Mr F Middleton says
When ‘Malcolm X’ visited Mecca, slavery was still legal in Saudi Arabia. Did he know, did he care? Now black slaves are sold again in Libya, do Obama or Hilary care? Christians and Yazidis are sold in Ankara, I’ve heard, will Senator McCain get his friends in Free Syrian Army to do anything about it?
gravenimage says
Not quite–Malcolm X went to Mecca in 1964, and slavery was–on paper, anyway–ended in Saudi Arabia in 1962.
But for him to embrace a creed that was openly holding slave auctions in its capital city two years before is utterly insane.
mortimer says
Agree with GI. I read somewhere that Malcolm X found black eunuchs at the two sacred mosques and complained. As a result, Soddy Barbaria removed the black eunuchs and slavery was officially though no unofficially banned. Years later, an ad was seen in a Soddy newspaper requesting the exchange of a black slave for a good used car .
gravenimage says
Mortimer, slavery in Saudi Arabia was–on paper, at least–banned two years before Malcolm X went on the Hadj:
“Among the last states to abolish slavery were Saudi Arabia and Yemen, which abolished slavery in 1962 under pressure from Britain; Oman in 1970, and Mauritania in 1905, 1981, and again in August 2007.” (of course, this last is especially perverse).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery_in_the_Muslim_world
Re Malcolm X going on Hadj:
“In April 1964, with financial help from his half-sister Ella Little-Collins, Malcolm X flew to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as the start of his Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca obligatory for every Muslim who is able to do so.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_X#Pilgrimage_to_Mecca
I read Malcolm X’s autobiography years ago, and can’t recall his ever mentioning the Muslim slave trade, let alone his criticizing slavery in Dar-al-Islam.
It was Britain that pressured Saudi Arabia to end slavery, not Malcolm X.
MFritz says
Saudi Arabia “officially” abolished slavery in 1963. (Sexual slavery is a whole different story with lots of complaints from foreigners working there over the years.)
And places like Somalia or Sudan or any of the ISIS-dominated hellholes will still have it to this very day.

Yes many Philippinos working in SA as servants are regularly raped and abused.
Walter Sieruk says
The founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad, who all Muslim admire and look up to as an example to follow had slaves, including Black slaves. For example, in the book written by two Christian authors, Craig A. Even and Jeremiah J. Johnston which is entitled JESUS AND THE JIHADIS This book exposes on page 124 that “Muhammad endorsed enslavement of all types : he own two ‘Black slaves.’” The very nest page also reveals that “Islam has enslaved more people than any other culture.”
Richard says
As I understand it, Mohammed’s first disciple, whose name I believe was Ali, was his slave. I imagine the boxer Mohammed Ali understood this when he converted to Islam and made that is name.
gravenimage says
Richard, Ali became Muhammed’s son-in-law after marrying his daughter Fatima. He is sometimes cited as the first to accept Islam. He was not Black though, and not Muhammed’s slave.
Bilal was a Black slave–although not a slave of Muhammed’s. He supposedly became the first Muezzin.
Vann Boseman says
The slave trade of black people in Africa to Muslim masters, especially the sort of race based slavery of the Arab Muslims, was hobbled and greatly slowed. It never ended though. John Azuma’s book on this is great. There are a lot of “bad” hadiths that support a racist view of black people by Arabs and a few “good” ones. Whether bad or good, a lot of support was given to ideas perceiving blacks as inferior to Arabs over the centuries. While the Arab-Islamic slave trade as it was historically pursued may not have been technically proper Islam most ot the time, it can not be ignored that racist based slavery or the widespread racist attitudes of Arabs towards blacks has existed more than 4 times as long as the United States has existed as a country, perhaps closer to 5 times.Becoming knowledgeable concerning this will not tend to put money into the pockets of black Americans. Acknowledging this will not promote Arab-Islam. Acknowledging this will not promote Islam in African countries.
Of course there is the whole other non-racist slave trade too that should not be forgotten.

CRUSADER says
Indeed, the Arabic word ‘Abd means slave.
Slave as a word comes from the Slavic peoples who were subjugated by invaders over centuries, including Moslem marauders and occupiers of Slavic regions. Caliphs and emirs and pashas desired different colors, races, etc of slaves for their various pleasuring.
Black people are called abeed, plural of “slave”. Arabs have called the dark Africans “raisin heads”.
—————-Not to put him in the same thought bubble as all of this, as esteemed as he is, but:
Dennis Prager has some recent thought about how Judaism / Ten Commandments set forth the better treatment of slaves, which were a globally widespread social-economical institution. Deep stuff.
““““““““““““
Sayyid Qutb, the Islamist connected to the Muslim Brotherhood:
“…concerning slavery, that was when slavery was a world-wide structure and which was conducted amongst Muslims and their enemies in the form of enslaving of prisoners of war. And it was necessary for Islam to adopt a similar line of practise until the world devised a new code of practise during war other
than enslavement”
!!!!
So…if that is so, maybe then Islam CAN change its conduct according to civilized laws set up by the West and in accordance with international decency codes.
Maybe the reformers of Islam (like Dr Jasser or Irshad Manji) have a point to follow, after all…
Will anyone follow them any further?
????

Aaaaw, sounds like those naughty other devils made Qutb’s innocent little muzzies do it!! Funny how very, very well the practice stuck however!! Typical shameless whitewashing while smearing themselves on others.
DHazard says
From the Global Slavery Index 2016:
“The countries with the lowest estimated prevalence of modern slavery by the proportion of their population are Luxembourg, Ireland, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden and Belgium, the United States and Canada, and Australia and New Zealand.”
me: notice something in common among these countries? If I tell you that will make me a racist and an Islamophobe.
“58% Of those living in slavery are in 5 countries
India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan”
me: China and India are at the top because of their enormous populations but the last three are Muslim dominant countries with much lower populations. The survey does not look at religion or race.
From a Huffington Post article “Slavery in Africa Is Alive, Well and Ignored” from 2014:
“Simon Aban Deng is a Sudanese human rights activist living in the United States. A native of the Shilluk Kingdom in southern Sudan, Deng spent several years as a child domestic slave in northern Sudan. At nine he had been taken to Northern Sudan by Abdullahi, an Arab neighbour, enslaved for three and a half years by Abdullahi’s family. He was beaten, worked constantly, slept with the animals and ate leftovers.”
“In 2011 Deng went to the third Durban Conference that took place in New York to bring the travesty against his people to the public. His anger was directed at the UN for ignoring the plight of his people while concentrating all their energy on Palestinian refugees.”
“Jok Madut Jok in his book War and Slavery in Sudan goes against conventional wisdom and says that the practice of slavery in Sudan is not the result of civil war, or over natural resources, but rather the result of hostilities between the Islamic world to the north and the Black African peoples in the south, many of whom are Christian converts.”The Arab slave-takers pick their victims based on race, ethnicity and religion and consider the blacks in the South to be inferior infidels.”
“That door was opened in the early 90s in Sudan by what Deng calls the Khartoum jihad that legitimized slaves as WAR BOOTY. (me: straight from the Quran and a practice made Halal by Muhammad)”
The writer of the article, Diane Weber Bederman, says:
“According to Deng the UN was well aware of the enslavement of South Sudanese by the Arabs.”
“We seem to be choosing to ignore the many who suffer at the hands of Arab/Muslims. Deng has shared his concerns about the West abandoning the “victims of Arab/Islamic apartheid.” Is it fear of accusations of Islamophobia?”
“He (Deng) pointed out that for more than 50 years, 82 per cent of the UN General Assembly emergency meetings have been about condemning one state — Israel, leaving his people to fend for themselves.”
me: The UN and liberals love Muslims and hate Jews. The “established” media doesn’t care about the suffering caused by Muslims and will never find anything in Islam that inspires Muslims to take slaves.
CRUSADER says
Thanks for the article reference: “Slavery in Africa Is Alive, Well and Ignored”
I was able to review by finding the link.
Dang! Interesting speech by Deng.

Yes–and Simon Deng–who was himself enslaved by Muslims–has worked with Robert Spencer.

And this leaves out Mauritania, where a full 17% of the population is enslaved.

Glazov Gang: Racist Muslims’ Black Slaves in Sudan and Mauritania
……………………..
Good piece and very important points. Islam still enslaves Black people–that it is presented as an antidote to residual racism in the West is simply grotesque.
tgusa says
US Blacks vote overwhelmingly for a party that appears to have no problem with this. When was the first and last time you ever heard that party, that claims to be at the helm of civil rights issues, say or do anything about this problem? Never is the answer. Its as if US blacks are on a plantation with a master telling them what to do or not do. That party is responsible for the resurgence of slave markets in Libya. That party cannot criticize the muslim slavers because they support islam and believe that muslims are victims of all the worlds phobes. But of course, any who are not in that party are racists!
I heard that someone was trying to get a movement started among US blacks and their party to confront this horror in Africa. Unfortunately, when approached, I believe they took a knee.
maghan says
Yes, it is the cruel culture of Islam that causes people to see nothing wrong with slavery. In Mauritania, persons who oppose slavery have been imprisoned and are seen as anti-Islamic.
Islam has infected most of Africa north of the Equator and left its victims servile slaves of Arab Islam. For most African slave Muslims, the most important thing in their lives would be to spend big money flying over to Mecca for the Hajj and gaining the title of Al Haj. But in reality, it is no more than a servile genuflection before Arab cultural imperialism–in its Empire headquarters.
Kepha says
Islam in Africa abolished slavery only at the points of Western imperialists’ bayonets and maxim guns. With the withdrawal of the West, African Islam reverts to its own authentic traditions. Fans of the despicable mountebank Malcolm X, are you listening?
Carolyne says
When we say that Mohammed held slaves, we must remember that Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Patrick Henry, etc. were slave holders. Many of our forefathers freed their slaves upon their death, but Thomas Jefferson did not. Some were freed and some passed on to his daughter. I do not believe these slaves were mistreated, but the fact remains that they were slaves. Some of Thomas Jefferson’s children were his slaves, their mother being a slave, Sally Hemmings, who was likely the daughter of his father-in-law, His wife Martha’s father and therefore his wife’s half-sister.
Of course we fought a war, not specifically to free slaves, but to hold the union together. The side effect of this war freed the slaves. . Many Americans, both black and white died in this war. Great sacrifices were made. I am in no way comparing Jefferson to Mohammed, but I am pointing out that at different times, different people had different mores. I don’t believe Mohammed had any morals at all. Slavery persists to this day in Islamic cultures.
And yet, African-Americans in the US don’t seem to care about this fact.
Vann Boseman says
Jefferson’s political ideology and his actions were ambiguous. There was nothing ambiguous about 1400 years of slaving by Islam There are VAST differences in scale, years of slave trading, and the sanctions of it. During the history of mankind, slavery has been a part of all races, cultures, and religions. Probably the worst comparison of all the people who have owned slaves throughout recorded history would be Mohammed and Jefferson.
Carol says
Wikipedia seems to differ – Jefferson may have been the father of six children with Sally Hemmings. Only four survived to adulthood and they were freed by him.
tgusa says
I am a descendant of a man who as a rifleman fought through the entire Revolutionary war. He didn’t own slaves so there were no slaves to free at the end of his long life. I am also a descendant of men who as riflemen fought on both sides through the entire Civil war. Because of that I understand each mans distinct perspective on why they fought. No slaves to free after that one either. The one thing I take away from all of that is, they survived, and so I am here. I owe them, they fought for what they believed in, I will never betray or forget that.
Eric jones says
This video is very timely. We now know that there are open slave markets in Libya where Black people are sold. No one in the Black press or the Congressional Black Caucus raises any concern about this. They are too busy supporting the Democratic Party leadership.
