Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

“Sacrifice black Muslim slaves went through in this country is nothing compared to Islamophobia today”

Dec 28, 2016 9:48 am By Robert Spencer

Apparently this wildly preposterous and hysterical bit of victimhood-claiming was spoken by the notorious hateful Muslim activist Linda Sarsour at the MAS-ICNA convention — that is, the convention of the Muslim American Society and Islamic Circle of North America. The Chicago Tribune reported back in 2004 that “in recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation’s major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members.” In a validation of the accuracy of this report, it is now carried on the Muslim Brotherhood’s English-language website, Ikhwanweb.)

The links between MAS and Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood are not simply the conjectures of “right-wing” counter-jihad activists. A Muslim scholar, al-Husein Madhany, wrote this in a 2010 email to fellow Muslim and Leftist activists: “When I said that I believe MAS halaqas [religious meetings] to be a national security threat, it was only part in jest. My caution comes from what I have personally heard said at MAS halaqas during my time in graduate school and based on what I know about their ideological (but financial) ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.

    The success of Muhammadan Islam in DECEIVING, MISINFORMING, DEFORMING and CONTORTING both History & Reality over a period of almost 1400 years has been ASTOUNDING. That is, until NOW.

    Every Muslim Arab (Linda Sarsour for example) maliciously deceives his audience both Black and others by implicating ONLY White Christians for the American Black slaves while completely ignoring the FACT that it was entirely Arabs and Blak converts to Islam who caused the death and destruction of 140,000,000 Africans to sell 14,000,000 to the Americas

    The greatest tragedy about this particular subject, is that most of the descendants of African Slavery, the Black People in the Americas, around the world as well as among the African Blacks, are totally IGNORANT of the actual facts.

    Before we loose the concentration of the readers, I would like to make the following statement :

    That the worst, most inhumane and most diabolical institution of the BLACK AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE, was initiated, refined, perpetrated and implemented by the Muhammadan Arabs and later aided and abetted by the Black converts to Muhammadan Islam.

    I predict that as usual, the two Sub Cultures, those of: DENIAL of FACTS & of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS will attack us without ONCE DISPROVING a SINGLE statement and or conclusion that I make.

    Slavery was NOT created by the White races, because it has existed throughout human history and practiced by EVERY tribe, culture, civilization, racial group and religion.

    In fact, the very word SLAVERY has its root in the name SLAV based upon the SLAVIC peoples of Europe who were subjugated by other Europeans.

    It is not common knowledge that the Arabic word ‘ABD’ is synonymous with the meaning of SLAVE; For example, Abd Allah means literally the Slave of Allah and that in the language of the Arabs,

    ALL BLACK PEOPLES ARE CALLED ‘ABEED’ PLURAL FOR ‘SLAVES’.

    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.

    While the European involvement in the African Trans Atlantic slave trade to the Americas lasted for just over three centuries, the Arab involvement in the African slave trade has lasted fourteen centuries, and in some parts of the Muhammadan world is still continuing to this day.

    The birth of Muhammadan Islam and its conquests, brought about the birth of INSTITUTIONALIZED, SYSTEMATIZED and RELIGIOUSLY SANCTIONED SLAVE TRADE, on a MASSIVE & GLOBAL SCALE.

    In fact, the Quran allows the taking of slaves as ‘booty’, or ‘reward’ for wars of aggression against any and all UNBELIEVERS (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 are primarily to plunder, slaughter, rape, subjugate and rob other human beings of their wealth, produce, freedom and dignity.

    Muhammadan Muslim states and tribes, attacked other non-Muslim groups to achieve these objectives. Although Islamic jurisprudence laid down regulations for the treatment of slaves; however, incredible and heinous abuses have occurred throughout the history of Muhammadan Islam.

    By the Middle Ages, the Arabic word “abd” was in general use to denote a black slave while the word “mamluk” referred to a white slave.

    Ibn Khaldun (1332 – 1406) the pre-eminent 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 had an ungovernable sexual appetite.”

    There are a lot more paragraphs to add, but these are sufficient for a start

      These are facts most have not been exposed to– not in secondary school and not in any kind of “exploration” of current events (with the exception of blogs such as this).
      I know many intelligent people who repeat pro-Mohammeden lies as if they were facts; and yes, who blame whites and Christians for the ills of the world.

    Muslims have captured a lot of white Christian slaves in Bulgaria and Greece and sold them in that part of the word. It is totally unfair the blame the victims, but muslims do it all the time.

    Muslims controlled the black African slave trade and were by some estimates responsible for the slaughter of ca. 120 million black Africans since the 7th century. To equate the suffering of Africans at the hands of Muslims and Europeans to the few cases of anti-Muslim hate crimes (the non-fabricated ones, of course) is absurd. Unless, of course, Muslims so devalue the lives of infidel black Africans and their descendants that one Muslim (member of the supposedly new and superior race of homo sapien islamicus?) is worth a million black infidels or more.

    Ibn Khaldun, the second most important Muslim after Muhammad, stated this:

    The only people who accept slavery are the Negroes, owing to their low degree of humanity and proximity to the animal stage. Other persons who accept the status of slave do so as a means of attaining high rank, or power, or wealth, as is the case with the Mameluke Turks in the East and with those Franks and Galicians who enter the service of the state [in Andalusia].

      My immediate response to this, having done a fair amount of reading about both the African slave trade and islam is “what black muslim slaves?”.

      In sub Saharan Africa arabic names like, for example, “Barack Hussein Obama” are certain indicators of muslim slavers, who were forbidden to take fellow muslims as slaves, or to sell them.

      In fact, according to strict sharia law, a way for a slave of muslims to get out of that slavery is to become a muslim. This got ignored a lot of the time because otherwise the muslims had no workforce as so many slaves submitted to get out of slavery.

      So if there were any black muslim slaves in the Americas, anywhere in the Americas, they would have been very, very few and far between as the slave trade in West Africa was controlled by muslims.

    Black people who have not done so should read the history of African slavery please. Yes, Europeans trafficked with slaves, yes, European settlers in America used slave labor … horrible, unjust, inhuman.
    Now … let’s look at the history of a country like Gambia, now it is an Islamic republic, the Arabs created a huge slave market in that place, that way the history of Gambia begins … and they did the same with all the Black Africa that they could dominate, throughout the Maghreb there were slave markets. When the Europeans came to Africa to colonize it, the Arabs had practiced slavery for centuries, the Arabs traded with the slaves, hunted entire tribes and sold them to Europeans on the coast. The Arabs also did it with the Europeans while they could … until the nineteenth century and all justified by the Koran and Sunnah. The colonization of Africa and the slave trade by the Europeans has no Christian basis, the one made by the Arabs has Islamic justification.
    What makes isis is the same thing that the kalifas, sultans, sheikhs did … it has always been that way. To this day the black people who come to Europe have to cross the Maghreb … they are treated as scum by the Arab descendants of the slave traders. They have not changed. Once in Europe the Arabs try to lure black Africans into traditional Sunni Islam … hypocrites.

    Muslim slaves, or slaves of the Muslims rounded up for the white slavers by the Muslim slavers? Take your pick.

    The cockroach is perpetuating the falsehood that African slaves in America were mostly muslims when, in fact, they were mostly non-muslims and captured by Arab and Black muslim slavers and traders. Of course, even things were as she claims, it’s still a load of IQ-dropping hogwash – muslims in the US, black or otherwise, aren’t being violently forced to perform heavy physical labour or deprived of their freedoms and systematically and institutionally discriminated against in public life. The same can’t be said of non-muslims in muslim majority countries though.

    Groups like “Black Lives Matter” – or, you know, actual civil rights movements – should be shocked and horrified by this cynical attempt to profit from the suffering actual slaves went through 200+ years ago, and they should be the first ones to speak against it and distance themselves from what Linda Sarsour – who, BTW, is as black as rice with mayo in a snowstorm on the Antarctic – is trying to peddle.

    “Islamophobes.” What nonsense. The reality is that up
    to this point, Islam has enjoyed a free pass from our political leaders and the MSM. “Anti-Muslim hate crimes” are so non-existent that young Muslim women have to make them up.

    I’m just so sick of hearing that any open and honest discussion about what Islam actually teaches is “Islamophobia.”

    Hey Linda, what’s body count in the US from Islamic terrorism vs. “Islamophobia?”

    Did they really just say that Muslims have it harder today than black slaves? Or do I have it backwards.

    Not surprising really. Trying to gain victim points by putting down people who they enslaved, or have no problem with enslaving.

    (even if the American slaves had nothing to do with Arab slave trade, Arab Muslims were enslaving other blacks at the very same time)

      Foul apologist for Muslim savagery ibrahim itace muhammed wrote:

      low (sic) iq (sic) al rasooli,you (sic) are liar and deceiver of this century.
      ……………………………..

      What did IQ al Rasooli say that was incorrect? Note that muhammed cannot actually name a single point.

      More;

      so, (sic) you are trying to justify those horrible treatments of black slaves by wicked mithraist (sic) christian (sic) missionaries during that savage transatlantic slave trade
      ……………………………..

      Actually, no he didn’t. He just noted the Muslim role in this atrocity. And Christian missionaries had nothing to do with the slave trade, although individual Christians did.

      More;

      ,shifting the blame to muslims, (sic) because you are son of prostitute?the (sic) blame cannot be shifted.historical (sic) documents are there.you cannot alter them.
      ……………………………..

      Well, that’s the whole point–the historical documents apply prove that Muslims were the driving force in the African slave trade, which much predated the transatlantic slave trade, and survived its abolition, and which exists to this very day.

      muhammed witlessly insulting this poster’s parentage does not change that.

      More:

      your (sic) evil christian (sic) parents transported black slaves on cargoes like chattels through atlantic (sic) oceans.those found sick or old unfit for hardlabor (sic) were thrown into deep water and eatened (sic) by sharks.those (sic) able-bodied men brought to christian (sic) west were used for hard labor and females as sex slaves.when (sic) they became old and no more able to work to keystart (sic) industrial revolution were killed.thus, filthy christians (sic) and jews (sic) are worst of mankind.
      ……………………………..

      Where to start with this mess? Firstly, I don’t know whether IQ al Rasooli is Christian or not; I don’t believe that he has ever said. Then, he was born in Iraq–is muhammed claiming that Iraqis were involved in the transatlantic slave trade? Really, his ignorance is utterly shocking.

      Then–as noted scores of times at this point–it was the West that *abolished* slavery. We fully acknowledge its evils (although muhammed’s claim that older slaves were killed is utterly false).

      The Abolition movement began in Britain, and we Americans fought a wrenching civil war to end the practice here.

      Whereas, muhammed himself has lauded slavery in Islam–apparently he does not think that this makes Muslims the worst of mankind–he leaves that label for those who have bravely *ended* slavery.

      And his reference to the Industrial Revolution could not be more absurd–the Industrial Revolution began in England and Germany, and developed in the Northern United States–all places that, quite notably, did *not* practice slavery.

      Far from slavery ‘keystarting’ the Industrial Revolution, it retarded industrial and technological innovation. It is only in the last century that the American South began to catch up to the rest of the nation in these fields.

      This is always the case with the practice of slavery–and is a not inconsiderable reason why Dar-al-Islam lags so notably behind the civilized world.

        Thank you gravenimage for answering this utterly STUPID Muslim cretin on my behalf

        As with their DEPRAVED mentor Muhammad bin abd Allah 1400 years ago not a SINGLE Muslim would ever admit FAULT!

        $100,000 says that no Muslim can use RATIONAL thinking when addressing the subjects of Religion, History and Politics

        Because they truly believe that Muhammad’s Quran contains ALL knowledge, Muslims (1,500,000,000) are the LEAST Productive Inventive and Creative in human history

        Ibrahim is just another Muslim imbecile attempting to defend the most dastardly and indefensible CULT belief system called Islam and FAILS every time

        2017 will hopefully bring about TSUNAMIC changes in Europe leading to the cleansing of the continent from Muslims

    Actually, there were virtually no Black slaves who were Muslim, because Muslim slave traders typically victimized Infidels.

    And “Islamophobia” is fictive–and to claim this is worse than slavery is simply grotesque.

    Dec 29, 2016 at 12:44 am

    Not so unveiled purpose of such an obviously outlandish statement is to cast Islam as just as “endemic” to America and its history as Christianity, and thus it can lay equal claim to the country. Remember Barack Hussein Obama’s disingenuous statement that Islam has always belonged to America. Never mind that those slaves who were Muslim were often coerced into conversion to Islam before being sold by their Mohammedan masters, who often castrated the ones unlucky enough to be enslaved in Arabia. In due time, American muslims will be demanding that all non-muslims vacate or stop development on historical muslim land (all of US) just like they’re doing to Jews in Israel. The UN, if it’s still around (NOT), can then insist on a 2 state solution (surrender). Mount Rushmore will be deemed a Muslim holy site, off limits to infidels.

    The issue of discrimination centers on the identification of infidelophobia the Muslims practice. Dont’ want to be discriminated against? Then don’t discriminate.
