The Arab Slaver (Arab racism)

Morton's two cents ^ | June 08, 2008

Slavery was legal in Saudi Arabia until 1974.

In the interest of historical accuracy it was in 1964 that Saudi Arabia "officially* outlawed slavery, but it still exists, in a slightly modified form within the "Magic Kingdom" today. Your second point of the preference for castrated male subSaharan African slaves is 100% accurate...

zurka not zorka.

Zurka means “dirty black” in Arabic.

Thanks for the clarification/correction.

bump ... and there’s the word kafir in Arabic. Even the South African whites adopted that loan word into Afrikaans.

The point I always make is that every civilization in human history has permitted slavery, but only one--Western civilization--came up with the idea that slavery was inherently wrong. Before Western civilization, any opposition to slavery was opposition to slavery for us, for one's own tribe or people, but not for other peoples.

The history of European colonialism in Africa is also the history of the abolition of the slave trade in Africa. When the British and French came in, the millennium-old Muslim Arab slave trade came to a halt.

I like to remind my black friends that the replacement of the Constitution with Sharia law would mean, for certain, the return of slavery. And have no doubt about who those slaves are going to be.

‘64?

Jello Biafra was wrong?

And the Turks called their Christian slaves Giaours.

A proud Giaour.

The arabic word for black AND slave is ABID.
The arabic word for Negro is Abid -- which is the same word for Slave.

Slavery was *officially* outlawed in the same year that the penalty of death by crucifixion was outlawed, which was in 1964. This was, also, the last major change to Saudi Arabian law, as the Wahabbi clerics will allow no more "modernization" from the House of Saud. Who do you think was *really* behind the "Mecca takeover"?

Yes, noted, he should have titled it Arab-Muslim, not plain Arab.

[PRePublic]

Yes, correct, it's Zurka

Darfur and Arab racism
Their tormentors abuse them as abid, Arabic for slave, or zurka, meaning “dirty black”.
