Op-ed:
Slavery's Islamic Face
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio
Slavery in America...a sad chapter in American history but a chapter in many nation's history. And while we are still dealing with slavery's ramifications here in America courtesy of those who refuse to let long abolished slavery be part of our nation's past not part of our of present or our future, these sorts still refuse to accept as fact that all peoples of all colors, nationalities, religions, and creeds have at one time or another been slaves whether they be the spoils of war or innocent victims of their country's conquest.
But for the most part the capture and bonding to slavery of the unwilling, along with the buying and selling of what amounts to being human chattel, has disappeared from the civilized world...as it should. However, there is one major corner of the world where slavery remains the norm and that is in the nations of the islamic world...both in the Middle East and in parts of Africa as well...for when the Atlantic slave trade ended the Eastern slave trade grew until it finally morphed into today's very profitable islamic slave trade.
Simply, the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade in no way led to freedom for some...it merely changed the point of origin a bit as well as the destination to which the slaves would be sent.
And while worldwide voices of opposition are raised to some degree...for no man should own another man... most, but not all, black voices here in America remain silent to the plight of their African black brothers and sisters. To them it's better to try and bilk
“whitey” for reparations for long past injustices done than better the time spent trying to help fellow black victims of present day islamic slave trading. Guess in their eyes there's just no hoped for individual profit and reward in their getting involved.
But first islam itself...Qur'an 4:92
"It is not for a believer to kill a believer unless (it be) by mistake. He who hath killed a believer by mistake must set free a believing slave, and pay the blood-money to the family of the slain, unless they remit it as a charity. If he (the victim) be of a people hostile unto you, and he is a believer, then (the penance is) to set free a believing slave."
Slavery in islam is not new...especially sexual slavery...its history is long and very sordid for islam itself came into existence at a time when slavery of every kind was both accepted and widespread. And while the qur'an does reference slavery as being somewhat of the norm...just as it was at one time in both Judaism and Christianity... those two great religions went through a reformation where slavery, no matter the Biblical references, is no longer condoned. Not so in the islamic world for there has been no reformation of islam, and for the most part the islamic world lives today as it did in the 6th century when it was born...although the modern day version of the 6th century now comes replete with 21st century weapons of the most vile kind.
And know that muhammad himself bought, sold, captured, and owned slaves, and that twenty nine times slaves are mentioned in the qur'an...mentioned as a definitive distinction between a slave and a free man being the natural order of things...translating into that even today under islam, slavery, for the most part, remains an accepted practice no matter that we non-believers...we infidels...deem otherwise.
And while islamic law recognized slavery as an institution within islamic society and attempted to regulate and restrict it in various ways...the qur'an speaks of slavery being restricted to two instances alone...as in if one is captured in a war...a war that was
“legal” according to the sharia...or if one is born into slavery...born as a child of two slaves. And while the qur'an also states that a
“free muslim” cannot be enslaved and that conversion to islam by a non-muslim slave does not negate said person's slave status, the former part of that law has been thrown by the wayside by the likes of ISIS and such who freely enslave both their fellow muslims whether they be
“free” or not as well as Christians who refuse to convert to islam.
"The trade in Yazidi women and girls has created a persistent infrastructure, with a network of warehouses where the victims are held, viewing rooms where they are inspected and marketed, and a dedicated fleet of buses used to transport them." - as per the article
ISIS Enshrines a Theology of Rape in The New York Times, August 2015.
So with slavery being acceptable under qur'anic law regarding those captured during times of war...during times of so-called lawful
"jihad"...slavery still technically remains illegal under the state secular laws of all muslim countries. And yet slavery still remains an important staple of modern islam especially but not limited to sex slavery...with an estimated 2,936,800 slaves in total scattered throughout the Middle East. And while it was ISIS who publicly sold an estimated 2,000+ captured Iraqi Yazidi women and young girls from the village of Kocho as sex slaves...for less than the price of a packet of cigarettes or so they claim...many other captured young Yasidi women instead became ISIS' victims of forced marriages most times to wealthy much older men...and this includes little girls as young as six years of age.
And let's not forget that these same little Yasidi girls and young women are but numbers added to ISIS' ever increasing and highly profitable commercial aspect of what amounts to sexual exploitation...otherwise known as islamic sex trafficking...where those not outwardly sold to a single buyer or into a forced marriage are sentenced instead into a lifetime of prostitution and breeding... breeding the next generation of prostitutes to serve the perverted desires of ISIS men. In fact, U.N. investigators estimate that some 7,000 young Yasidi women and girls have been forced by ISIS into sex slavery of some kind.
And not to be ignored nor diminished in any way is that while ISIS continues to sell young Yasidi women and girls, they outright slaughtered more than 5,000 Yasidi men. Now expanding beyond just the Yasidi, ISIS marks both Christian and muslim males for slavery with most of those marked being forced into both
"state and non-state" armed groups...in this case being assorted ISIS aligned terrorist groups...where they become either expendable jihadi fighters or martyrs for the cause. And while some of the males might technically not be deemed slaves by ISIS condoners, young, strong, and healthy males are still forced to become laborers earning less than a dollar a day...if they're even paid at all.
But know that ISIS is just the tip of the islamic slave market for there is also Boko Haram, who since their birth in 2009, have abducted thousands of African girls and women in northeast Nigeria, including the more than 200 Chibok girls taken from their secondary school in April 2014...many of whom were turned into suicide bombers with others
"deliberately impregnating" to produce the next generation of Boko Haram fighters. Now remember Michelle Obama's useless self-promoting publicity tweets,
“bring back our girls”...tweets in reference to the Chibok abductions...yet barely a whisper was heard from America's black community in response...very sad indeed.
So as ISIS, Boko Haram, and other Middle Eastern and African terrorist groups now struggle somewhat to finance their what we call
“terrorist operations” and what they call a
“holy war against the West”...a struggle that is the direct result of U.S. and allied forces really starting to kick some islamic terrorist butt...slavery, whether it be of the hard labor or of the sexual kind, remains a welcomed big money source from which to restock their dwindling monetary islamic terrorist war chests.
“It turns out that slavery today is more profitable than I could have imagined...Profits on a per slave basis can range from a few thousand dollars to a few hundred thousand dollars a year, with total annual slavery profits estimated to be as high as $150 billion.” So says Siddharth Kara, a slavery economist and fellow of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, in his book
Modern Slavery.
And with the islamic slavery
“business” showing no signs of abating, especially not with a 20 to 30 percent overall return on the slaver's human
“investment,” slavery will surely increase in the islamic world especially in islamic North Africa...black Africa...much to the West's basically looking away. And why...because Western bleeding heart's always use the same excuse for any of Africa's woes being that with most of the continent mired in poverty coupled with the sad fact of ongoing black-on-black tribal warfare...tribal savagery best left to centuries past...that this all helps to construct a ripe for islamic takeover scenario replete with sharia compliant slavery.
But dare we not forget that there's also...whether it be right or wrong...a growing black African mentality similar to that which mimics many of those residing in today's predominately black American inner-cities...a scenario that the islamists actually feed upon.
And these inner-cities are where a self-perceived lack of a
"voice;" lack of an education (an education which is freely available but which some self-proclaimed victims of
“whitey's” supposed injustice willingly choose not to take advantage of); lack of an intact traditional family unit (not multiple welfare children each with a different daddy); coupled with a lack of drive to economically move forward without someone else...aka the government...footing the bill; translates into some people not just accepting their sorry lot in life as their predestined norm but actually relishing in it.
Sounds a lot like islamic North Africa as well...now doesn't it.
And with this mindset now being passed down from generation to generation both here in America and in Africa as well, the excuse that poverty itself creates and breeds slavery...physical slavery in Africa, mental slavery in America...is but a lie for slavery is slavery whether it be the slavery of modern war or the all consuming memories of slavery coming from refusing to let go of the past. And Africa's supposed victimhood as well as its being ripe for islam's picking...as in its being the Middle East's easy to access warehouse of slaves...lies deep within its own governments...governments who do little to nothing of substance to help stop the islamic slaver's from taking its men and selling its women and children. And this moral abomination will continue on because of the embedded culture known as islam and its constantly reinforced theocratic/political agenda...an agenda the hopeless easily and readily accept.
Remember, while the concept of slavery has been with man almost since time began...the strong will always look for ways to enslave the weak whether it be mentally and/or physically...many of we in the West still foolishly believe that the only way to end slavery...especially islamic slavery...is to both eliminate poverty and to fight no more wars of civilizations. But nothing can be farther from the truth simply because islamic slavery is indeed an integral part of islam itself...an integral part of the war they have been fighting since 632 A.D...as well as being a part of islam's unyielding and unforgiving religious agenda...a war that we now unfortunately see ourselves as part of.
And so while both muslims and Christian men, women, and children in black Africa and in the Middle East will sadly remain the unwilling victims of the ongoing islamic slave trade...it must be noted that no matter the world's secular laws abolishing slavery...islam's modern day goal of expansion...as in the Levant...actually in and of itself created a new demand for slaves...a demand that could only be fulfilled by starting yet another holy war. And the qur'an mandated call to jihad has indeed started that very war.
