  • African Slave trade: who started it, and who stopped it

    Wikipedia: Historians estimate that between 10 and 18 million Africans were enslaved by Arab slave traders and taken across the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Sahara desert between 650 and 1900. [Slavery remained legal in the Islamic world until 1970. NINETEEN-seventy.]...Many male African slaves were castrated [by Muslims]

    In Senegambia, between 1300 and 1900, close to one-third of the population was enslaved. In early Islamic states of the western Sudan, including Ghana (750–1076), Mali (1235–1645), Segou (1712–1861), and Songhai (1275–1591), about a third of the population were slaves. In Sierra Leone in the 19th century about half of the population consisted of slaves. In the 19th century at least half the population was enslaved among the Duala of the Cameroon, the Igbo and other peoples of the lower Niger, the Kongo, and the Kasanje kingdom and Chokwe of Angola. Among the Ashanti and Yoruba a third of the population consisted of slaves. The population of the Kanem was about a third slave. It was perhaps 40% in Bornu (1396–1893). Between 1750 and 1900 from one- to two-thirds of the entire population of the Fulani jihad states consisted of slaves. The population of the Sokoto caliphate formed by Hausas in the northern Nigeria and Cameroon was half slave in the 19th century. It is estimated that up to 90% of the population of Arab-Swahili Zanzibar was enslaved. Roughly half the population of Madagascar was enslaved...



    David Livingstone wrote:
    "To overdraw its evils is a simple impossibility.... We passed a slave woman shot or stabbed through the body and lying on the path. [Onlookers] said an Arab who passed early that morning had done it in anger at losing the price he had given for her, because she was unable to walk any longer. We passed a woman tied by the neck to a tree and dead.... We came upon a man dead from starvation.... The strangest disease I have seen in this country seems really to be broken heartedness, and it attacks free men who have been captured and made slaves."

    Livingstone estimated that 80,000 Africans died each year before ever reaching the slave markets of Zanzibar. Zanzibar was once East Africa's main slave-trading port, and under Omani Arabs in the 19th century as many as 50,000 slaves were passing through the city each year...

    The Anti-Slavery Society estimated that there were 2,000,000 slaves in the early 1930s Ethiopia (the only part of Africa not ruled by whites at the time), out of an estimated population of between 8 and 16 million. Slavery continued in Ethiopia until the brief Second Italo-Abyssinian War in October 1935, when it was abolished by order of the Italian occupying forces... (That's right: Mussulini, a member of the AXIS freed 2 million black-owned slaves. When will Steven Spielburg make a movie about THAT?)
    When British rule was first imposed on the Sokoto Caliphate and the surrounding areas in northern Nigeria at the turn of the 20th century (a century after Britain had outlawed slavery), approximately 2 million to 2.5 million people there were slaves. Another 2 million black-owned slaves freed by white people. You're welcome.

    In 'The Slave Trade Today', (on Amazon.com) Sean O'Callaghan toured the Mideast and Africa and covertly visited many slave markets. Since Islam allows for slavery and slave trading, he was able to see much of the real world of Islamic slavery. This all happened openly and legally as recently 1962:

    "Ten boys were ranged in a circle on the dais (used to display the slaves), their buttocks toward us. They were all naked, and I saw with horror that five had been castrated. The (slave dealer) said that usually 10% of the boys are castrated, being purchased by Saudi homosexuals, or by Yemenis, who own harems, as guards." p 75
    "Why had the girls (female slaves who had just been sold) had accepted their fate without a murmur, the boys howled and cried?" "Simple" said the Somali, we tell the girls from a very early age - 7 or 8 that they are made for love, at age NINE we let them practice with each other, and a year later with the boys".

    In Mecca:
    "We take note of 20 tall Negroes in turbans walking near the Kaba. They are eunuch slaves and are employed as police in the great Mosque. There are about 50 of them all together."

    "The streets are full of slaves... we see a few old slave women. They are recognized by the poverty of clothing... but we see nothing of the younger women slaves who are kept in the houses of the city."

    "As we move along we see two or three very old men and women who look like black skeletons. If we go to the mosque at sunrise we shall see some of these, if we go at sunset they will be there too, and if we pass by at midnight, we shall see them there still .. Sleeping on the stones in their rags. They have no home but the mosque, and no food but what they receive in alms; (they were) turned out to seek the bounty of Allah, as their masters would say."

    Got that? Nobody on the left cares about black children being raped and mutilated, not when it can't be used as an excuse to hate western civilization.
    The trading of children has been reported in modern Nigeria and Benin. In parts of Ghana, a family may be punished for an offense by having to turn over a virgin female to serve as a sex slave within the offended family. In this instance, the woman does not gain the title or status of "wife". In parts of Ghana, Togo, and Benin, shrine slavery persists, despite being illegal in Ghana since 1998. In this system of ritual servitude, sometimes called trokosi (in Ghana) or voodoosi in Togo and Benin, young virgin girls are given as slaves to traditional shrines and are used sexually by the priests in addition to providing free labor for the shrine.

    It is estimated that as many as 200,000 black south Sudanese children and women (mostly from the Dinka tribe sold by the Sudanese Arabs of the north) have been taken into slavery in Sudan during the Second Sudanese Civil War. In Mauritania it is estimated that up to 600,000 men, women and children, or 20% of the population, are currently enslaved, many of them used as bonded labor. Slavery in Mauritania was criminalized in August 2007...

    Did everybody hear that?

    Westerners didn't the African slave trade, Westerners didn't escalate it to it's heights of brutality, instead, Westerners stopped it.

    I need the ebonic translation for "YOU'RE EFFING WELCOME!"

    Re: African Slave trade: who started it, and who stopped it

    Thank you for bringing up this important information, Brother Jeb. I have recently seen Muslim apologists claiming that slavery had been made illegal in their culture before Christians did.

    Now, they want to act like none of it ever happened when it was going on as recently as the 1950's in Saudi Arabia.
    Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

        Waitaminute..... doesn't the Bible promote slavery? If so, does that mean the Muslims and Africans were doing Gods will while the white people who ended slavery were going against it?

            Are you going to answer Brother BAB's question, or are you having trouble finding your way out of a corner.

            HINT: the perpedicular flat surfaces that meet at a 90 degree angle are known as walls. If you will turn around there should be room enough for you to see where your are going.

            However, I suspect that you may need someone to guide you to the correct spot to answer his question; preferrably someone who is not blind.

            Truly, you are similar to the blind prophet Balaam, except, you lack the common sense to see that you are on a path to hell and poor taste.

            Numbers
            22:27 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. 22:28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? 22:29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
            22:30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.

              Well, as of here, I'm more interested in what y'all say than what the Bible says. Usually you're so good at following Biblical law but here, from what I've seen of what the Bible says about slavery, you're deviating. Or I dunno. Doesn't the Bible not only permit, but encourage, slavery? Or am I reading it wrong?

                Of course you are reading it wrong. I want you to pay careful attention to this verse.

                      Do I have to spoon feed you every little thing? Man stealers are slave traders. I suppose next you'll be telling me the verse has nothing to do with homos.

                        3) I have still not heard anyone in this thread tell me where the Bible says slavery is wrong. I'm going to consider this a 'win' on my part in that I know the Bible is pro-slavery and y'all don't. How does it feel to know hell-bound chick-with-a-dick knows the Bible better than you?

                              I sometimes think white people are too kind for our own good. We freed the slaves and they labeled us racists for our efforts. We let them vote, we let them eat in restaurants, we let them ener our houses through the front door on special occasions, but it's never enough. Then we gave women rights, which is the last thing they ever needed, but you just can't stop a giving heart.

                              I am proud to be part of the race that has given so much to the other races of the world, but I think it may be time to practice a little tough love. The other races will never get any better if we keep spoon feeding them. It may be time to return my niglet to the wild. How much does it cost to mail something to Africa?
