1. Non-MusIim Slaves and MusIim Masters
How did IsIamic kingdoms treat the societies, countries and citizens it defeated? In this thread, we will understand the problem just by looking at a series of paintings depicting non-Muslim women under IsIamic rule.
2. The painting is titled “The SIave Dealer” – painted in the year 1919 – by Otto Pilny, a Swiss artist. The slave dealer has just removed the clothes of the non-MusIim sIave girl, showing her ‘wares’ to a rich MusIim prince.
3. “The SIave Market” – 1910 – Otto Pilny. A scene from the Arab-Turkish sIave market is shown where non-MusIim sIave women are sold like cattle in open market, completely naked!
4. “The Horse or the SIave” - Otto Pilny. A non-MusIim sIave is paraded naked, for the same price as a horse, and the buyer has to choose between sexual pleasure or the convenience in transportation. (Most sIave girls were from the Caucasus, Russia or other European countries)
5. “The SIave Market” – 1866 – Jean Leon Gerome, a French painter. This painting shows a white non-MusIim girl being sold in market, and the prospective MusIim buyers checking whether she has full teeth or not.
6. “Pool in a Harem” – 1875 – Jean Leon Gerome. A view inside an lsIamic harem. Notice the sexual slaves who were always white girls from Europe. And the black sIaves were used for menial jobs.
7. “SIave Market” – Fabio Fabbi, an Italian painter. MusIim traders are parading Greek women naked in market for buyers. So many Balkan, Russian girls were kidnapped in sIave raids, that the very word ‘slave’ originates in ‘Slav’, the word for all the Slavic people.
8. “The Booty” – Fabio Fabbi. MusIim pirates displaying their non-MusIim ‘merchandise’, acquired in a typical raid, to a MusIim prince.
9. “Her Master’s Choice” – Fabio Fabbi. Non-MusIim slave girls for sale in IsIamic sIave markets.
Imagine being naked in a market where everyone else, including men, is overdressed.
10. “The Favorite” – Fabio Fabbi
11. “The Bitter Draught of SIavery” – 1885 – Ernest Normand – English Painter. One of the most evocative of all, this painting shows a sIave trader urging hard to the very old MusIim chief to buy the white Christian slave for his harem. African slaves are used for menial labor.
12. “The SIave Merchant” – 1867 – Louis Devedeux. A Turkish chief inspecting the ‘wares’ of a half-naked Christian s€x-sIave.
13. “Sale of a Child SIave” – 1872 – Vasili Verschagin. One of the most devastating of all, this painting shows a naked child sold for sexuaI sIavery in Central Asia (Turkestan), to a holy man of lsIam.
14. ‘White sIavery’ is a dirty secret of lsIam. At the height of their powers MusIim countries were very fond of keeping white slave girls for sexuaI sIavery. These raids were so frequent that Europe developed pirate tradition as a counter-balance to lsIamic sIave raids from sea.
15. Greece, Balkans, Russia, the Caucasus, Italy, Sicily, southern France, England, Scotland and even Iceland were raided for Christian sIave girls and other booty by IsIamic pirates originating from North Africa and Ottoman Empire. Entire coasts were depopulated due to this.
16. While Europe was raided for girls for sexuaI sIavery, Africa was depopulated for black sIaves for menial jobs. They were called ‘habshis’. And the Turks and Arabs were so racist that most of these black slaves were castrated so they could not even reproduce.
17. Quran indicates sIavery: (Chapter 33: Verse 50) O Prophet, We have made lawful for you your wives whose bridaI dues you have paid, and the sIave-girls you possess from among the prisoners of war, and the daughters of your paternal uncles and paternal aunts…
18. One of the most horrible chapters in the history of sIave trading is the chapter of lsIamic sIavery of whites and blacks. When Europeans set out for Americas and India after Reconquista they actually took a leaf out of the lsIamic book of sIavery. Read this book to know more.
