In the 1.300 years of Muslim-Arab slave trade, approximately a million Greeks were sold as slaves. When Caliph Sulayman was in Medina on his way back from pilgrimage, he gifted 400 Greek slaves to his local favorites, "who could think of nothing better to do with them than slaughter them", boasted Jarir ibn Atiyah, a poet who took part in this. According to Ibn Battuta, Greek girls who were pretty were forced into prostitution after being enslaved to Turks who took all their earnings. We first witnessed the Muslim-slavery in the Rashidun Caliphate (632–661 AD) LONG BEFORE AFRICAN SLAVES. Non-Muslim peoples were killed or enslaved. This was viewed as legitimate by Islamic law, in which kafir (non-Muslims) of Dar al-harb (non-Muslim lands) were viewed as legitimate targets of enslavement. Thousands of people were also enslaved during the Rashidun attack of Cyprus. The Syriac Chronicle of 1234, drawing upon a mid-8th-century source, described how men, women, and children were separated on Cyprus by the invaders and shipped to Syria and Egypt as slaves; two Greek inscriptions claimed that the number of the people abducted from Cyprus were 200,000 Christians. Thousands of Christians, women and children, were enslaved during the Islamic conquests in territory of Byzantine Syria Palestina. After the fall of Caesarea in 640, 4.000 "heads" (captives) were sent to Caliph Umar in Medina. Women captives were known to be subjected to sexual abuse. Male Muslims were given the right to have sex with female captives (slaves), which was phrased: "those men who guard their genitals, except with their wives and those whom their right hands possess, for then there is no blame" (Quran 23:6), which granted men the right to have sex not only with their wives but also with female captive slaves. There is a description of Caliph ʿUmar (r. 634–644) himself as a client of a slave dealer: "Nafe’e narrated that whenever Ibn Umar wanted to buy a slave-girl, he would inspect her by analysing her legs and placing his hands between her breasts and on her buttocks". Male slaves sent to the Arabian Peninsula were put to slave labor as agricultural slaves, digging underground irrigation canals and other hard labor, and so many thousands of young men were sent as slaves to Arabia during the Islamic conquests that many Christian and Jewish communities were almost drained of young males. Muslim slavery was historically the worst, yet no one talks about it. > slavery in the Rashidun Caliphate (632–661) > slavery in the Umayyad Caliphate (661–750) > slavery in the Abbasid Caliphate (750–1258) > slavery in the Mamluk Sultanate (1258–1517) > slavery in the Ottoman Empire (1517–1922) They blame for everything the Europeans and the "white men" while the biggest crimes against humanity were committed by the muslims and the Arabs. Communist leftists, are busy destroying the West in favor of Islam. If you want to support me in the effort I’m making, please consider becoming a subscriber to my X account for only $2.
