The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has joined in the condemnation of monuments dedicated to Confederate soldiers who fought in the American Civil War (1861-1865).
On November 10, 2021, CAIR “welcomed a vote by Virginia’s Washington County Board of Supervisors to remove several Confederate monuments from outside a local courthouse.” CAIR National Communications Coordinator Ismail Allison stated, “People who betrayed this nation in order to preserve white supremacy and slavery do not deserve to be honored, especially not on public land.”[1]
However, CAIR’s appreciation of the action taken by the Washington County Board of Supervisors soon turned to condemnation because of a change that Board made by a unanimous decision. On December 15, 2021, CAIR “condemned a decision by Virginia’s Washington County to relocate two Confederate monuments to a space outside a government building.” CAIR National Communications Coordinator Ismail Allison said, “By moving these monuments to treason from outside a courthouse to outside another government building, the Board of Supervisors is allowing for the continued reverence of white supremacy and systemic anti-Black racism.”[2]
It is interesting that CAIR condemns white supremacy. According to the teachings of CAIR’s prophet Muhammad, there is no such thing as white supremacy or any other supremacy based on skin color. As I pointed out in an earlier article,[3] according to the teachings of CAIR’s prophet Muhammad, all people were divided into only two, non-racial categories; Muhammad stated:
One is only a righteous believer [Muslim] or a doomed evildoer.[4]
So according to Muhammad, and Koran verses such as 3:110, 98:6 and 98:7, regardless of skin color Muslims are inherently superior to non-Muslims.
CAIR also seems particularly incensed about the existence of slavery in the United States during a particular time period. Perhaps CAIR should be similarly incensed about slavery when it comes to their prophet Muhammad, because Muhammad was a slave owner and dealer. And as we are well aware, Muhammad is the perfect example for Muslims to follow today.
Muhammad was a slave owner and dealer
Muhammad happened to own a number of black slaves. He:
- Had a black slave boy named Mid’am.[5]
- Had a black male slave camel driver named Anjasha.[6]
- Had a black male slave as a doorman.[7]
- Had black slave girls. One of these slave girls committed fornication and Muhammad ordered that she be given 50 lashes after her postpartum bleeding had ended.[8] And a black slave girl played a drum for Muhammad’s entertainment.[9]
- Used two of his black slaves to purchase another slave.[10]
And there are numerous other authoritative reports in which Muhammad was personally involved in possessing, buying, selling, and giving away slaves in general. Here are some eye-opening stories about Muhammad and his dealings with slaves:
- It was narrated from Anas that the Prophet bought Safiyyah [one of his wives] for seven slaves.[11]
- ‘Adda’ bin Khalid bin Hawdhah said to me: ‘Shall I not read to you a letter that the Messenger of Allah wrote to me?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ So he took out a letter. In it was: ‘This is what ‘Adda’ bin Khalid bin Hawdhah bought [from] Muhammad the Messenger of Allah. He bought from him a slave’ – or – ‘a female slave, having no ailments, nor being a runaway, nor having any malicious behavior. Sold by a Muslim to a Muslim.’”[12]
- They [the Muslims] took several captives from the people of Mina’ which is on the shore, a mixed lot among them. They were sold as slaves and families were separated. The apostle arrived as they were weeping and inquired the reason. When he was told he said, ‘Sell them only in lots’, meaning the mothers with the children.[13]
- At times Muhammad personally took that same approach in keeping families together when he was distributing slaves: It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said: Prisoners would be brought to the Messenger of Allah and he would give an entire family [to someone, as slaves], because he did not want to separate them.[14]
- After the defeat of the Jewish Banu Qurayzah tribe, Muhammad divided up that tribe’s “property, wives, and children” among the Muslims, with the exception of some of the women that he sent to Najd and to Syria to be sold for horses and weapons.[15] Muhammad personally sold some of the other captured women. One Muslim explained: I attended the Messenger of God who was selling the prisoners of the Banu Qurayza. Abu al-Shahm al-Yahudi bought two women, with each one of them three male children, for one hundred and fifty dinars. Muhammad also personally sold “a portion” of the women and children to ‘Uthman b. ‘Affan and ‘Abd al-Rahman b. ‘Awf. [16]
- After the defeat of the Jews at Khaybar, Muhammad had the women of Khaybar “distributed among the Muslims.”[17]
- After the non-Muslim Hawazin tribe was defeated, Muhammad gave Ali, ‘Umar, and ‘Uthman (all later “Rightly Guided” Caliphs[18]) each a woman from among those captured. ‘Umar then gave his to his son.[19] Muhammad gave other “slave girls” to some of his Muslim warriors, who, along with ‘Uthman, then had “intercourse” with their slaves. It was reported that ‘Uthman’s slave-girl “detested him” after the “intercourse.”[20]
- Muhammad found out that one of his wives, Maimuna, had freed her slave-girl. Muhammad told Maimuna she would have received “more reward” had she given the slave-girl to one of her uncles (who no doubt would have greatly appreciated that gift): Narrated Maimuna, the wife of the Prophet that she manumitted her slave-girl and the Prophet said to her, “You would have got more reward if you had given the slave-girl to one of your maternal uncles.”[21]
- Muhammad gave his foster-sister a gift of a male and a female slave.[22]
- Muhammad tried to get the Banu Salamah tribe to join him in attacking the Byzantines at Tabuk by promising them that they would get sex slaves and servants. He told their leader, O Abu Wahb, would you not like to have scores of Byzantine women and men as concubines and servants?[23]
The “Slave Concubines” of Muhammad[24]
Muhammad had at least two slave concubines:
Mariyah bint Sham’un (Qibtiyyah),[25] the Copt:
Mariyah was a Coptic Christian given to Muhammad by al-Muqawqis, the ruler of Alexandria. She bore Muhammad a son named Ibrahim. When Muhammad was informed of Ibrahim’s birth by Abu Rafi, Muhammad gave Abu Rafi the gift of a slave because of the good news.[26] Ibrahim died as a young child in January 632.
Mariyah was the female slave mentioned in the following hadith where two of Muhammad’s wives were angry about a particular time he had intercourse with a female slave. This resulted in the “revelation” of 66:1 of the Koran, a portion of which is mentioned at the end of this hadith:
It was narrated from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah had a female slave with whom he had intercourse, but ‘Aishah and Hafsah would not leave him alone until he said that she was forbidden for him. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: “O Prophet! Why do you forbid (for yourself) that which Allah has allowed to you, until the end of the Verse.”[27]
The Tafsir Al-Jalalayn noted that Hafsa was angry because while she was away, Muhammad had slept with Mariyah in Hafsa’s bed.[28]
Rayhanah bint Zayd al-Quraziyyah (Rayhanah bint ‘Amr b. Khunafah):
Rayhanah was among the captives when the Muslims defeated the Banu Qurayzah, and she was chosen by Muhammad. Some reported that Muhammad freed her after she accepted Islam and married her in 627, while others reported that she remained his slave girl.[29] She died soon after his return from the Farewell Pilgrimage in February 632.
Additional Slave Girls
In one source it was reported that Muhammad also had two more slave girls. Jamilah, a captive, and another one, a bondwoman granted to him by Zainab bint Jahsh.[30]
And Ibn Ishaq wrote that on one occasion Muhammad had been given “four slave girls,” one of whom was Mariyah.[31]
According to a prize-winning 20th Century biography of Muhammad, he did not free his own slaves until the day before he died.[32]
CAIR’s criticism of slavery in the United States during a particular time period would have more credibility if they were to also acknowledge that Muhammad possessed, bought, and sold slaves, and then to criticize Muhammad’s extensive involvement in that slave trade. Until then, CAIR’s criticism of the Confederacy rings somewhat hollow.

BTeboe says
Isn’t Islam still involved in the slave trade? In fact weren’t Muslims one of the groups selling slaves to the rest of the world? This condemnation of what occurred 150 years ago in the US by a group of hypocrites is certainly rich.
Namer says
90% of all black slaves were sent to north africa and the middle east and yet in those countries there are basically no black people. Why is that? Because the ones that didnt die one the walk up north were worked to death or killed when they were no longer useful. Those women who who were used as sex slaves got to watch the babies they bore murdered after they were born.

Does CAIR also CONDEMN the Islamic slavers who collected and sold slaves to the Europeans? Without those Islamic enslavers and slave catchers, there would have been no trans-Atlantic slave trade.
JCA Reid says
how about condemning Arabic Slavery which has existed since the year dot? How about condemning slavery by the the Muslims which kicked off with Mohammed & is STILL ongoing? Mauritania supposedly gave it up in the 1980’s, however, they have brought back their Slave Markets. Likewise with the Hajj to Mecca, Kidnapping Season, an all year round activity.
Bruce D Watt says
The article while totally fact based and accurate, misses the actual things CAIR was complaining about. The human depictions of monuments. not slavery. they want all depictions destroyed like the Buddhas and Christian saints decapitated, the article gives them too much credit of thinking as they are just going by the edict in the Koran
somehistory says
Yes.
They don’t really give a hoot about the slavery issue. They are just using it as it is popular now to destroy all things of *history* in this country by those who have set themselves up as little dictators. When the destruction of the statues of the South is complete, there will be other things they will target.
mozlums destroy….statues, books, buildings, cemeteries, etc. because these things don’t conform to their book of evil filth.
PRCS says
“The human depictions of monuments. not slavery. they want all depictions destroyed like the Buddhas and Christian saints decapitated”
Yes. Using slavery (a continuing issue in the Muslim world–including instances in kafir nations) as the shield to accomplish that here.
mortimer says
What hypocrisy. Throughout the Islamic world, there are monuments to Islamic supremacists. They promoted slavery and persecution of religious minorities. The Islamic supremacists were in many cases far worse than the supremacists of the American South.
Message from CAIR spokesman Ismail Allison: “Sharia supremacism = good: kafir supremacism = bad”..
mortimer says
This hypocrisy by CAIR is like the joke told by Ronald Reagan: “An American argued with a Soviet communist. He said, ‘The difference between our systems is that I can go into the Oval Office and tell the president, ‘Mr. President, I disagree with your policy.’ The Russian replied, ‘But I have the same right in the Soviet Union. I can go into the office of the Premier of the USSR and say, ‘General Secretary, I disagree with the policy of the American president!’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_rDJTSy_Fc
Jim says
I suppose one important difference between sharia and the US Constitution is that our constitution can be amended and parts can be revoked or revised. Our Constitution requires 9 Judges to interpret it in terms of issues brought before it. Allah dictated Sharia, and therefore it is eternal. It cannot be changed. And Mohammed is the ideal and perfect model for human beings for all time. That is one reason why none of the practices in the Koran which are forbidden by US law can be changed by Muslim clerics and scholars. No matter how evil. Their monuments to Muslim slavery cannot be torn down or changed. They are written in stone forever.
Of course, their doctrine forbids graven images. If they were to take control of Italy, presumably they might also destroy all the Christian statuary and paintings depicting Jesus and biblical figures. If CAIR condemns slavery in the 19th century, that is good, but presumably it is an example of how Mohammed encouraged his followers to lie in order to defeat his enemies. Did a Muslim country or leader fight any wars to abolish Muslim slavery? Probably they never did and never would.
Wellington says
What hypocrisy. Islam officially retained slavery into the 20th century (e.g. Saudi Arabia until 1962). Unofficially, Islam still engages in slavery.
CAIR preaching about American wrongs is an utter joke. All societies have engaged in wrongs but America has attempted to right its wrongs at least as much as any other society in history, probably number 1 in this regard. Meanwhile, Islam continues to enslave the mind, body and spirit, especially of women and non-Muslims but even of deluded Muslim men themselves.
somehistory says
I recall a story out of Texas a few years ago which involved a mozlum and his wife…a pol in his home country…who came to the U.S. and kept a young girl as a slave in their home, making her do all the dirty chores that the couple didn’t want to do.
and there was the story out of CA a few years ago about a “princess” from the land of the saudi’s…mozlums of course….who had a slave working for her.
tim gallagher says
Muslims will always outdo all others in their level of hypocrisy, Wellington. But, of course, they are the “best” (try worst) of all people, so they think whatever they do is just fine. And, we all know these days that it’s only the white man and western civilisation that are responsible for all the evil in the world. I don’t know if you have the same saying in the USA, it is probably a universal saying, but there is the saying about arrogant, pompous people in Australia that they think their shit doesn’t stink. That’s Muslims for you. All the evil they do is just fine they seem to think, but the stench of faeces is enormous from islam throughout its terrible history.
Wellington says
Oh, we have that same saying, tim, here in America. I remember my father using it when I was a boy, usually of liberals.
tim gallagher says
It’s a good saying, Wellington, and seems to apply to Muslims and their arrogant attitude, which overlooks all the evil behaviours they exhibit. I haven’t actually heard it used for quite a long time so it is probably disappearing, but it does apply very well to some very self righteous people who are so very much in love with themselves. I’d say it does apply to many left leaning, liberal types because they are so mightily impressed by their virtuousness. They feel they are so morally superior due to all their virtue signalling behaviour even though it is often foolish behaviour and out of touch with reality.
john smith says
If I’d of been a slave in those bygone days, I’d rather of been a slave to Christians. The first thing those muslims did to their young male slaves was chop their nuts off. That’s not for me.

CAIR Condemns 19th Century Slavery in the United States, But What About Muhammad?
………………
Slavery was ended at great cost of blood and treasure here in the United States over 150 years ago.
It has *never* been ended in Islam.
Note that Ismail Allison and CAIR have *no* problem with that.
Allison has also condemned Americans for daring to ban Shari’ah law–which condones and sacralizes slavery. He haas claimed that taking issue with the horrors of Shari’ah is a “conspiracy theory”. He also wants to see murderous Jihad terrorist Dr. Aafia Siddiqui freed–the same goal as the Jihadist who took Jewish people hostage and threatened to murder them in a Synagogue in Texas.

David Foot says
The Africans of North Africa (Barbary coast) were capturing whites and using them for ransom or slavery, among them USA sailors.
This caused the “Barbary Wars” in which USA Navy took part to close these slavers down
There is a painting of USS Lexington chasing one of these African pirate ships about 1805.
More white slaves were taken from the North of Europe than all the black slaves taken to the North of America. The Africans were also enslaving whites in the XIX century and they carry on with slavery today.
