#Slavery
“Then Anthony turned to his soldiers and solemnly explained his credo. ‘An intelligent gardener will burn those trees that are dried up and don’t yield fruit. +
... He will also burn those trees that cannot be transplanted from his rival’s garden into his own but will not destroy the trees capable of producing a good harvest in his garden. Similarly, however wanton and sinful they might be, women should not be burnt with their men. +
... Have you forgotten the example of the Muslims? They extracted maximum taxes from their defeated foes in the form of women and children. They enslaved children. The Greek children forgot who they were and regarded their parents as enemies. +
... When the boys became young men, they fought and killed Greeks. Islam grew in strength on the shoulders of such slaves. The number of slave women grew as well. Islam became a force to reckon with because of this policy. +
... When we came to Goa, we enslaved women and children, converting them to the Christian faith. As you know, their progeny now are more fanatically Christian than us!’
