While I was aware of the Arab slave trade, you enlightened me about how it persisted long after slavery was abolished in western countries. The sexual slavery of Yazidi women is an abomination, especially since the Quran is cited as permitting such slavery as if that justifies it.

I've been watching the YouTube memoirs of an American special forces soldier recounting his service. Nicholas Irving has blown the lid on sexual use of children in local culture - by even the "good guys" who the Americans were aligned with. They were forced to just ignore the abuse by superior orders.

Turkey had legal slave-keeping until defeated in WW1, and following that the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. Most slaves today are kept in Muslim countries.

The retconning of Arabs and Islam as “comrades in arms” with Africans and “fellow oppressed people” is one of the biggest frauds of the 21st century. That narrative exists to attack White people. But the narrative can also be used to attack Israel in service of the “Free Palestine” movement. Lies are very flexible!

The Arab Slave Trade will be ignored until people start to grow a pair and defend both Zionism and Western Civilization.

The simplest way to cut through race bullshit: Bad things are bad and good things are good, regardless of the race of the person involved.

“However, gleefully taking responsibility for movements such as slavery that you are not responsible for, doesn’t make you special or superior, it makes you an idiot.”

Great line

You know who else is not out there saying sorry for the African slave trade?… Africans who captured and sold their neighbors into the trade.

Slavery and quasi-slavery still persist in much of the Arab world, most notably supposedly "moderate" Qatar.

I'm currently reading "Islamic Imperialism" by Efraim Karsh, about the history of Muslim empires in the Middle East. The Islamic world has been imperialist far more than it has been a victim of European imperialism. Another fact the anti-Zionists evade.

The Ottoman Empire and the Barbary pirates were equally significant slavers, as they raided the coasts of Europe, particularly Italy, Greece, Spain, the Adriatic, to seize European females as sex slaves. The highest value was placed on blond haired, blue eyed girls, who were subjected to the most appalling cruelty to satisfy the sexual urges of the male Muslim slave owners. This practice continued unabated for centuries.

Barbary pirates also raided the southern coasts of England for slaves

The ford woman is just plain wrong. Lots of people are wrong. Don’t let them get under your skin. They use “the poor powerless Palestinians “ as a way to sanitize their antisemitism. W/r/t slavery

The Islamic slave trade is well and alive. According to walk free MUSLIM Countries continuing SLAVERY of BLACKS. [Saudi Arabia 740,000 Slaves; Iraq 221000 Slaves; Yemen 180,000 Slaves; Syria 153,000; UAE 132,000; Jordan 102,000; Kuwait 55,000; Lebanon 52,000; Oman 33,000 ; Qatar 20,000;]. Why the blm people support the Moslem cause is a real mystery.

I have searched a long time for a special book : the scarfed Genocide

of Tidiane N‘Diaye

In German its name is

Der verschleierte Völkermord

It’s about the history of the Muslim slavetrading in Africa

The author is Anthropologist and economy scientist and an expert of cultures and history of black Africa…

He is Senegalese and a Muslim (!!)

There was a documentary about him in the German tv long before the system changed and the ex councilor Merkel decided to let the Syrians in 2015 flooding Germany and in the end whole Europe

Now this documentary isn’t to see again in the tv -massmigration doesn’t has to be criticized and Islam isn’t allowed in the public to be named in critical associations

Now my artschool teacher gave me this value little book

Only released in French and German

I am very proud to have it ,because although it’s new ,no store is offering it (…….?)

I am happy ,that Kelli now wrote this article and put some links in the end of the text ,so everybody can research and read

I can’t help ,but I can only read and Learn more and more about this deadly ideology ,its expansion and its consequences to the whole western world

So i can only put my little stories from Germany to it -the main guilty Land for this catastrophe in Europe

Thank you Kelli ,for your tireless and obsessed writing about these themes !

Great stuff as always. Qatar is reported to still be heavily involved in the slave trade to this day. There were lots of questions regarding the ‘acquisition’ of workers who built the stadiums for the World Cup in 2022. How the workers were unable to leave, despite the horrific work conditions, and how some ‘disappeared’, never returning to their home countries hasn’t been fully explained……

Yes I’ve heard that Qatar is basically one mega rich family and the rest slaves. Ignored as usual by most. Thanks Simon.

And in their wisdom, FIFA have announced that the 2034 World Cup will be hosted by……… Saudi Arabia!!! There is hardly any sport (boxing, golf etc) that isn’t being “sports washed” to cover up the Middle East’s “nothing going on here guv” human rights abuses 😞

What „The Jews“ are ethnically more or less, you find a.o. here : http://www.futureofjewish.com/p/are-jews-white-i-dont-know-and-i

Of course there still is a lot of racism also in „the Western“ nations, while I don´t know why you should feel „guilty“ for it just because you´re from a „Western“ nation also …?

What is never mentioned a.o. is that Europe, before some of their nations stepped out to colonize parts of the world, they had experienced invasion and enslavery themselves by a.o. the Huns, mongols, vikings a.o. and not at least by Arabs: „White Flesh“ was the utmost on their slave markets, it brought more cash than blacks, yellow or brown.

It does not get clear (enough) from your essai that when some European colonizers joined in on slavery trading, they „only“ used slave salary structures that had been established already around thousand years ago by …? The Arabs/Muslims and the BLACK emperors THEMSELVES:

they enslaved and sold their OWN inhabitants for many centuries …! „The Whites“ joined in for around 300 - 400 years, but only they were the ones who finally banned slavery and introduced universal human rights, which Islam to this day EXPRESSLY REJECTS (a.o. „Cairo Declaration“ 1990) and makes them subject to "God's reservation", thus making "non-believers“ a fair game and third-class citizens.

All of this has been written and published in many books about the "The veiled Genocide“ like by Tidiane N´Diaye (

http://books.google.de/books?vid=ISBN9782070119585&redir_esc=y ) -

still available a.o. an „amaz*n“ etc., but you hardly find all these books about the REAL and WHOLE history of enslavery, while you find mere lies and quarter-„truth“s like those of the infamous „Ta Nehisi Coates“ getting celebrated by „anti-colonize“-dumplings.

Racism or xenophobia is not a "white" specialty - talk to a Senegalese and see how some of them talk about "the Tanzanians" - or Huthus about Tutsis or Sudanese about Madagascans and so on... it is an incomprehensible mystery why white people blame themselves so much and do not address the guilt of everyone else.

I've actually known a slave within my own lifetime. It was the grandma of a childhood friend in Poland, she had been forcefully taken as a teenage girl to work in Nazi Germany as a domestic servant/nanny. There was even a stolen generation there where blonde children were kidnapped for German families. People don't know about these histories because the Anglo world has no real knowledge of any part of history that isn't their own.

There is a concept in Spanish historiography known as "the black legend", Spaniards believe that English culture painted them as particularly evil villains of colonialism... When I learned of this it occurred to me that the modern left is trying to create a black legend for basically all of Western civilization. This obsession with colonialism etc is basically realignment of teaching to make European people the villains of human history; with the unusual factor of being driven primarily by an elite minority of white people themselves. Do they love "POCs" so much or do they just hate themselves?

It’s a strange phenomenon to be sure. The self flagellation seems to be almost exclusively connected to white privilege.

Thanks for the summary Kelli. My experience is that Arabs, unless they have wiggled their way out of the mental strait jacket that are their societies and spent time in the West, are totally and 1000% accountability averse. Their prism through which they see the world is so warped around their own victimhood and martyrdom that nothing else can be allowed to exist (especially not African slave trade).

I would generally agree. But Westerners need to stop the self hate and the ridiculous assumption that white men are always the aggressors

We don't hear about it because it doesn't fit their narrative. They only turn into "activists" when Jews/Israel are involved!
