in the Americas, and millions of their descendants are citizens in Brazil and the USA to this day, very few descendants of the slaves that ended up in the Middle East survive.
While most slaves who went to the Americas could marry and have families, most of the male slaves destined for the Middle East were castrated, and most of the children born to the women were killed at birth.
It is estimated that possibly as many as 11 million Africans were transported across the Atlantic (95% of which went to South and Central America, mainly to Portuguese, Spanish and French possessions. Only 5% of the slaves went to the United States).”
Only under Christianity has slavery been stamped out.
I find it revolting that young and old Blacks take Muslim names, ignore the true history of how their ancestors became slaves, and fall to the lure of Islam.
Reparations? Why not sue the Muslim countries (rich in oil) for going inland, capturing slaves, dragging them to the coast, and selling them to the Spanish and Portuguese?
Also, what about all the millions who were castrated, and used as sex slaves?
I thank God that my ancestor, once enslaved, was sent West and not taken East to a Muslim Hell Hole, to serve as a concubine, or sex slave.
Great Post ,
THANK You.
REPARATIONS LOGIC.
