Islam's anti-racist message from the 7th century still resonates today [LMAO!!!]

One day, in Mecca, the Prophet Muhammad dropped a bombshell on his followers: He told them that all people are created equal. “All humans are descended from Adam and Eve,” said Muhammad in his last known public speech. “There is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab, or of a non-Arab over an Arab, and no superiority of a white person over a black person or of a black person over a white person, except on the basis of personal piety and righteousness.”

Yeh....Mohammed’s better known phrase was “Kill all the Christians and Jews”.

The part that says “except on the basis of personal piety and righteousness“ changes a tolerant message to something very different.

Islam slave traders sold thousands of Blacks into slavery. Many of those slaves were sent to the New wOrld. Thanks to Islam that enslaves many even to this day!

Truth...not to mention that it’s a righteousness that comes from Law—”the man who does these things shall live by them”—and not through faith in Jesus Christ. Self-righteousness vs. the righteousness of Another, credited as a free gift. Big difference.

The word for "black" in Arabic (ab) is the same as the word for "slave". Thus, the name "Abdul" and "Abdallah" mean "Slave of Allah". You can see this root in many names and words in Arabic.

Meanwhile, our word for "slave" traces it etiology to the word "Slav", who were often taken as slaves during the Dark Ages. Slavs are White People.

Just sayin'.

Kill all the infidels isn’t racist, it’s a non-discriminatory call to wipe out all non-muslims............/s

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal. 3:38

Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythiam, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Col. 3:18

Careful reading of the text and historical practice indicate:

1. Both Christianity and Islam established a principle of equality within the church community for men whatever their ethnic origin.

2. Christianity but not Islam established a principle of equality within the church community for women as well as for men.

3. Neither Christianity nor Islam ended slavery of non-believers. Rather both countenanced the enslavement of “infidels” taken captive during war.

4. During the Middle Ages, slavery was abolished in western Europe. This was only a partial victory as the very European powers that ended slavery there, established slavery overseas, in their vast empires.

5. During the 18th and 19th Century, an abolition movement ended slavery in one after another country; e.g., ended slavery in the U.S. This was accomplished through various means, e.g., graduation emancipation in most northern states, abolition in a few of them, compensated emancipation in the British empire, as well as Civil War in the southern states.

6. At the end of the 19th Century, all the Christian, Islamic and independent countries of the world joined in a worldwide convention ending slavery. The independent countries of Asia soon joined into the convention.

7. Today, the problem of slavery is one of criminal behavior; e.g., human trafficking.

The black males that were sent back to the Arab countries were castrated.

What does Calypso Louie have to say about that?

I have read that Chad and Libya still practice slavery. Sex slavery, I have read, is still rampant throughout the Islamic nations.

Modern slavery (or, neo-slavery)

The two countries you cite (Libya and Chad) are failed states. There are others. Tribes do as they want. We civilized humans aren’t far removed from savages.

Other contemporary forms of slavery: North Korea and Cuba and possibly other countries rent out their people to other countries for hard currency or commodities in demand.

China uses prisoners as a source of slave labor, often meting out harsh sentences for minor crimes or no crimes at all. (In a similar fashion, it executes criminals for organs.)

Saudi Arabia allows guest workers some or even many of whom are treated like slaves.

Criminal gangs kidnap or entice girls into lives as prostitute using a combination of coercive force and drugs.

Louis is a con artist, a Black carpet bagger. He has conned and ripped of thousands of Blacks for his own personal gain.
