Until the advent of materialism and 19th c. dogma, Western Civilisation was superior to anything Islam had developed. Islam has not aided in the development of the modern world; in fact civilisation has only been created in spite of Islam. Proof of this resides in the 'modern' world and the unending political-economic and spiritual poverty of Muslim states and regions. Squatting on richer civilisations is not 'progress'. Islam is pagan, totalitarian, and irrational.
Sura 2 is the longest Sura in Mohammed's totalitarian charter named the Koran or 'Recital'. Recite, memorize, obey. Good Moslems need to accept the existence of being a 'slave', a slave to the Al-Lah (celestial or moon deity of Mecca) and of course Muhammad himself, the only spokesman for the Al Lah and the last of the prophets.
How liberating. Or not.
A religion by definition frees the mind, the body, the spirit and invokes rationality in the construction of social and ethical programs.
Not so with the Koran. Just shut up and follow the great man Muhammad. Free-will? That would be tainted with the ideas of white privilege. Dispense with that civilizational racism already. All cultures are relative. Protagoras and the pre-Socratic sophist philosophers said so.
The use of the nouns, slave or slaves, runs throughout the width and breadth of the Koran. There are about 420 pages in the Koran. The plural 'slaves' appears on 226 of them and 'slave' singular, is cited on 109 pages. Together 'slave' and 'slaves' are found in 335 pages or about 80% of the Koran. At the verse level these terms comprise 5% of the verses out the Koranic total of 6236. It does appear that this Al-Lah thing, idol, Hub'al, Muhammad, is rather preoccupied with slavery.
Witness the ravings in Sura 2 about slaves usually married with violence against the hated Unbelievers:
002:090 URL How bad is that for which they have sold their ownselves, that they should disbelieve in that which Allah has revealed (the Qur'an), grudging that Allah should reveal of His Grace unto whom He will of His slaves. So they have drawn on themselves wrath upon wrath. And for the disbelievers, there is disgracing torment.
All humans are just slaves of Al Lah. Those who disbelieve or who commit ‘shirk’ namely a less than enthusiastic piety or outright ‘rebellion’ against the Al Lah are doomed to hell.
002:186 URL And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad SAW) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright.
002:207URL And of mankind is he who would sell himself, seeking the Pleasure of Allah. And Allah is full of Kindness to (His) slaves.
Muhammad is referenced as the penultimate slave of course with the usual and rather idiotic refrain 'peace be upon him', whenever his hallowed name is invoked. This for a man who slaughtered, butchered, murdered, slave-traded, erected so to speak a large personal harem, and died fat and covered in gold, poisoned, or strangled [or both] by his own men.
For the Al Lah, Muhammad is the slave prima inter pares.
002:023 URL And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'an) to Our slave (Muhammad Peace be upon him), then produce a Surah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allah, if you are truthful.
The above Sura is interesting. The Jews, Christians and other pagans living in Arabia, knew that Muhammad was a fraud. The endless miracles of Christ were still fresh in the cultural memory. Show us a miracle of healing or resurrection would be the cry against Muhammad. The Al Lah responds through Muhammad that the Koran itself is the greatest of all miracles. It is a weak and disconsolate rejoinder.
2:221 states a Muslim slave is superior to a non-Muslim. Being a beaten, subjected and debased human who is purportedly Muhammadan is superior to a free-thinking, independent non-Muslim.
002:221 URL And do not marry Al-Mushrikat (idolatresses, etc.) till they believe (worship Allah Alone). And indeed a slave woman who believes is better than a (free) Mushrikah (idolatress, etc.), even though she pleases you. And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikun till they believe (in Allah Alone) and verily, a believing slave is better than a (free) Mushrik (idolater, etc.), even though he pleases you. Those (Al-Mushrikun) invite you to the Fire, but Allah invites (you) to Paradise and Forgiveness by His Leave, and makes His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to mankind that they may remember.
In a similar vein in 2:177 we see a reference to freeing slaves – as long as they join the cult of course. One of Muhammad's first converts was his personal black slave. Islam is famously racist, with those entering hell possessing 'black faces' and Kaffir originally designating a black slave – one of the lowliest life forms in the Moslem hierarchy. Free your slaves to join the cult of Al-Lah, and your 'Lord' will be pleased, as long as you know that you must fight for him or it:
002:177 URL It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and each and every act of obedience to Allah, etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, and to Al-Masakin (the poor), and to the wayfarer, and to those who ask, and to set slaves free, performs As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and gives the Zakat, and who fulfill their covenant when they make it, and who are As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.) in extreme poverty and ailment (disease) and at the time of fighting (during the battles). Such are the people of the truth and they are Al-Muttaqun (pious - see V.2:2).
So, slavery is the new freedom in the Koran. Free yourself by submitting to Al-Lah and Muhammad! Then all the blessings of the Meccan moon deity will be bestowed upon your person in the male-Moslem heaven, with eternal delights to occupy your time. The Koran has nothing to say about what female Moslem 'slaves' will get from the Al-Lah thing.
In Moslem jurisprudence the Koranic 'legal' ideal of an eye for an eye, is usually followed and believed by the more pious. If you commit a crime against a Moslem's slave than he has a right to commit a similar action against your slave. This 'Law of equality in punishment' is a pre-iron age code, which historically can be traced far beyond the Babylonian times of 1700 B.C. It is crude and not a program of jurisprudence but one of simplistic reciprocation. Today of course the relativists accept this rather banal code as an alternative form of 'justice' embedded in the various implementation of Sharia or Koranic 'law'.
002:178 URL O you who believe! Al-Qisas (the Law of Equality in punishment) is prescribed for you in case of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But if the killer is forgiven by the brother (or the relatives, etc.) of the killed against blood money, then adhering to it with fairness and payment of the blood money, to the heir should be made in fairness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. So after this whoever transgresses the limits (i.e. kills the killer after taking the blood money), he shall have a painful torment.
Slavery was and is rife within Islam. The Islamic irruptions were in large measure the attack on sophisticated civilizations by barbarous desert peoples seeking wealth, booty, women and manufactured products. Slavery is accepted as a de-facto part of existence within Islam. Sex enslavement of white women, millions of whom were taken over 1400 years to populate harems and households were a driving factor in the Musulman Jihad. It is rather curious then, that a cult focused on pre-modern slavery and its attendant immorality, is deemed to be a religion.
For the record Muslims and Blacks still own millions of slaves today in East and Central Africa.
The Roman empire at the time of Christ had about 100 million people within its borders. It is estimated that 40% of the population of Rome which housed some 1.5 million people were slaves. That is roughly 600.000 White slaves just in the capital. Hence the bread and circuses to keep them fed and diverted. Across the Roman empire the usual estimates are that 10-20% were slave chattel, or some 10-20 million Whites. This is likely an understatement. The Roman empire was a slave empire, everything was built and managed by cheap slave labour. All industry, agriculture, warring and daily life depended on slaves. Quite likely 30-40% within the Roman empire were slaves.
The need for slaves meant that the empire must expand, necessitating endless wars, to find more slaves. A citizen of Rome could not normally be enslaved. The Romans needed non-Romans, Slavs from south-eastern Europe, Goths and Teutons from the north, Celts and Britons from the north-west. Very little trafficking in Black slaves occurred during Roman times, there was no need for it. Supplies of White slaves were plentiful and easily obtained. It was a ‘civilisation’ built on White slavery. This is apparently, for the ‘intellectual’, the high point of ‘classical civilisation’ and the apogee of ‘development’. An empire which existed on White slavery is applauded with happy nods, grins, and raised eyebrows, as the great example of man’s civilising mission.
None of this is taught today in ‘education’, but the barbarity of the Roman empire was a well-known fact in the Middle Ages, before the ‘Enlightenment’ endarkened reality and substituted Christianophobia with a biased anti-Christian theology into historical, sociological, and cultural discourse. Various Christian Medieval Kings, including Charlemagne, ridiculed the coarseness of Rome and Athens, their lack of progress in many areas, the unlimited enslavement, depravity and secular barbarity reflected in societies that operated without the Christian ideals of chivalry, equality, humility, forgiveness and charity. The ancient world for most was nasty, brutish and short.
Rome enslaved tens of millions of Whites. But do congratulate its greatness.
What about Arabs, Muslims, Black Muslims, Turkish Muslims, Mongol Muslims and White slavery? Didn’t the Muslims hug, kiss and tenderly develop the ‘dark age’ ‘ignorant’ Christians, teaching them Aristotle, showing them how to bathe, endeavouring them to read and write, patiently showing them farming and fishing? So, we are told. In reality, the far more advanced civilised, learned, technologically sophisticated and industrialised ‘dark age Europeans’ were raped and slaughtered en-masse over 1200 years by Muslims. Tens of millions of White Christians were taken by these Koran-inspired Jihadists over 1200 years from every geographical angle and direction. White Slavery only ended along the Barbary-Muslim coast in 1816 for example, with 1.5 million Whites enslaved over 250 years. Surely there is an academic and ‘expert’ somewhere who will define this enslavement as liberating, educating and justified.
It is curious that Arabs, Turks, Black Muslims, Mongols and Muslim Berbers don’t need to bend knees to White Christians. The Muslim empires, like the Roman were slave empires. In the Muhammadan cult, a Muslim cannot enslave another Muslim. This is why the Koran goes to great lengths adjuring the taking ‘with the right hand’ of Christians. White slaves were needed to run the Muslim empire, fill the galleys and armies, dig out the mines, build the ships and cities, develop the land and agriculture, serve as sex-chattel for the illimitable lusts of Muslim lords, governors, caliphs and Sultans. The Muslim empires imitated the Roman. They were primitive and built on human flesh.
The carnage in lost White lives, broken families, destroyed societies, the individual agony of being enslaved, the pain, the torture, the galley slave rowing in his own faeces and urine year after year, the massive harems stocked with white women, the white Christian boys having their penises removed to make them eunuchs to guard harems and sultans…..none of this is even discussed.
-In North Africa alone, from 640 to 1816, Arab, Black, Berber Muslims enslaved well over 5 million Whites both from within North African domains (Roman, Greek, Christian slaves) and from Europe (invasions, corsairs, raids who were brought back to North Africa to be used or sold as slaves).
-Arab and Black Muslims enslaved over 1 million White Christians just in Spain. Most people don’t know that waves of Black Muslims were pre-dominant in the Muslim Jihad in Spain.
-Arab and Black Muslims linked up with the Vikings to promote White slave trading all over Gaul and Britain, with hundreds of thousands of Whites enslaved during the Viking invasions sold to Muslims in Spain, North Africa and the Levant. Probably another 1 million Whites were sent by Vikings south to Muslims over 200 years. One of the great drivers of the Viking invasions was white slavery. Dublin, Limerick and Waterford in Ireland were established as slave trading centres. During the Roman era Bristol was already known as a white-slave trading port. White slavery was endemic in Roman, Saxon and Viking Britain.
-Ottoman Muslims enslaved some 2.5 million Christian boys (the Janissaries) over 250 years JUST from the Balkans (7-10.000 / yr average x 250 years). One cannot understand the Balkans without comprehending the slaughter and devastation enacted by the Muslim Ottomans over 400 years; including the ‘devshirme’ or the collection of young Christian boys, many of them to be castrated, all of them converted to Muhammadanism, with a majority trained and brainwashed to become the elite warriors of the Sultan or Janissaries. Yet there is nary a whimper about this today from the ‘intellectuals’ in the ‘West’.
-Ottoman Muslims enslaved some 5 million Hungarians and millions more in Austria, Serbia, Albania, Romania, Wallachia, over 400 years. In Hungary alone some 5 million may have been taken. Given that the Muslim Turks enacted yearly raids or razzia, to find Christian slaves, and could easily attack villages and cities with their endless hordes and enslave 20.000 to 40.000 from just one razzia, it stands to reason that 5-10 million White slaves over 250 years would easily be taken from Central Europe (250 years x 10.000 = 2.5 million, so 5 million would be a very low estimate).
-Muslims enslaved some 2-5 million Russians from modern day Russia and Ukraine (Mongols, Turks). The wars and raids from the south and east into Russia and eastern Europe were almost yearly after 1200, with both Moscow and Kiev destroyed in the 1240s. There was the endless Muslim search for rape and booty, much of it targeting the beautiful White women usually depicted as prostitutes in Muslim propaganda.
One can read about the Ottoman slaughter in just one area say Albania, to get a sense of the scale of White enslavement by Muslims. Small Albania which fronts Italy on the Adriatic was planned to be the launching pad for an invasion of Italy and an attack on Rome. In the 15th century the great Christian warrior Skanderberg, once a Muslim slave and forced lover of the Sultan took control of Albania and led a Christian revolt. Skanderberg had been handed over to the Ottomans by his Father, an Albanian Lord who tried to ransom peace with the Muslims to protect his lands. This agreement was never honoured by the Muslims of course and Skanderberg as a ransomed prisoner was raped by the Sultan as a boy, forcibly converted to Islam, and became a renowned warrior and Ottoman general.
Skanderberg became one of Europe’s greatest and probably, least known, heroes. In the 15th century, for over 25 years and victorious in at least 30 battles, outnumbered in every one, sometimes by 20:1, Skanderberg defeated the huge Muslim armies which pressed into Albania and arrested the expansion of their empire. He bought Europe about 70 years which proved to be the difference between most of the Continent remaining Christian or being Muslimified. It is very hard to estimate the extent of slavery just from little Albania, but in reading the wars of Skanderberg, probably in 30 years at least 500.000 White Christians were enslaved, and the land was rendered so desolate and de-populated that it has NEVER recovered. In the Middle Ages, Albania was wealthy, White and Christian. After 1500 it became Muslim and poor. Just imagine one small area of southern Europe, offering up 500.000 White slaves. The extent of White slavery to feed the various Muslim empires from 640 A.D. to 1816 A.D. is almost unfathomable.
But in today’s upside-down, clown-world, where history is rewritten and lies and stupidity are now truth and intelligence, Muslim Arabs, Berbers, Turks and Mongols don’t need to bend knees to White Christians. Such ignorance is how civilisations die.
As the Western world implodes in an orgy of anti-white racism and flu-fascism, erasing 3000 years of progress, using ‘slavery’ and ‘racism’ as pretexts, it rarely occurs to the racists (anti-white); that the cult of Muhammad including Black Muslims, were the great slave traders of history. Arab Muslims shipped at least 50 million sub-Sarahan Blacks north to the Arab heartlands. No trace of Blacks or Black culture exists in the Arab-Muslim states. The Blacks were effaced, either through death, war, castration, or polygamous based reproduction with non-Blacks. Nary a word from the clever people. Similarly, 25 million Whites were enslaved, raped, killed by various Muslim states and empires over 1400 years. At least 2 million were taken alone, by the Barbary coast pirates from the 15th to 19th centuries, far exceeding the 500.000 Black slaves that were transhipped across the Atlantic to America. Nary a word from the clever people.
The self-appointed very clever people who dominate the media, political establishment and academia, arrogantly ascertain, almost to a man (or a transgender), that Muhammad’s cult is a spiritual project of wondrous tolerance and civilization. Never, they declare, did their favourite pets engage in the terrible fascistic practices of slavery, rape, war, or Jihad. Only the horrendously deformed and inferior white male did that. Tears pour down their faces as they declaim the stunning achievements of the Meccan moon cult and how a pagan fascism eschewed slavery, ennobled the multicultural paradise and erected inter-alia: morality, ethics, spaghetti, mathematics, flying, architecture, advanced engineering and hospitals. Back in the world of the 5 senses, the ignorance from the ‘clever people’, about the reality of Islam is matched only by their hubris and wandering stupidity.
The very clever people cannot however, even answer the most basic questions about their favourite ideology which has murdered some 300 million over 1400 years; and in whose name daily acts of barbarism are legion. Few have read anything about Islam, fewer still the Koran, and almost none the life of the mad Mohammed. Yet we are told that based on no facts, no historical understanding, and no knowledge, that the ideology of Submission is peace and harmony.
One simple objection to the Islamic cult which these very clever people cannot rationalize, is slavery. Christianity ended the trading of humans. The reduction of some of the human species to little more than animal status existed in all ancient empires and continues today throughout the width and breadth of Islamic and Arab culture. Yet only Christian Europe ended this practice. Islam did not and has not. In fact, it is not hard to find almost on a monthly basis, an Islamic cleric somewhere in the world, thundering that slavery is a part of Islamic law and culture, and cannot be stopped. Muslims view slaving as a natural by-product of Jihad. To the victor goes the spoils, the gold, and of course the beautiful Kufar women. As the Koran makes clear in numerous places, slavery is natural and sanctioned by the moon guy, Al-lah:
Sura 16 (The Bee), verse 75
“Allah sets forth a parable: (consider) a slave, the property of another, (who) has no power over anything, and one whom We have granted from Ourselves a goodly sustenance so he spends from it secretly and openly; are the two alike? (All) praise is due to Allah!"
Though Sura 16 verse 75 is gibberish, parading as a God-inspired phrase or 'parable', it tries to contrast the conditions of a slave who is owned by a Muslim. The conclusion is simple. The moon-idol Baal or Allah (meaning the Lord of Mecca who was Baal and Muhammad’s family were the moon deity’s caretakers), has granted "a goodly sustenance" to the Muslim, which he can spend openly or secretly as he pleases - including of course the acquisition of more slaves. Since the moon deity Allah, claims for himself the position of the guarantor and initiator of all of life's benefits, both the free Muslim's good fortune and the slave's misfortune are ultimately determined by Allah. This is fatalism writ large. Through his rhetorical question, "Are the two alike?", Muhammad is justifying the inequality between the slave and the freeman as if it was a natural occurrence – ordained and supported by Allah. This is true as long as it is the Muslim who owns the slave[s] of course. Non-Muslims cannot own Muslim slaves. Al-lah would never approve of this.
Sura 33.50 also grants Mohammed and Muslims the right to own slaves:
“O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those [slaves] whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah has given to you as prisoners of war, and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who fled with you; and a believing woman if she gave herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet desired to marry her -- specially for you, not for the (rest of) believers; We know what We have ordained for them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess in order that no blame may attach to you; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.”
'The right hand' is a literary allusion meaning the right hand which holds the collar of the slave. Slavery is fine within Islam, especially as it is a natural derivative of war. Muslims on the Jihad have every right to expect plunder, women and slaves.
These verses are two amongst many which not only permit Muslims to own humans – but actively encourage it. Islamic slave trading was and is a vital part of Jihad and the spread of the Arab pagan ideology. Islam is a predatory philosophy – one which needs to steal, thieve, plunder and rape in order to sustain itself. The spread of Islam was achieved by war, in large part to satiate the demands of the increasing numbers of followers who wanted a share in the spoils of land, chicks and gold. It is not a mystery as to why people joined the cult. Why become a Dhimmi or second-class tax and social slave when you can enjoy the many benefits of cult membership including an afterlife upon a heavenly plane; gorging on food, water, women and wine?
Christianity is different. In the late Roman empire, the Christian church [which was already being riven by debate and the establishment of different sects, a healthy development which led to argument, revision and rational discourse]; agitated against both slave trading and the ownership of slaves. It would take some 500-700 years to fully extirpate both practices within most of Europe. Slavery was only to resume as an institution under the centralization of despotic power and the replacement of Christian medieval law, with canonized Roman law.
Just as importantly the Christian sects all developed and supported the ideas around what is termed 'human rights'. Islam and other orthopraxis [correct behaviour]; focus solely on duties, not rights. It was only Christianity which developed natural law rights. Part of natural law is freedom from enslavement. Islam never has, and never will support such an ideal. Slavery is an integral part of the Muslim program. It is anathema to the Christian.
We know that Islam is fundamentally, in large part, a slave ideology from the mere fact that its founder, who is held up as the example of the perfect man, was a slave trader and owner. He did advise that slaves be treated well, since they are after all, important assets; 'Feed them what you eat yourself and clothe them with what you wear...They are God's people like unto you and be kind unto them.' Heart-warming. Be kind to them, but still trade and own them. Mohammed even freed a few slaves, married one, and adopted another. Islamophiles use this to justify their claims that he was against slavery. Of course, this is a lie. He traded in dozens of slaves and kept a well-documented and quite large group of female sex slaves. He made money and lascivious profit from this slave dealings.
It is rather odd that a slave trader and practitioner of slave-based sex is called a 'prophet' or a holy man.
On the other hand, no Christian leader in the early church owned slaves. Christ, who was the anti-thesis of Mohammed, denounced slavery and preached against the age-old evil. So too did many Christian sects and the church by the late Roman period was a loud opponent of the trade in human flesh. Nothing like this opposition existed in any period or epoch in Islam.
Today slave trading still goes on in the Muslim world. Whites, Blacks, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslim pre-teen girls are still enslaved and traded. The numbers are not truly known but based on anecdotal evidence they must total in the millions. In some countries in Muslim Africa slave status is passed down from one generation to the next. Yet few Western organizations, or Western Islamophiles will even admit to this current immorality within Islam, nor to its 1400-year history as a key component of Muslim imperialism. Likewise, the very clever people never credit European Christianity with the eradication of slavery, nor do they appreciate the massive costs in money and men borne by the British Empire and the northern US states, in eradicating the modern form of this heinous crime. For these extremely smart people Islam is only merriment and love - its slave trade and the ethos of violence and de-humanizing immorality does not, and never did exist.
