When 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.
This 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.
This person wrote this book about slavery in Islamic states.
John Alembillah Alembillah Azumah
The book is called Legacy of Arab-Islam in Africa: A Quest for
Inter-Religious Dialogue.
This 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.
While slavery only lasted 3 centuries in the west, it has lasted 14
centuries in the Middle East and exists today in many Muslim countries.
He explains the book in this short video and it is very interesting.
It explains that when Arab slave traders would raid black villages to the
south they would kill the adults and kidnap the children.
The boy children were indoctrinated into an Islamic army for the Arabs and
the girls were taken as household and sex slaves.
The 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.
There 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.
People need to know this history, BUT instead sadly people will never 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.
Many 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.
