Islamic Slavery was the OPEC of Slavery just as in oil today:By Susan StephanSlavery in the Arab World\nMurray Gordon \n\nNew Amsterdam Books, New York, NY 1989 \n\nIn his fact-filled work on the history of the Muslim Arab slave trade in Africa, Murray Gordon notes that this trade pre-dated the European Christian African slave trade by a thousand years and continued for more than a century after the Europeans had abolished the practice\n\nWhite Slaves, African Masters\nAn Anthology of American Barbary Captivity Narratives\nEdited and with an introduction by Paul Baepler \n\nThe University of Chicago Press 1999 \n\nThis book illuminates a subject once well-known in the history of the West but which is now somewhat neglected: the enslavement, over several centuries, of tens of thousands of white Christian Europeans and (later) Americans in Muslim North Africa -- or the so-called \"Barbary\" states of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Tripoli. Over the course of 10 centuries, tensof thousands of these unfortunates became the possessions of Muslims in North Africa courtesy of the feared Barbary pirates. These pirates cruised the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean in search of European and, later, American ships to pillage and plunder. \n\nhttp://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/SStephan/islamic_slavery.htm\n\nWhen doing research on African slavery I came across this video and was surprised about the slave trade in the Middle East, especially around North Africa.\n\nThis explains the current genocide that is going on in Darfur and the Sudan. I could see the link with the past that this has been going on for 14 centuries.\n\nThis person wrote this book about slavery in Islamic states.\n\nJohn Alembillah Alembillah Azumah\n\nThe book is called Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa: A Quest for Inter-Religious Dialogue.\n\nThis book reveals the dark secret of Islam and slavery of black people in Africa and the history of how Arab Muslims went to war on and captured black men, women and children and turned them into slaves.\n\nWhile slavery only lasted 3 centuries in the west, it has lasted 14 centuries in the Middle East and exists today in many Muslim countries.\n\nHe explains thebook in this short video and it is very interesting.\n\nIt explains that when Arab slave traders would raid black villages to the south they would kill the adults and kidnap the children.\n\nThe boy children were indoctrinated into an Islamic army for the Arabs and the girls were taken as household andsex slaves.\n\nThe reason their were not that many black descendants in the middle east is because the black male children were castrated so they could not reproduce.\n\nThere were a few black Africans who grew up and because they curried favor with their masters were allowed to also be slave traders.A very interesting history of black African slave trade and the Muslim Arab world.\n\nPeople need to know this history, BUT instead sadly people willnever get enough of watching Souljah Boy dance dude, 50 cent, old Tupac Shakur Rap videos, Britany Spears and other videos and never know the truth, especially white and black converts or reverts.This is part of the legacy of slavery that most African American people should know.\n\nMany black converts or reverts do not know this history before they converted believing that they were originally Muslim before they were sold into slavery. They were not. People should research their history before they convert or revert.\n\nhttp://fr.youtube.com/user/AhmadsQuran3 allah, Barbary, castration, islam, jihad, Koran, MalcolmX, men, muhammad, muslim, NOI, quran, slavery, USA
