Originating from the life of the Prophet Mohammed, slavery is deeply embedded in Islamic law and tradition. Muslims are required to follow the teachings of Mohammed, who was a slave owner and trader. Further, a large part of the sharia – in the Sunna of Mohammed and the Koran – is dedicated to the practice of slavery. Muslim caliphs typically had harems of hundreds of slave girls captured from Christian, Hindu, and African lands. Slavery is still practiced today in several Muslim countries and glorified by present-day jihadist groups.

In Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters, Davis describes how, from 1500 to 1800, Muslim corsairs from the Barbary Coast systematically enslaved white Christians from Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Holland, Iceland, Great Britain, Ireland, and Greece. The Muslims raided ships at sea and attacked coastal villages in an activity called "Christian stealing." During that time, Davis explains, the Mediterranean had a reputation as the sea where people vanished: fisherman or sailors on board boats, shepherds tending flocks, farmers toiling near the shore, and townspeople, including women and children, living in coastal communities. Coastal dwellers and those who traveled by ship constantly risked capture, violence, and exploitation at the hands of Barbary Coast Muslims.

As part of this jihad against Christianity begun in 1500, piracy and slaving were the main instruments used to deprive infidel communities of useful, productive citizens and to acquire booty. Davis estimates that during three centuries of Muslim predation, as many as 1.25 million Europeans were permanently and stealthily removed from their families and communities.

Female captives served either as sex slaves in a harem or as domestic servants confined to household duties. Many concubines converted to Islam and were never ransomed. Young or adolescent boys were retained for military or sexual service.

According to Davis's research, the extent of the Barbary Coast slavery enterprise was so significant that fully one quarter of the population of Algiers were slaves during this period. The entire existence of the city was predicated on piracy and slave running. In Tunis and Tripoli, 10 to 20% of inhabitants were slaves.

Some European coastal communities became virtual ghost towns as residents fled to escape the perils of seafaring Muslim corsairs, Davis writes. Slave raids caused long-term and significant economic distress for affected communities, and hefty ransom demands rearranged property relationships. A villager who rescued a family member might be forced to relinquish title to land, a house, or a boat and find himself in the unenviable position of working the land or on the boat he had previously owned prior to his relative's captivity.

Given the insights from Davis' research and the condoning of infidel enslavement under Islamic doctrine, it is not surprising that within the Muslim world, no widespread call for the abolition of slavery has ever been issued. In fact, slavery still exists in Chad, Niger, Mauritania, Mali, and Sudan. Pressure to end the practice came from the West. Not until as late as 1962 did Saudi Arabia, responding to U.S. pressure, officially abolish slavery. Today, we see that the Islamic State uses Islamic doctrine to justify the kidnapping and enslavement of Christian and Yazidi women and children, even issuing a Koran-sanctioned edict about the permissibility of sexual intercourse with pre-pubescent girls.


TL;DR: Musulcani praticavano e praticano la schiavitù su vasta scala, spesso a danno di noi occidentali (in particolare degli abitanti del mediterraneo, Italia inclusa). Gli schiavi erano sottoposti a condizioni di vita molto dure e spesso non sopravvivevano oltre i 5 anni dalla cattura (il 50% degli schiavi). Non solo, ma la schiavitù è ancora largamente utilizzata in vari paesi a maggioranza musulcana e non c'è stato mai un rigetto di questa pratica fra questi selvaggi come invece è avvenuto in occidente. I paesi a maggioranza musulcana che hanno abolito questa pratica lo hanno fatto per le pressioni di noi occidentali, non perché hanno scelto di farlo.

Per quelli che "noi occidentali siamo brutti e cattivi e i poveri musulcani ora si stanno solo vendicando per le nostre orribili malefatte".
