Thread: Fiorina sings the praises of Islam, Ottoman Empire 'greatest civilization'

Thanks for your great post Newmexican.

There has been so much rewriting of history to assist the cultural Marxist’s inculcating guilt in the European mind. The Muslims were never nice or tolerant people. Most of their “culture” was simply confiscated booty from the Christians who were there before them.

Here is just a tiny bit more: And then there is slavery. The nearly complete abolition of legal slavery in Africa did not happen until the early 20th century because of Colonization by those "evil" white Europeans.

Historian Robert Davis in his book "Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters - White Slavery In the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast and Italy",estimates that North African Muslim pirates abducted and enslaved more than 1million Europeans between 1530 and 1780. These white Christians were seized in a series of raids which depopulated coastal towns from Sicily to Cornwall. Thousands of white Christians in coastal areas were seized every year to workas galley slaves, laborers and concubines for Muslim slave masters in what is today Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Libya. Villages and towns on the coast of Italy, Spain, Portugal and France were the hardest hit, but the Muslim slave raiders also seized people as far afield as Britain, Ireland and Iceland. They even captured 130 American seamen from ships they boarded in the Atlantic between 1785 and 1793.

This is just a tiny part of the “glorious” non Christian, non white history of the world.

Slavery, as an institution is multifaceted, and at times, a more confusing subject due to the lecturer's motives.
Slavery in Africa is in no way like its European counterpart. All systems of slavery, except European slavery, kept the slave's humanity from being debatable.
In Africa, your reputation depended on how well you treated your slaves. Slaves were legally allowed to get married. A slave
could even own a slave of his own. If an African mistreats a slave he could get into heavy trouble. Violating a slave (rape), would
get you killed.

In China, able bodied men would volunteer to be a slave to the emperor. They would volunteer to be castrated in order to work in the
emperor's house. The slave was to do the heavy lifting of maintaining the palace and serve as a "deputy" to help keep order.
Being castrated, you could pleasure the emperor's wife but never produce...

Europeans used chattel slavery. Sounds like cattle slavery. Recognizing a slave as a person became a problem in Euro-Slavery. Heard of the "Missouri Compromise".
I always thought that raping a "thing" was reprobate in nature. Hide the sheep, chickens and anything else with a hole...

Then people bring the Bible into the conversation. Jesus couldn't have been referring to "Euro-Slavery"
when he failed to condemn the practice of slavery.

...and there are others: Islamic slave systems, Aztecs...
