In my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, I recount how in July 1625, a twenty-ship contingent of jihadi pirates from Morocco arrived in Mount’s Bay in southern England. Bursting into the local parish church during a service, they captured sixty men, women, and children from the terrified congregation and took them back to Morocco, to live a life of slavery. At Looe, they took eighty more and set the town ablaze. In a series of similar raids, they took two hundred people as slaves and seized twenty-seven British ships as well.
All this is forgotten in England today, where any discussion of the jihad threat will get you charges of “Islamophobia” and “racism.” That’s the value of history: to remind people that people didn’t always think and act the same way, and that the present way they think and act may not be correct or wise, based on past experience. A good history book is like a ticket to a faraway, exotic land — but far cheaper, and generally more enlightening.

Correct. People like myself and many others are ‘aware.’ Very aware !

Save Europe…I’m afraid that just “Being Aware” may not be enough for the British people to be saved from what may be at their front and back doors.
You are being attacked!
But there are no tanks in your streets grinding their tracks through the streets….there is not the drone of aircraft engines overhead dropping bombs on your cities leaving your cities ablaze. There aren’t the stomp of boots in the streets..Citizens aren’t being dragged from their homes and shot, Imprisoned or enslaved….Yet Briton IS under attack as well as the whole of Europe!…..AND THE WORLD STANDS STILL! UNBELIEVABLE!!!

I still have not understood how & why Islam is now the NEW RELIGION of the WEST & why the Governments have embraced this so solidly & tossed Christianity overboard?
Even this demented priest who masquerades as a POPE is PRO ISLAM?
After 1400 years of attacks & crushing defeats Christianity has forgotten its own history in relation to the WARS with ISLAM!
CRUSADES were a reaction to 400 years of attacks against the Middle Eastern Church but now even the Church lists the Crusades as aggression & not the DEFENSIVE ACTION IT WAS!
How can this HORRIFIC tide be beaten back when it is invited in??

Like everyone said, it’s the oil money that gives islam power. If there wasn’t any oil in the Middle East, muslims would all still be desert dwelling nomads. The world would probably use the Middle east as a giant landfill.

Mob law is very dangerous. Look how the judicial system freed the rapists of teen age girls. Dozen of times. Why the families are staying so quiet ? ? ?
Milo says
It is easy to understand when a Madrassa trained puppet was elected President twice. Majority of U.S. Citizens are mentally deficient and easily led to act by their favorite movie star of rap mogul. Media is the least educated of any profession and are easily led by the nose to espouse and support the politics of hate.
Michael Copeland says
Yes. Slaves, underage and female, are entrapped by deception (permitted in Islam) and exploited as money-spinners while being kept in silence by threats of hideous violence (some of them carried out, like the arson house-fire in Telford that killed a girl and her family).
The method is different when the jihadis are living in the same country. They do not have to arrive by sea any more. They are here and round us.
Roger woodhouse says
The british are being bombarded with misinformation and propaganda like never before in their history.Never before has a nation so negligent of its history been duped into accepting in an ideology which is hellbent on destroying it.The British people have over the past 30 years been subjected to a mind numbing desease called liberal socialism .It has taken over the media and our whole education system.Add to this the invasion of Islam which has taken advantage of this crippling deases which has disabled the intelligencier it is now just a matter of time before the nation implodes.There is still a segment of the population which is immune to this scourge.The yeomen of England namely the working man.He alone can and will save this nation when called upon.All that is required the right LEADER.
mortimer says
Roger woodhouse says: “mind-numbing, crippling (mental) disease”.
Total agree. The British Leftards are FANTASIZING a dangerous UTOPIA where Islam will be supreme and CRUSH the Leftards under their boots.
The Leftards think that by destroying free speech, they can rule. WRONG. Islam will rule over the Leftards.
mortimer says
The British Leftards are hypocrites. When their views were not popular, they wanted free speech.
Now that they feel they have a way to destroy pluralism, they want to CRUSH DISSENT so they can rule with the help of Muslims.

The Irish wing of my family comes from Cork. Theoretically it’s possible that I have as much chance of there having been at least one slave in my family’s background as those who are demanding “reparations” from people such as my family. Bit of irony, there. If I lived in Britain I could probably expect a knock on my door in the night and a visit from the “we’re not the thought police” for pointing that out.

I think this bit of history was forgotten long before the political left began its bizarre marriage with Islam, the world’s most ultra-conservative ideology.
I remember how shocked I was to learn a few years ago about the similar attack on Baltimore, Ireland in 1631, when Muslim corsairs captured Christians and took them for slaves. I was always pretty keen on history (although not a History major), and my education was not shaped by politically correct liberals. I finished school before universities became institutions for brainwashing and the creation of narrow-minded snowflakes, brainless SJWs, and outraged little PC Police.

Muhammed Jacob – care to offer some proof for your outlandish conspiracy theory?
Muhammed Jacob says
Yo Arasu,
QUESTION: My rabbi says it is forbidden for Jews to enter a church. But if we can’t participate in interfaith visits, how can we promote understanding between different faiths?
[Answer]:
Rabbi Naftali Brawer
Naftali Brawer is rabbi at Borehamwood and Elstree United Synagogue.
Your rabbi is correct. The rabbinic consensus, based on the Talmud (Avodah Zara 17a,) is that it is forbidden to enter a church, even if just to admire the architecture or artwork. This body of opinion spans the generations and comprises leading medieval Sephardic and Ashkenazi rabbis such as Maimonides, Rashba (Rabbi Solomon ben Aderet), Ritba (Rabbi Yom Tov ibn Asevilli) and Rosh (Rabbi Asher ben Yechiel), as well as contemporary halachists including Rabbis Moshe Feinstien, Ovadia Yosef and Eliezer Waldenberg.
While at first glance this approach appears disrespectful to and even disdainful of other faiths, I believe it reflects just the opposite. Judaism sees faith, any faith, as something very powerful. A Christian house of worship in Jewish eyes is more than just a building. It is a place where Christianity is palpable. It pervades the very walls and space of the church and gives it its unique character. This is no different to how Judaism sees its own faith manifested in the very space of a synagogue.
To a person of faith, this has serious ramifications. One cannot simply enter a church without some aspect of the church entering you. To put it another way: by entering a church, one enters into a Christian religious experience. No matter how subliminal this experience is, it is inconsistent with Jewish faith and practice.
Those who argue that a church is nothing more than a building underestimate the potent atmosphere of a house of worship and, in so doing, they trivialise it.

THE JEWISH PROPHET MOHAMMED
— 622 AD to 632 AD

The Persian conquest of Jerusalem in 614CE compared with Islamic conquest of 638CE.
Signs of the Coming of the “Jewish” Prophet
With the death of Nehemiah ben Hushiel, the Judaic nation tried to grapple with the meaning of these events in terms of their literary heritage. They would come to the Golden Gate to pray. According to Jewish tradition, the Messiah of Joseph would die. So Nehemiah must have been the Messiah of Joseph. This meant that the King Messiah was sure to follow. However, before the King Messiah would appear, he would be preceded by Elijah the Prophet.
Their leaders said
“A Prophet is about to arise;
his time draws near.
We shall follow him;
and then we shall slay [our enemies]
with [divine] slaughter… “.
As the common people became aware of the Prophet, “they spoke one to another — surely know that is the same Prophet whom the Jews [Cohanim, Priests] warns us about.”
Daniel had prophesied that there would be seventy weeks of years until the Temple would be rebuilt. And 490 (70×7) years had passed from the destruction of Bar Kochba’s armies until this year (622 CE).
Bar Kochba was a failed Messiah, now would come the true warrior Messiah.
“A warrior with ‘the helmet of deliverance on His head’ and clad in armor”. “He will don garments of vengeance (as his) clothing and will put on a cloak of zealousness”. “He will fight the battle of Gog ha-Magog and against the army of Armilos (Heraclius)”.
Although rare, even in Arabia, parents hoping that their child might be this Messiah might name him after Daniel, Ish hamudot, Man of Delights — Muhamud.

The Islamic slave trade captured and killed more African slaves over a much longer period than did the Atlantic slave trade. Muslims also captured and enslaved over a million Europeans, though the average person today knows nothing about that.

It’s too late for England. The U.S. should pull out all nukes and bases and accept that the U.K. is lost. Protect our resources until they can be redeployed. Same with France and Germany. Cancel all NATO agreements also with France and Germany.
That should wake them up.
Savvy Kafir says
No! It’s not too late for Britain — or for any other European country. All of Europe can still be reclaimed from the Muslim colonizers.
The native British still massively outnumber Muslims in the U.K. What needs to happen is for more British people to be educated regarding Islam and the threat posed by the Demographic Jihad — and for Islam-savvy people to take control of the British government.

Now they are more ambitious, they want to enslave all of Europe under Shariat.
one of the most famous slave raids wasThe Sack of Baltimore took place on June 20, 1631, when the village of Baltimore, West Cork, Ireland, was attacked by the Ottoman Algeria and Republic of Salé slavers from the Barbary Coast of North Africa – Moroccans, Dutchmen, Algerians and Ottoman Turks. The attack was the largest by Barbary pirates on either Ireland or Great Britain.[1]
The attack was led by a Dutch captain, Jan Janszoon van Haarlem, also known as Murad Reis the Younger. No doubt a convert to Islam.
They captured 107 villagers, mostly English settlers along with some local Irish people (some reports put the number as high as 237[3]). The attack was focused on the area of the village known to this day as the Cove. The villagers were put in irons and taken to a life of slavery in North Africa.
Aftermath[edit]
Some prisoners were destined to live out their days as galley slaves, rowing for decades without ever setting foot on shore[4] while others would spend long years in harem or as laborers. At most three of them ever saw Ireland.[1] One was ransomed almost at once and two others in 1646.
In the aftermath of the raid, the remaining settlers moved to Skibbereen, and Baltimore was virtually deserted for generations.

Here’s a 45 minute crash course of the history of imperialistic jihadi conquests of Islam and why the West should repel every encroachment of Islam into the West including migration of any so-called “refugees.” You can’t give Muslims any benefit of the doubt and waste time considering if any particular Muslim in their heart is “peaceful” or an enemy “jihadist.” If they are Muslim, they are automatically jihadists since they identify with and, assist the implantation of Islam in the West to accomplish civilization jihad. There is no “benign” form of Islam even it there are “benign” Muslims. It’s a deception (taqiyya) to make the kuffars think that there is some form of Islam that is “tolerable” and could coexist w/ Western concepts of freedom. The more Muslims that congregate, the more “Islamic” that community inevitably becomes regardless of the intentions of any “benign” Muslims among them. They too will also get killed in the end along w/ the kuffars if they don’t follow the dictates of the Prophet. Any Muslim who wants to live in the West must become an apostate…unequivocally.

Slavery is a heinous part of Islam is a topic that the apologists for that religion don’t like have people bring up .Nevertheless one writer revealed that “The senior clerics of Saudi Arabia’s highest body declared “Slavery is part of Islam and whoever wants it abolished is an infidel.” [1] Likewise, a former Muslim had exposed in his book that “Slavery is recognized as an institution and slave is considered both a thing as a person.” [2] In addition, two Christian writers in their book had also informs their readers that “Islam has enslaved more people than any other culture.” [3] Therefore Islam regardless of what the apologist for this religion do claim has not regard for human rights

JohnJJJ says
The word ‘pirate’ is a misnomer for many of these attacks. ‘Pirate’ implies stateless and independent groups of men i.e. lawless. Most attacks were directed by the state at the time. The famous attacks from Tripoli/Morocco/Algeria in the late 1700’s were directed by their governments and paid taxes back to the government. The word ‘pirate’ describes them by their actions and result, but not their intention, authority or command. It disguises the Jihadi nature of it all. When the new USA government correctly described these Jihadis they defeated them.
The West is doing exactly the same with the word ‘terrorist’.
OP says
You forgot to mention that most of these North African slave raiders that terrorized European shores for more than 1,000 years were blacks. In other words, blacks took far more white European slaves under the guise of Islamic Sharia than was ever shipped to America. Yet no one in Europe is moaning about being victims. No plaque or memorial exist for these millions of people captured by Muslims and blacks into slavery.
