View a video that describes little-known information about Islam’s extensive involvement in the African slave trade.

Following is a transcript of the video:

Introductory narrator:  “I must admit that I, too, among hundreds of millions of educated people, was under the impression that the African slave trade was the sole responsibility of the Christian Europeans, the white race.  That is, until I started exploring the subject in greater depth, and especially after reading an incredibly enlightening book called ‘The Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa,’ by John Alembillah Azumah.  My whole perspective and understanding has changed dramatically.  I would like you to tell us more about this subject.”

The success of Mohammedan Islam in deceiving, misinforming, deforming, and contorting both history and reality over a period of almost 1,400 years has been astounding, that is until now.  The greatest tragedy of this particular subject is that most of the decedents of African slaves in the Americas, around the world, as well as the African blacks are totally ignorant of the actual facts.

Before we loose concentration of our listeners, I would like to make the following statement and then prove it.  The worst, most inhumane, and diabolical institution of the black African slave trade was initiated, refined, perpetrated, and implemented by the Mohammedan Arabs and later aided and  abetted by the black converts to Mohammedan Islam.

I predict that as usual the two subcultures of denial of facts and of political correctness will attack us without once disproving a single statement, and / or conclusion that we make.

Slavery was not created by the white races, because it has existed throughout the human history, and practiced by every tribe, culture, civilization, racial group, and religion.  In fact, the very word “slavery” has its root in name “Slav,” based on the Slavic people of Europe who were subjugated by other Europeans.

The arabic word “abed” is synonymous with the meaning of the word “slave,” and in the language of the Arabs, black people are called “abeed” with is plural for “slaves.”

While much has been written about the transatlantic slave trade, very little attention has been paid to the Islamic slave trade across the Sahara, Red Sea, and Indian Ocean.  While European involvement in the African slave trade over the Atlantic lasted for just over three centuries, the Arab involvement in the African save trade has lasted for 14 centuries, and in some parts of the Mohammedan world is still continuing to this day.

The birth of Mohammedan Islam and its conquests brought about the birth of institutionalized, systematized, and religiously sanctioned slave trade, on a massive and global scale.  In fact, the Koran allows the taking of slaves as booty or reward for wars of aggression against any and all unbelievers, which are most of the human population.  This has led to an enormous number of so-called “holy wars”—jihad in Arabic.  There was, and is, absolutely nothing holy about these wars which were primarily to plunder, slaughter, rape, subjugate, and rob other human beings of their wealth, produce, freedom, and dignity.  Muhammaden Muslims attacked other non-Muslim groups to achieve these objectives.

Although Islamic jurisprudence laid down regulations for the treatment of slaves, incredible and heinous abuses have occurred throughout the history of Mohammedan Islam.  By the Middle ages, the Arabic word “abed” was in general used to denote a black slave, while the word “Mamluk” referred to a white slave.

Ibn Khaldun (1332 – 1406), the preeminent Islamic medieval historian and social thinker wrote: “The negro nations are as a rule submissive to slavery, because they have attributes that are quite similar to dumb animals.”  It should also be noted that black slaves were castrated, based on the assumption that the blacks have an ungovernable sexual appetite.

When the Fatimid Caliphate came to power in Egypt, they slaughtered all the tens of thousands of black military slaves of the previous caliphate and raised an entirely new slave army.  Some of these slaves were conscripted into the army at age ten. From Persia to Egypt to Morocco, slave armies from 30,000 up to 250,000 became common-place.

The Islamic slave trade took place across the Sahara Desert, from the coast of the Red Sea, and from East Africa across the Indian Ocean.  The Trans Sahara trade was conducted along six major slave routes.  Just in the 19th Century, for which there are more accurate records, 1.2 million slaves were brought across the Sahara into the Middle East, as well as a further 450,000 down the Red Sea and 442,000 from East African coastal ports.  That is a total of 2 million black slaves – just in the 1800’s.  At least 8 million more were calculated to have died before reaching the Muslim slave markets.

A comparison of the Islamic slave trade to the American slave trade reveals some extremely interesting contrasts.  While two out of every three slaves shipped across the Atlantic were men, the proportions were reversed in the Islamic 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 Trans Sahara and East African slave trade was a staggering 80 to 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 arrived to the Americas could marry and have families, most of the male slaves destined for the Middle East were castrated, and the majority 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 ended up in the United States.)

However, a minimum of 28 million Africans were enslaved in the Muslim Middle East.  Since at least 80% of those captured by Muslim slave traders were calculated to have died before reaching the slave markets, it is believed that the death toll from 1,400 years of Arab and Muslim slave raids into Africa could have been over 112 million.  When added to the number of those sold in the slave markets, the total number of African victims of the Trans Saharan and East African slave trade could be significantly higher than 140 million people.

What is obscene about this whole subject is the Mohammedan Muslim and Arab culture of denial regarding their complicity in the African slave trade, as well as the ignorance of black Muslims about the reality of their past and present conditions.  The statistics and reports are based upon the log books taken from the African slave ships, travelers reports, eyewitness accounts, ect.

Ladies and gentlemen, the facts and realities of Mohammedan Islam’s complicity in the slave trade and their inhuman depravity are infinitely more devastating, more staggering, and more incomprehensible than all the nightmare fictions in the world.
