Jihad Watch

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

German-Egyptian scholar: Muslims “enslaved the Africans more than any other nation did”

Aug 25, 2018 6:45 pm By Robert Spencer

Hamed Abdul-Samad is right. Slavery is commonplace in Islamic history. Generally there were throughout history Muslim believers who believed themselves entitled to enslave non-Muslims, and did so, as I show in detail in my book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS.

“German-Egyptian Scholar Hamed Abdel-Samad: The Arabs Enslaved the Africans More Than Any Other Nation Did,” MEMRI, May 27, 2018:

German Egyptian scholar Hamed Abdel-Samad dedicated an episode of his Box of Islam show to slavery in Islam. Abdel-Samad said that 29 verses in the Quran endorse slavery and that “the Arabs enslaved the Africans more than any other nation did.” He added that while Abraham Lincoln led an army of white men to fight other white men in order to liberate slaves, but no similar initiative was taken by Muslims. The show aired on May 27.

    What threats has he received for telling the truth?

      Mr. Abdel Samad received countless death threats and needs 24/7 security.

        Grimly true. This Muslim apostate is a very brave man.

          Yes he is. I’ve seen other video of him airing other unpopular truth about Islam. His life must be in danger.

        The well-known Al-Azar University has even issued a fatwa against him, requesting other Muslims to kill him for apostasy.

        • J D S says

          Aug 26, 2018 at 5:59 pm

          If the apostasy law had been thrown out Islam would have died long ago.

    North, west and some East Africa countries are muslims because it was the first place in Africa where slavery started.

    More blacks were/are killed by Arab muslims than all others continent combine.

      I lived in moderate Islamic countries for several years. Very young girls, many barely older than ten, are still working as domestic servants. They work very long hours and sleep on straw mats on the kitchen floor.
      People claim to support poor families by taking their kids as cheap servants.

    That white devil Lincoln thwarted the will of Allah, didn’t he? Well no wonder he died. Can’t the damned kafirs read? They benefitted from slavery per Allah’s order for a mere century and then rejected it with a fierce and bloody war, now Muslims are dying to reestablish the Prophet’s institutions in Libya and Mauritania and there is no Caliph in Istanbul to protect Allah’s institutions or the central slave market of the world, it’s all drowned in tides of occidental apostasy and perfidy. Muslims come to Allah and fight to reinstate the orders of the Prophet!

    The first slaves were brought to America in 1619. This was about nine hundred years after Muslims began engaging in the African slave trade.

      Is Alcindor the guy known as Kareem abdul Jamal (or whatever?). If so, he needs to know about this. I heard Kareem on TV about 2 years ago say he adopted islam because the ties of slavery and Christianity bothered him. What a hypocrite.

      Cassius Marcellus Clay was a staunch abolitionist who influenced Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.

      Mohammed Ali, ruler of Egypt, was probably the largest slave owner in history.

    Let us not forget the estimated one million or more Europeans and Americans taken as slaves as well. Many, many thousands ended up as galley slaves. Not a pleasant experience. It seems that Americans are not the only ones getting filtered history and dummed down. Africa and Europe are rushing headlong right back into slavery.

    China and Russia need to wake up and realize that while the Western countries are their competitors, we are not their enemies. The very people they seem to be courting these days despise them and will do anything possible to destroy China and Russia.

    • No Sharia says

      It was far far more than 1 million. Records in Poland shows that over 3 million in that country alone got captured into slavery on muslim slave raids. I would not be surprised if the figure would be closer to 50 million or more considering Europeans were targets of muslim and black african slave raids for more than 1000 years.

      • Guy Forester says

        Aug 26, 2018 at 12:29 pm

        From what I have come across over the years, Europeans themselves may have sold each other off into muslim slavery when they had wars to see who was king of the hill. Poor Poland really got caught between various warring factions. Is it any wonder that Poland, Hungary, the Czechs, and some of their other neighbors are fighting the current invasion of Europe?

        • OP says

          Aug 26, 2018 at 10:13 pm

          No, they didn’t but Europe was not united and therefore regions victimized by Islam suffered greatly while they should have united to fight them together. Islam was never viewed as a friend in trade in Europe. They came at night raiding and attacking.

  7. OP says

    Aug 26, 2018 at 2:47 am

    Many people in the US, and even in Europe, forget that Europeans got attacked, ambushed, raped and captured into slavery less than 150 years ago by black Africans and Muslims dedicated to Islam. MILLIONS of people got enslaved in Europe over a 1,000 year period by muslims and many of them black Africans once Islam hijacked the African nations and declared slavery a law under Sharia. The Europeans struggled for that entire 1,000 years to rid the world of slavery. It was perhaps due to their own brutal victimization for centuries which made them less sympathetic towards Africans once they became enslaved. In spite of that, it’s Europeans who ended the African slave trade, not the Africans themselves nor the muslims.

    Islam needs to be exposed over and over again. Sadly the MSM, Hollywood and the education system do all they can to stop this from happening. Thank God for sites like Jihad watch and other sites that put the truth out there. My biggest fear is the shutdown of free speech before more people learn the truth.

    The internet is now a tool of the globalist and they are the ones who feed “their” googled information to the masses. This is scary stuff.

    Hamed Abdel Samad wrote a good book on Islam called Islamic Fascism comparing Islam to 20 century Hitler Fascism in Europe to Islam .He speaks at least five languages including German, English, Japanese ancient Arabic ,modern Arabic and Egyptian. He was raise by his family in Egypt to be an Iman ,so he knows all the Holy books and can read them in the original languages .He is hated and hunt by Islamics because of his books, and internet shows on showing Islam in its true light. He became a German citizen and has live in Germany and Japan a good man fighting the good fight.

    Yes, that German-Egyptian scholar is 100% right in that statement of his. The following information is also very also relevant to his claim, and a very valid and true claim it is.

    On the topic of the real spirit of Islam toward black people, two Christians who are also authors revealed in the book about the prophet and founder of Islam, Muhammad, the person who all Muslims greatly admire and view and a perfect example for them to emulate was man that “He personally owned two ‘black slave…he endorsed sex slavery as a gift from Allah.. In the every next page of that same book I also informs the reader that “Islam had enslaved more people than any other culture.” [1]
    Likewise , a scholar on Islam who is an Arab woman and speakers and reads Arabic and uses to live in one the those countries on the Middle East had exposes in her book that the prophet of Islam ,Muhammad referred to Blacks as “ ‘raisin heads’ several time in the hadith [1:663:9:256]”Her book also reveals that “Throughout the hadith blacks are also referred to as abeds, which means ‘black in Arabic and is also synonymous with the word “slave’ and filth.” In fact ,Arab Muslims have enslaved blacks for 1,400 years and the Black slave trade iss till thriving in Sudan and Mauritania.” Further in her same book the author reveals that “Most interesting, though, is the even though black slavery by Muslims began long ago , almost no descends of those slaves are alive today in the Muslim world. Why is there no black culture in the Middle East ? Most slaves were either killed or died from being worked to death.” [2]
