Islam
A Totalitarian and Fascistic Political, Religious, and Supremacist Ideology
aka: The Religion of Peace

"And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him" (Genesis 16:12).

"For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him?
Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous" (1 John 3:11-12).

The Islamic Trade in European Slaves (11 August 2017)

"Modern Western culture, with its Anglo-centric worldview, has an almost obsessive preoccupation with the European trade in African slaves, a trade that commenced in the late 15th century and ended in the mid-19th, but seems to have little knowledge of or interest in the equally intense Muslim trade in European slaves during the same epoch. This is a strange state of affairs, given the fact that, in general, the Europeans enslaved by the Muslims between the 15th and 19th centuries were treated appallingly, and the trade had a long-term and devastatingly impact upon large areas of the continent..."

Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters (15 September 2016)

"Today, institutional slavery conjures images of pre-Civil War Southern ownership of African slaves. However, slavery is an ancient practice dating from ancient Eqypt, Greece, and Rome, as well as early Amer-Indian empires in Mexico and Central America. It was also well established and ideologically sanctioned in the Muslim world from the days of Mohammed. Concurrently with African enslavement in the Americas, a flourishing slave trade existed from 1500 to 1800 of white Christian Europeans by the Muslims of North Africa's Barbary Coast..."

Black Iran: The Forgotten Legacy of Enslaved Africans in Persia is Being Resurrected (16 January 2016)

"Although Iran receives attention these days for a number of things ... there are other aspects to the nation and its history that have remained elusive. Take, for instance, the history of Africans in Iran. Slavery had existed in the country for hundreds of years, and yet Iranians have not come to terms with their past, if they understand it at all..."

10 Facts About the Arab Enslavement of Black People Not Taught in Schools (02 June 2014)

"The number of people enslaved by Muslims has been a hotly debated topic, especially when the millions of Africans forced from their homelands are considered. Some historians estimate that between A.D. 650 and 1900, 10 to 20 million people were enslaved by Arab slave traders. Others believe over 20 million enslaved Africans alone had been delivered through the trans-Sahara route to the Islamic world..."

Denials of Islamic Slavery (22 August 2013)

"One of the most controversial aspects of Islam is its doctrine of slavery. It incites controversy because slavery in the modern world is clearly considered a contemptible practice. In Islamic doctrine however, it isn't. For centuries, abolitionist groups from the West and non-Western world lobbied strenuously to see slavery become abolished in Western colonies from Africa to India and beyond. The formal abolishment of slavery in Muslim countries was not enacted ... until the intervention of the West..."

Islamic Slavery Part 1: Introduction (03 September 2011)

"One major criticism of the West by all, and particularly by Muslims, pertains to the trans-Atlantic slave-trade by European powers and their mindless exploitation and degrading treatment of slaves in the Americas and West Indies. Muslims are often quick to point fingers at the European slave-trade; ... [and] an overwhelming majority of Muslims believe that Islamic history is devoid of the abhorrent practice of slavery ... [but] Islamic slavery has been the most horrible, yet the least known slavery in history..."

Islam, Slavery and Rape (23 November 2007)

"Islamic slavery is based on the Trilogy of the Koran, the Sira (Mohammed's life) and the Hadith (the Traditions of Mohammed). All three texts say that slavery is permitted, ethical, desirable and a virtue. There is not one single negative word about slavery..."

Islam and Slavery (April/May 2007)

"In this article I invite you to begin to learn about Islam's involvement in slavery. Islam has had a major role in the history of slavery beginning with Muhammed, and taking slaves from Europe across to Indonesia and down into Africa. But unlike the Western empires, Islam has never apologised and feels no shame. In fact Muslim leaders boast of their empire as the 'Golden Period' and hide its corruption and brutality..."

Book Review: White Gold by Giles Milton (26 October 2004)

"Giles Milton's latest book is a valuable work simply because the story of slavery belongs to us all ... Much is written about the slave trade, but rarely does on read a book about the likes of Thomas Pellow. ... Readers will be tempted to ask, 'Were Pellow's capturers tyrannical and bloodthirsty barbarians?' The politically incorrect answer to that is, 'Yes.'..."

The Scourge of Slavery: The Rest of the Story (2004)

"While much has been written concerning the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, surprisingly little attention has been given to the Islamic slave trade across the Sahara, the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean..."

Black Slavery is Alive in 2001 (04 January 2001)

"Black slaves are still available - just not in the United States. To make a purchase, you'd have to travel to the Sudan ... Slavery in the Sudan is in part a result of a 15-year war by the Muslim north against the black Christian and animist south..."

Kuffarphobia via Slavery (No Date)

There are 52 photographic slides at the top of this article. Please be warned, they are very harrowing, but the average Westerner who in school has been taught all about the Transatlantic slave trade but has heard nothing about the slavery of Africans and Europeans by Muslims really needs to be 'red pilled' on this subject. "Many people are unaware of the pivotal role in the slave trade played by Muslim merchants that brought the slaves to the coast for sale, and are similarly unaware that slavery was still practiced by several Islamic states well into the 20th century..."

The Racism and Slavery of Islam (No Date)

"Racism is the belief that inherent different traits in human racial groups justify discrimination. It is applied especially to the practice or advocacy of racial discrimination of a pernicious nature (i.e. which harms particular groups of people). Modern usage often equates 'racism' and 'racial discrimination' and defines the latter term only as applying to pernicious practices. Racism is popularly associated with various activities that are illegal or commonly considered harmful, such as extremism, hatred, xenophobia, malignant or forced exploitation, separatism, racial supremacy, mass murder (for the purpose of genocide), genocide denial, vigilantism (hate crimes, terrorism), etc..."

Slavery in Islam (No Date)

"Muslims were enslaving black Africans long before any slave ships sailed for the New World. Muslims were taking and making slaves all over the lands they conquered. Later, when slave ships were loaded with black slaves, often, a Muslim slave broker had the human cargo all ready to go. American slavers rarely had to go into inland to capture slaves, they were already waiting there, courtesy of some Muslim ruler, and/or slave broker. In many cases, if the black slaves were not sent to the New World, they were sent to the Mideast to be enslaved by Arabs, or kept by other black Muslims as slaves..."

What Does Islam Teach About Slavery? (No Date)

"Does Islam condone slavery? Does Islamic teaching allow Muslim men to keep women as sex slaves? Islam neither ignores nor condemns slavery. In fact, a large part of the Sharia is dedicated to the practice. Muslims are encouraged to live in the way of Muhammed, who was a slave owner and trader. He captured slaves in battle; he had sex with his slaves; and he instructed his men to do the same. The Quran actually devotes more verses to making sure that Muslim men know they can keep women as sex slaves than it does to telling them to pray five times a day..."

Videos and YouTubes

YOUTUBE: Islam's Dark History of Slavery (Whitewashed and Forgotten) (05 September 2018)

"We always talk about hose Europeans enslaved immense numbers of Africans. We usually don't talk about the parties actually involved or not involved in that slave trade. What we also don't talk about are other slave trades that were even bigger and lasted longer, like the Eastern (Islamic) Slave Trade. Western media choose selective moral outrage, and while Western schools teach their youth about their own faults, the Islamic World is far from being honest. Therefore I choose to talk about this dark history, and I hope to spread more awareness so that more and more people can know and talk about the cruelties of the Islamic world."

YOUTUBE: Islam Advocates Slavery (31 August 2018)

"For a religion of peace that brought liberation to humans, Islam and its prophet have a very worrying stance on slavery."

YOUTUBE: Fearless Christian Sister Tells Muslims the Truth About Slavery in Africa (29 January 2017)

"While Islam is often presented as a force for social justice in the West, the truth is that Muhammad bought, sold, owned, and traded black African slaves. Muhammad's followers institutionalized black African slavery centuries before the United States even existed. In this video, Sarah Foster educates Muslims about the history of slavery in Africa."

YOUTUBE: Muhammed: The White Prophet with Black Slaves (12 February 2016)

"Many people who don't read the Muslim sources assume that Muhammed was dark-skinned. However, according to Islam's most trusted sources Muhammed was white. These same sources show that Muhammed also owned black slaves. How can we reconcile these facts with the spread of Islam among African-Americans in recent decades?"

YOUTUBE: The Forgotten Slaves of Barbary North Africa and Ottoman Turkey (08 November 2015)

"Ohio State University history Professor Robert Davis describes the White Slave Trade - as minimized by most modern historians - in his book, Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast and Italy, 1500-1800. Davis estimates that 1 million to 1.25 million white Christian Europeans were enslaved in North Africa, from the beginning of the 16th century to the middle of the 18th, by slave traders from Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli alone..."

YOUTUBE: Islamic Slavery in Africa (16 July 2015)

"The story of slavery that we are told never includes the role of Islam. The slaves were captured by jihadists and brought to the coast. We have a detailed record of how this took place. Prosperous regions of Africa were destroyed by the Arab slave traders. Out of the slaves that were captured, only 20% of them ever made to the pens on the coast to be sold. There is an oddity in the language used in historical record. The words Muslim, Islam and jihad are never used, but only referred to. We will never understand the slave trade until we understand the Islamic doctrine of slavery."

VIDEO: Islam's Shame - Modern Day Slave Trading (18 June 2009)

"The West is familiar with the history of slavery in the new world. It was sinful and terrible, and it lasted for several hundred years. And it was abolished mainly through the efforts of Christians in England (Wilberforce, Clarkson), and America (the Abolitionists, primarily Protestant). However, few people in the west know about Islam and slavery."

Migrant Crisis Drives Record Rise of Slavery in Europe (11 August 2017)

"The National Crime Agency [has] warned [that] slavery in the UK is 'far more prevalent than previously thought', as analysts revealed that mass migration has driven Europe to record the largest increase in slavery of any world region in 2017.

"Islamic State has written an article about sex slaves in their magazine Dibiq. Now apologists for Islam say that IS has nothing to do with Islam.

They quote four verses in the Koran about how Kafir women can be captured and used for sex. Mohammed had sex slaves and his closet companions had sex slaves..."

The Curse of Cain

"After Cain killed his brother, the Lord told him, ... 'Cursed shall you be from the earth', ... and so it has been. The earth under their feet may be cursed, it yields nothing but sand and thistles, ... They become worshippers of death dreaming of the green verdant fields of paradise which they can reach only if they kill enough men, women and children. Leaving devastation behind them, dead lands, lost cultures, widows and orphans, they claw their way up to heaven on a ladder of bones. Everything around them dies until the only green is on their flags. They are cursed from the earth and they curse the earth. Where they go, the world dies. ... Cain sows fields of corpses of the innocent for the Lord and he still does not understand why his sacrifice is not accepted and why the earth he dwells on is cursed. ... From Iraq to Iran, from Kuwait to Saudi Arabia, from Nigeria to Somalia, from Pakistan to Indonesia, he holds up human heads and cries 'Allahu Akbar'. ... There is no room for Cain anywhere. Where he remains there will be death and suffering. He will kill because it is all he can do. He has nothing else to offer the world, his own kind, or the Creator.. ... He kills from one end of the world to the next and it is never his fault. Each time, each Abel did it. ... His code is cruelty and his holy book is written in blood on the flayed skins of his murdered victims. ... The cries of peoples long vanished from the earth warn us that we will either drive out Cain or his curse will fill our lands with blood and dust and all that we love and all that we have worked for will die at his cursed touch" [source].

The Burden Which Habakkuk the Prophet Saw

The righteous cry out for God's punishment of the injustice in their lands:
O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

The LORD God answers:
Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.
They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves:
And their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.

The dismay of the righteous at God's answer:
Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die.
O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity:
Wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

The LORD God's reassurance to the righteous:
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
