The majority of such slaves taken were young boys and these were invariably castrated. The adult males who did not suffer this fate were consigned to a life of perpetual backbreaking labour as galley slaves or miners, without the comfort of female company. The situation with female slaves however was very different: virtually all of these were employed as house-maids and concubines, and the great majority would at some stage have had children, or at least become pregnant. What happened to these children is one of the darkest secrets of Islamic history. Taking everything into account, there can be no doubt that great numbers of them were killed by their fathers, since no other explanation is forthcoming. It is a curious fact that a topic as explosive as this has been very sparsely investigated by academics and journalists, though the following excerpt from the New York Daily Times of 1856 shows it to be a subject periodically noted by Western observers over the centuries. “In Constantinople it is evident that there is a very large number of negresses living and having habitual intercourse with their Turkish masters – yet it is a rare thing to see a mulatto [someone of mixed Negro-Caucasian race]. What becomes of the progeny of such intercourse? I have no hesitation in saying that it is got rid of by infanticide, and that there is hardly a family in Stanboul where infanticide is not practiced in such cases as a mere matter of course, and without the least remorse or dread.” (“Horrible Traffic in Circassian Women – Infanticide in Turkey” New York Daily Times, August 6, 1856, p. 6)
Other reports from the nineteenth century speak of middle aged and elderly African women, half-mad with grief and despair, roaming the streets of Constantinople begging for bread after being ejected by their Turkish owners. The same type of scene was repeated in cities throughout the Muslim world over the centuries, and illustrates the virulent racism was historically part and parcel of the Muslim and Arab mentality.
Sorry Manfred, I don't know. My main concern is that many black people in the USA seem to have adopted Islam recently in ignorance of how their enslaved ancestors came to be there in the first place.manfred wrote:fernando this is the stuff nightmares are made of...

In Islam Allah allow MUSLIM ONLY to have slave, but he must keep them look after. That is Muslim do, if they have slave. They are ALWAYS kind, and look after, because so says noble Quran.
White people steel black peoople from their home beat them kill them sex slave them, and eat them.
Frankie like burning black people on cross and have BBQ with beer.
And then white people write lie about Muslim. We must fight until no more fitna.
He who has a slave-girl and teaches her good manners and improves her education and then manumits and marries her, will get a double reward; and any slave who observes God’s right and his master’s right will get a double reward.”
An Islamic "education" really does wonders for critical thinking. We have had a great many examples of that on this forum even.

This probably explains why Barani could devote fourteen pages to an account of the scholars, poets, preachers, philosophers, physicians, astronomers, and historians who thronged Delhi in the days of Ala-ud-din Khalji.
The Muslim rulers of Bengal engaged scholars to translate the Ramayana and the Mahabharata into Bengali. Maladhar Vasu translated the Bhagavata Purana into Bengali under the patronage of Sultan Husain Shah (r. 1493–1518), and Chuti Khan, governor of Chittagong, employed Srikara Nadi to translate parts of the Asvamedha Parva of the Mahabharata into Bengali. In Kashmir, Hindu literature and philosophy were studied enthusiastically at the court of Zain-ul-Abidin (1420–1470)
Just like present day evangelicals use scientific procedures such as hypnotism in third world countries to create cultish fervent religious people crying with joy feeling as though the supposed holy spirit had really descended upon them.
Thanks for the link, Manfred. One more for my reading list!manfred wrote:As to your article about the "enlightened" wonderfully educated Mughals, don't be ridiculous. The tiny window of Islamic openness had long gone by then.

You forgot to mention they eat babies and little kitten too, and you did not say how you would like to kill them all.

Religion Hatred is an emotional opiate that blurrs the intellect of normal human beings and don't get me wrong,I am very well aware that just like a drug addict or an alcoholic addict would even not hesitate to kill others in order to continue his/her addiction,religious hate addicts too will not hesitate to go to any lengths to continue and if possible even get some more people addicted.

There you are, all fixed. And it really seems you are talking about yourself and to yourself.
