African Americans, slavery and Islam

Many African Americans in the United States have renounced Christianity and embraced Islam, in protest against the enslavement of their ancestors by white Christians in America when slavery was legal in America. This is ironic because Islam supports slavery. The enslavement of Africans under Islam is not only a historical fact, but is something that continues today, in some parts of Africa, and some Islamic countries, since Sharia (Islamic Law) supports slavery.

Historically, Islam has enslaved members of all races.

o The enslavement of Black Africans by Islam is described in the book "Islam's Black Slaves: The Other Black Diaspora" by Ronald Segal

o The enslavement of white Christians from Europe by Islam is described in the book "Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast and Italy, 1550-1800" by Robert C. Davis

o The enslavement of Hindus by Islam is described in the book "Muslim slave system in Medieval India" by K.S.Lal

The enslavement of Jews in Islam started from the time of the Prophet of Islam. All unarmed adult male members (about 800 in number) of the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza, who had surrendered, were beheaded and their women and children were sold into slavery in Medina by Muslims in 627 A.D., in the presence of the Prophet of Islam. The Prophet of Islam made no attempt to stop these killings of unarmed Jewish men and the enslavement of the women and children of the Jews.

In fact, Islam has sustained slavery for 1,400 years, since Sharia (Islamic Law) supports slavery.

Plus, a large percentage of black African slaves sold to the Western Hemisphere were captured and sold by Muslims.

This is about an hour long talk (by Peter Hammond), but it provides a good summary of the history of slavery - neglected by our educational system.

I’ve heard it speculated that near the end of his life Malcolm X may have actually questioned his moslem faith, as if he was soul searching as to why he converted in the first place. Could this have had anything to do with his assassination? If he lived would he have eventually renounced islam and became Born Again?

I find the ignorance of American black Muslims hilarious.

They are sad, stupid and pathetic idiots, who have been brainwashed by the Democrats/mediots/overseers like Je$$ie HiJack$on, Mad Maxine Waters, Al Sharpton and every member of the black caucus. Also, brainwashed into forgetting who enslaved them and founded the KKK!

If they ever wake up, that will be the end of the rats in congress to local levels.

Planned Parenthood buildings will be burnt to the ground with the butchers inside. ABCNNBCBS’s studios will be destroyed, and the NY/Slimes and Compost will suffer similar fates.

The Left just averts their eyes and pretends not to see a thing or hear a word.

The enslavement of Africans under Islam is not only a historical fact, but is something that continues today,

And will continue till islame is eradicated from mankind.

The arab word for slave is the same word for black.

In fact, every slave sold in the markets in North Africa, the center of the slave market, were captured by Muslims. This tradition continues unchallenged and unstopped today.
Without Muslim slavers there would have been no slave trade. It was not possible for Europeans to enter the Ivory Coast and capture native people. Only North African Muslims were capable of this enterprise.

This photograph, taken in 1868, shows the Arab slave trade in Indian Ocean. You can see both the Arab slavers and the enslaved Africans. Notice the large number of very young boys. Arab men pedophiles before pedophelia was cool for the degenerate leftists.

The slave trade in Africa would not have been possible without the spread of Islam. Tribal warfare and the resulting slave trade closely follows the spread of Islam in Africa.

White trash was not tramping deep into the continent to collect slaves. They were picking them up at a few well established ports where they had been collected by Muslim traders, usually with the cooperation of allied African tribes who had been convinced that it was more profitable to sell rather than kill their human captives.

Frederic Douglass, among one of many of the early black abolition leaders, was not at all fond of the plan to resettle freed slaves in Africa as was done with Liberia. A well educated man, Douglass knew full well what they would be getting and preferred an uncertain future in "racist" America.

That would be virtually all of them. Arab slave traders were virtually the first link in the chains of slaves worldwide.

Muslims still enjoy having slaves
