This is why we need to hang onto as many old books as we can. I see a day coming when they try to rewrite all of history. I have many precious books from my father’s library. I would not part with them for anything. These pictures tell a story that some day may be erased - or at least some will attempt to erase it.
Much of the story of white slavery and the huge numbers taken from the south of England, Cornwall, has already disappeared from the web. The mohammadans even reached all the way to ICELAND on their slave-raids.
In what remains, they are referred to as Barbary Pirates. They were mohammadans. Arabs!
His new book, Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy, 1500-1800, concluded that 1 million to 1.25 million ended up in bondage.

Muslim and Arab Turks have always been partial to European slaves and value them more than black slaves. European slaves were acquired through conquest, raids and piracy. As many as a million Christians were enslaved through piracy alone during the 1,200 or so years that Muslims preyed on merchant ships in the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Muslims in one raid on Iceland took 800 slaves while Muslim pirates ranged as far as Newfoundland. Nearly the entire population of the village of Baltimore in Ireland was enslaved during a Muslim raid in 1631 and other Muslim slave raids were launched against coastal villages in Devon and Cornwall. Many more Christians were enslaved through raids and military conquest. An article about Britains enslaved by Muslim raiders can be found here

There’s a great book about how the history of the Crusades has been rewritten: God’s Battalions, The Case for the Crusades, by Rodney Stark. I recommend it highly.
Obviously whites were victims of slavery throughout history, at the hands of many. In fact, an entire “race” of peoples carry a name synonymous with slavery: The Slavs.
