Why not? Slavery is acceptable in Islam. The Qur’an has Allah telling Muhammad that he has given him girls as sex slaves: “Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom God has given you as booty.” (Qur’an 33:50) Muhammad bought slaves: “Jabir (Allah […]
It is Antisemitism That Sustains, In Defiance of the Evidence, the Belief that ‘Jews Financed the Slave Trade’
Is it true that “the Jews financed the [Atlantic] slave trade”? Lauren Deutsch looked into the matter: “Jews Did Not Finance the Slave Trade; Here Is the Proof,” by Lauren Deutsch, Algemeiner, December 13, 2023: …to the extent that Jewish people were involved in the transatlantic slave trade, it was not only in finance, and […]
Jews Did Not Finance the Atlantic Slave Trade
One of the calumnies directed at Jews — there are so many to choose from — is that “the Jews financed the [Atlantic] slave trade.” This is one of the staples, for example, in the writings and speeches by the dementedly antisemitic Louis Farrakhan. At a public meeting of parents in Rochester, New York, a […]
Sudan: Mass rapes and at least 20 women and girls ‘abducted and held in inhuman, degrading slave-like conditions’
We have seen Nigerian jihadis kidnap and rape women. We have seen the Islamic State jihadis kidnap and rape women. And now we see Sudanese jihadis kidnap and rape women. No one seems to notice, but this is a common theme when jihadis conduct raids. What, oh what, could be the unifying factor? “UN condemns […]
Islamic State: ‘As for virgins, there is nothing wrong with marrying them and owning them’
Where did the Islamic State (ISIS) get this idea? Surely they’re misunderstanding Islam, right? Wrong. The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). “Anti-Islamic State (ISIS) Outlet Publishes ISIS Internal Document Discussing […]
Germany: Islamic State bride jailed 14 years over death and torture of 5-year-old Yazidi slave girl in Iraq
Islamic State brides are often as culpable as their jihadist husbands, and driven by the same doctrine, which instructs such actions as beheadings, abuse of infidels, and sex slavery. Many Islamic State brides continue to raise their children in the way of jihad. Some Islamic State brides are active on social media and open about their […]
Revisiting Rutgers Professor Brittney Cooper’s Claim That Whites Were the Only Slavers
Among the crazed claims made by anti-white racists is that only whites engaged in the slave trade. The greatest slavers in human history have been not white Europeans or Americans, but Muslim Arabs who carried out slaving raids up and down the coasts of Europe, enslaved Christians in Spain and North Africa, took Slavs from […]
What Barack Obama Doesn’t Know About Islam, Slavery, and Black Africans
Barack Obama clearly had no idea, when he made his Cairo speech, of how Muslim Arabs regarded black Africans; I doubt if he has learned more about it since. The Arabs regarded the black Africans with contempt. In the Hadith of al-Bukhari, we find the remarkable statement that “Anyone who says that the Prophet is […]
Germany: Islamic State bride sentenced to 9 years for keeping Yazidi slave in Iraq
Islamic State (ISIS) brides are often as dangerous as their male counterparts, or even more so, since they have manage to fool too many infidels into perceiving them as the victims. Many have brutalized and enslaved people, and even served as accessories to their husband’s brutal rapes of infidel women. Then they deceive infidels after […]
Georgetown professor Jonathan Brown again justifies Islam’s acceptance of slavery
“I’m not going to say that the Quran allows something evil” or that Islam’s prophet Muhammad “did something morally evil” declared Jonathan Brown, the Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Chair of Islamic Studies at Georgetown University during an April 26 webinar. Brown’s zealotry highlighted his disturbing views on Islam and slavery, which caused a storm of criticism in 2017 when […]
