“…to the shores of Tripoli” – The forgotten Christian slaves of Islam [Psalms 110]

Hundreds of thousands of white Europeans were captured by Barbary MUSLIM pirates and sold as slaves in North Africa and the Ottoman Empire between the 16th and 19th centuries. Tens of thousands of Black African slaves are still owned today by Arab Muslims. These slave raids were conducted largely by Arab and Berber Muslim rather than Ottoman Turkish Muslims. However, during the height of the Barbary slave trade, the Barbary states were subject to Ottoman Muslim jurisdiction and ruled by Ottoman pashas. Furthermore, many slaves captured by the Barbary corsairs were sold eastward into Ottoman territories before, during, and after Barbary’s period of Ottoman rule.

The Barbary Muslim pirates kidnapped Europeans from ships in North Africa’s coastal waters (Barbary Coast). They also attacked and pillaged the Atlantic coastal fishing villages and town in Europe, enslaving the inhabitants. Villages and towns on the coast of Italy, Spain, Portugal and France were the hardest hit. Muslim slave-raiders also seized people as far afield as Britain, Ireland and Iceland. In 1627, Muslim Pirates went on a pillaging and enslaving campaign to Iceland. After dropping anchor at Reykjavik, his forces ransacked the town and returned with 400 men, women and children and sold them in Algiers. In 1631, he made a voyage with a brigand of 200 pirates to the coast of Southern Ireland and ransacked and pillaged the village of Baltimore, carrying away 237 men, women and children to Algiers.

The barbaric slave-raiding activities of the Muslim pirates had a telling effect on Europe. France, England, and Spain lost thousands of ships, devastating to their sea-borne trade. Long stretches of the coast in Spain and Italy were almost completely abandoned by their inhabitants until the nineteenth century...

Psalms 110:1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool *. 2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. 3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. 4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent , Thou [Yeshua/Jesus] art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. 5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. 6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. 7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

This article is a reminder that our founding fathers damn sure understood that Muslims did not belong in America. In fact, not long after the Revolutionary War, our marines were in Tripoli in the early 1700’s. I wish our Supreme Court plus our elected officials would learn this nation’s history from the beginning.

Sting’s “Desert Rose” makes a good anthem for the invasion of Europe.

There is NO “Radical Islam”. It’s ALL JUST Islam and, if they adhere to the teachings of Mohammed, THEY’RE ALL RADICAL because, ultimately, they ALL want kafirs (that’s us) D.E.A.D.! Get used to it!!

If you genuinely want to understand the TRUE, VIOLENT, DUALISTIC, SCHIZOPHRENIC nature of ISLAM in order to become part of a solution instead of part of the problem that spells doom for Western Civilization (and, NO, that’s not too extreme a statement), you need to spend 40 minutes with Dr. Bill Warner here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjBDDC4wVxk

(Don’t be concerned when Dr. Warner mentions that he “sells” books. (Though I suggest you sample the info in the first 5 minutes if only to get a sense of how thorough his research has been, slide out past the 5 minute mark for the red meat beyond. THAT’S where the really good stuff is.)

And this is ESPECIALLY for any antisemites who view the “Jewish Conspiracy” as the primary threat to your existence and are put off because the video was posted by a Jewish group.  Try to think of any nations conquered by violent, bloody Jewish jihad and send me their names.

After watching this presentation, if you STILL believe that Bush was correct when he called islam a “religion of peace” (it’s not a religion and it ain’t peaceful) and Obama was right when he recently declared islam morally equivalent or superior to the Christian Crusades, you are DEFINITELY a BIG part of the problem.

Gang, this is a WAR and it is one we dare not lose!

Saudi Arabia only banned slavery of blacks in the 1940’s, officially, at least.

Interesting fact from this period of history. An Arab slave raiding party landed in Italy and pushed inland. The Arabs were eventual surrounded on a hilltop by the locals. The fascinating thing was that both sides fought to a standstill, the Arabs were firmly entrenched on the hilltop, but had no way of getting to the coast. The resolution was the Arabs agreed to convert to Christianity and were allowed to build a permanent town on the hill. To this day, their descendants still live there.

It wasn't only Muslims based in North Africa who engaged in this. In 1571, shortly before the Battle of Lepanto, Muslim pirates based in Turkish-held parts of the Adriatic coast raided some of the Dalmatian islands and carried away more than 1,000 peasants into slavery.

I think the last known Muslim raid on Sardinia was 1815 or 1816, but I don't know if the raiders came from North Africa or from the core area of the Ottoman Empire.

Amazing! They thought they were going to convert Christians to Allah. Yahweh had other plans!
