The Innocence of Islamic Jihad – Full Movie

This excellent video points out the fact that Islam is Islam; there is no moderate or extreme form of it. Believers are violent because of what they believe: Allah’s imperatives contained in 8:12, 8:39, 9:29 & 9:123, his threat contained in 9:38-39 and his promise contained in 9:111 & 61:10-12.

If we would win this war, we must cause them to quit believing; to destroy their faith as described by Brig. S.K. Malik on page 60 of “The Quranic Concept of War”.

A jihad against non-Muslims is allowed by sharia law. Jihads allowed Muslims to slave raid against the non-Muslim world. Muslims believe slavery is a divine blessing for mankind because pagans, and barbarians through jihad, and slavery are brought to Islam, and civilisation. The greatest of all medieval Arab social thinkers was the 14th century historian Ibn Khaldun. He wrote “who were brought to the Land of Islam under the rule slavery, which hides in itself a divine blessing. By means of slavery they learn glory and blessing and are exposed to divine providence; cured by slavery, they enter the Muslim religion with the firm resolve of true believers and yet the nomadic virtues unsullied by debased nature, unadulterated by the filth of pleasure, undefiled by ways of living.”
The Qur’an accepts slavery. It recognises the inequality between master, and slave, and the rights of the master over the slave. It also recognises concubinage “Successful indeed are the believers. Those who offer their prayers with all solemnity and full submissiveness. And those who turn away from all that Allah has forbidden. And those who pay the Zakat. And those who guard their chastity except from their wives or that their right hands possess-for then, they are free from blame.” Qur’an 23:1-6. Another example is Qur’an 70:29-30. The Qur’an urges but does not demand kindness to slaves “Worship Allah and join none with Him in worship, and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, the poor who beg, the neighbour who is near of kin, the neighbour who is a stranger, the companion by your side, the wayfarer, and those whom your right hands possess. Verily, Allah does not like such as are proud and boastful.” Qur’an 4:36. “Whom your right hands possess” means slaves, and sex slaves. And “O you who believe! Let your legal slaves and slave-girls, and those among you who have not come to the age of puberty ask your permission on three occasions; before morning prayer, and while you put off your clothes for the noonday, and after the late night prayer. These three times are of privacy for you, other than these times there is no sin on you or on them to move about, attending you each other. Thus Allah makes clear the verses of this Qur’an to you. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.” Qur’an 24:58. The slave was chattel with no legal powers, or rights. A slave could marry but only if his master allowed it “And whoever of you have not the means wherewith to wed free, believing women, they may wed believing girls from among the captives and slaves whom your right hands posses, and Allah has full knowledge about your Faith, you are one from another. Wed them with the permission of their masters and give them their bridal-money according to what is reasonable; the captives and slave girls should be chaste, not adulterous, nor taking boy-friends. And after they have been taken in wedlock, if they commit illegal sexual intercourse, their punishment is half that for free unmarried women. This is for him among you who is afraid of being harmed in his religion or in his body; but it is better for you to restrain yourself, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” Qur’an 4:25. Slaves were exchanged as compensation for killing another Muslim. The family of the deceased would receive the slave, or slaves as compensation Qur’an 4:92. It is true one good act was to free a slave but this only proves Islam recognises, and institutionalised slavery “And shown him the two ways of good and evil? But he has made no effort to pass on the path that is steep. And what will make you know the path that is steep? It is freeing the neck of a slave. Or giving food in a day of hunger to an orphan near of kin. Or to a poor afflicted with misery.” Qur’an 90:10-16. “Narrated by Abu Huraira: ‘The Prophet said: ‘Whoever frees a Muslim slave, Allah will save all the parts of his body from the Fire, as he has freed the body-parts of the slave.” Sahih Bukhari Vol.3 Hadith No.693. But this act of piety is only for Muslim slaves. Is it the same for disbelieving slaves?

The Qur’an says Islamic hell is full of chained Black skinned people. Is this why white Arab Muslims enslaved non-Muslim Black Africans the most because it was a holy duty? For every one Black slave who survived the tran Saharan, Red Sea, and Indian Ocean passages to the auction blocks in Muslim lands, 6 would die along the passage. Europeans practised slavery for 400 years. Arab Muslims practised slavery since the beginning of Islam to 1980. They practised it for almost 14 centuries. 11500000 Black slaves traveled across the Atlantic Ocean. 10500000 survived to the auction blocks in the Americas. 22000000 Black slaves survived to the auction blocks in the Muslim lands. More than 110000000 Black slaves died traveling along the Muslim passages.
By 652 Arab-Muslims began to raid wars into the Black Nubian Christian Kingdoms of Nobatia, and Makkura. Arab-Muslims tried to colonise the Black Christian Nubian Kingdoms of Nobatia, Makurra, and Alwa. When they failed at first they made a treaty between them in Egypt, and the Black Christian Nubian Kingdoms demanding Black slaves from Nubia as tribute every year. This was the first treaty ever made by a Arab-Muslim state demanding slaves as tribute from a non-Muslim state. This tribute lasted every year until the 12th century when the Muslims in Egypt fought wars against Nubia.
Black slaves were brought to the Islamic empire from the Tran Sahara, and along the Red Sea by ship, and across the Indian Ocean by ship from East Africa to Arabia, Persia, India, southeast Asia, and Indonesia, and China.
The oldest route was from the Sudan down the Nile to Egypt, and across the Red Sea to Arabia. This route began with the first slave tribute agreement forced by Arab-Muslims on Black Nubian Kingdoms. Today Sudan is Muslim but before it was the first sub Saharan Black Christian Kingdom in all of Africa. The Arabs raided West Africa for slaves since 738, and by 750 the tran Saharan trades began to increase. Around the year 800 trading towns are found on the East African coast such as Kilwa Kisiwani Mombasa in Kenya, and the Island of Zanzibar. East African Black slaves called Zanj worked in southern Iraq to drain salt flats, and other Black slaves were forced to work in salt mines in the Sahara, and the gold mines of West Africa. Cotton, sugar, and rice was worked by Black slaves on Arab-Muslim plantations in North Africa, and later by the Ottoman Turks.
A 7th century poet wrote in Arabic “I am being led in Damascus without honour as though I am a slave from Zanj.” In 765 a revolt of Black African slaves occurred in the second holiest Muslim city Medina in Arabia. In the Muslim countryside Black slaves were forced on plantations, and large groups to work in agriculture, mines, marshes. In eastern Arabia 30000 Black slaves were forced to do the hard work. Tens of thousands of East African Black slaves who worked in the salt flats of Basra Iraq removed, and stacked the topsoil to clear the land for sugar, and to extract the saltpetre. They were treated horribly, and revolted several times against their Arab-Muslim masters. In 869 the first Black Zanj slave revolt occurred southeast of Baghdad. These Black slaves worked in salt flats, and on sugarcane plantations, and revolted against their Muslim slave owners. In 874 the second Black Zanj slave revolt began. Black slaves working in the salt flats southeast of Baghdad again revolted against their Muslim slave owners. The Black Zanj slaves were led by Riyah ‘the lion of the Zanj’. They defeated the Abbasid Caliph al-Mutamid’s forces, and stopped commerce for 15 years. From 868 to 883 they became a military threat to the Abbasid Caliphate in Baghdad. They were masters of southern Iraq, and Basra. But they were defeated by the forces of the Caliph’s brother al-Muwaffaq. Later slaves in the region tried to renew the revolt but Muslims massacred 10000 slaves near Monsul.

Ahmad Tulun was the first independent ruler of Muslim Egypt. He relied on Nubian Black slaves for his army, and had 45000 Blacks when he died in 884. When the Tulunids were overthrown in 905 by the Abbasid Caliphate to annexe Egypt back to its empire the caliph massacred the Nubian Black army of the Tulunids, and burned their quarters “Then the cavalry turned against the cantonments of the Tulunid blacks, seized as many of them as they couldn’t, and took them to Muhammad ibn Sulayman. He was on horseback, amid his escort. He gave orders to slaughter them, and they were slaughtered in his presence like sheep.” In Baghdad in 930 the Black army was attacked, and massacred by the Arab cavalry, and the people. Their quarters were burned. Afterwards, Black soldiers almost disappeared from the armies of the Caliphate in the Middle East.
During the Crusades the Muslim leader Saladin in 1169 killed a Black eunuch who wanted to remove Saladin from power. The Black army in Cairo was angry when they heard about this. All the 50000 Black soldiers united together against Saladin, and his army, and fought them between the palaces of the caliph, and vizier. They were defeated because they were betrayed by the Fatimid Caliph al-Adid. The Black soldiers thought they were defending him against the vizier “Al-Adid had gone up to his tower to watch the battle between the palaces. It is said that he ordered the men in the palace to shoot arrows, and throw stones at Saladin’s troops, and they did so. Others say that this was not done by his choice. Shams al-Dawla sent naptha-throwers to burn down al-Adid’s tower. One of them was about to do this when the door of the tower opened, and out came a caliphal aide, who said: ‘The commander of the Faithful greets Saladin’s brother Shams al-Dawla, and says: ‘Beware of the black slave dogs! Drive them out of the country!’ The blacks were sustained by the belief that al-Adid was pleased with what they did. When they heard this, their strength was sapped, their courage waned, and they fled.” Also Saladin’s army attacked their homes. Saladin sent his soldiers to the Black quarters “to burn them down on their possessions, and their children.” When the Black soldiers heard this they returned home but were caught in the streets by Saladin’s army, and destroyed. This battle in Arabian history was known as “The Battle of the Blacks”, and “The Battle of the Slaves.”

Islam was spread by tran Saharan Arab traders to West Africa in the 11th century. Islam spread to sub Saharan Africa in 1070. The Almohades came to rule a massive colonial empire from Spain, and Portugal across the Mediterranean Sea down to sub Saharan Africa near Burkina Faso. They ruled for a century, and traded in Black slaves, gold, ivory. They slave raided pagan Black societies. In 1076 the Muslim black kingdom of Ghana was invaded by the Almoravids. The author Idrisi (1110-1165) also wrote that Moroccan merchants in Takur “bring wood, copper, and beads, and take away gold and slaves.”
In West Africa the Kingdom of Mali arose in the 13th century. Its wealth came from controlling rich goldfields. Tran Saharan trade through caravans of camels grew. Caravan routes grew rapidly at centres where Arab Muslims traded cloth, glass, horses, luxuries from North Africa for Black slaves, ivory, and gold. In 1433 Muslim forces led by Akil captured the city of Timbuktu the cultural centre of the Mali Empire. Later the Kingdom of Songhai replaced Mali as the biggest power in West Africa by 1500. Morocco invaded, and destroyed the sub Saharan Black Muslim Songhai kingdom in 1591 at Tondibi. Arab Muslim Morocco now had a colonial empire which reached close to Burkina. Black male, and female slaves were used for hard labour for money in the salt mines, gold mines, copper mines of the Sahara. The great Muslim geographer Ibn Battuta (1304-1377) wrote of Tagadda in West Africa “From this country come excellent slavegirls, eunuchs, and fabrics dyed with saffron.” Later when Ibn Battuta left for North Africa on September 11, 1353 he wrote he traveled “with a large caravan which included six hundred women slaves.” The greatest medieval Muslim historian the 14th century Ibn Khaldun wrote about the people of West Africa “Therefore, the Negro nations are, as a rule, submissive to slavery, because Negroes have little that is human and have attributes quite similar to those of dumb animals, as we have stated.” He later writes about the Black people south of West Africa “beyond them to the south there is no civilisation in the proper sense. There are only humans who are closer to dumb animals than to rational beings. They live in thickets and caves, and eat herbs and unprepared grain. They
frequently eat each other. They cannot be considered human beings.”

Around the year 800 trading towns are found on the East African coast such as Kilwa Kisiwani Mombasa in Kenya, and the Island of Zanzibar. Arab traders introduced Islam to East Africa in the 10th century. There were Islamic trading towns in East Africa from the Horn of Africa of Somalia to northern Mozambique. In 915 the Arabian geographer Abul-Hasan Ali al-Masudi wrote about the slave trade on the east coast of Africa. He wrote slaves were being traded at Kilwa, and Mombasa, and were transported to Arab settlements. A large scale network of slave trading existed in the Indian Ocean region in which Black East African people were captured, enslaved, and transported. East African Blacks were exported to the Arabian peninsula, Persia, Madagascar, India, southeast Asia, and China. In the tenth century Mutahhar ibn Tahir al-Maqdisi wrote “To the Zanj food and clothing are exported; from them come gold, slaves, and coconuts.”
There are medieval accounts where Black Africans from Madagascar were taken as slaves to the markets of Arabia, and the Middle East. Arab slave traders would sail, and trade, or sell Black slaves from the Swahili East African coast to work on the plantations on Madagascar. Muslim Swahili Arabs would slave raid on the Comoro Island, and on Kilwa, Ibo, Mozambique Island, and Querimba. Other Muslim Arab slave traders exported Black African slaves from Nosy Be, and Oman. Slave raiding, and trading occurred from the Horn of Africa to Sofala. In 900 Burzurg ibn Shahriyar a merchant and navigator of the Persian Gulf wrote Kitab al-Ajaib al-Hind. Arab merchants from Oman sailed regularly to East Africa to search for slaves, purchase, and trade them. Burzurg wrote about sailing trips, and it talks about slave trading on the coast of East Africa. Here he wrote about a African King taken captive along with his companions, and was sold into slavery in Oman “When everything was in order, and the king knew of our intention to set sail, he accompanied us to the shore with several of his people, got into one of the boats and came out to the ship with us. He even came on board with seven of his companions. When I saw them there, I said to myself: In the Oman market this young king would certainly fetch thirty dinars, and his seven companions sixty dinars. Their clothes along are not worth less than twenty dinars. One way and another this would give us a profit of at least three thousand dinars, and without any trouble. Reflecting thus, I gave the crew their orders. They raised the sails and weighed anchor…When the day came, the king and his companions were put with the other slaves whose number reached about 200 head. He was not treated differently from his companions in captivity. The king said not a word and did not even open his mouth. He behaved as if we were unknown to him and as if we did not know him. When he got to Oman, the slaves were sold, and the king with them.”

The Chinese saw this also. In 1000 the Chinese traded with the coast of East Africa which they called Po-pa-li. They Chinese were aware of an early slave trade in the Indian Ocean. They were aware Black Africans of East Africa were kidnapped, and sold as slaves by Arabian, and Persian merchants. They traded with African slaves from Malindi, and sold them to China. “The country of Po-pa-li is in the southwestern sea. The people do not eat any of the five grains but east only meat. They often stick a needle into the veins of cattle and draw blood which they drink raw, mixed with milk. They wear no clothes except that they cover the parts below their loins with sheepskins. Their women are clean and of proper behaviour…If Persian merchants wish to go into their country, they collect around them several thousand men and present them with strips of cloth. All, whether old or young draw blood and swear an oath, and then only do they trade their products. From olden times they were not subject to any foreign country. In fighting they use elephants’ tusks and ribs and the horns of wild buffaloes as lances and they wear cuirasses and bow and arrows. They have twenty myriads of foot soldiers. The Arabs make frequent raids upon them.”
The author Idrisi (1110-1165) wrote “The Zanj are in great fear and awe of the Arabs, so much so that when they seen an Arab trader or traveler they bow down and treat him with great respect, and say in their language: ‘Greeting, O people from the land of the dates!’ Those who travel to this country steal the children of the Zanj with dates, lure them with dates, and lead them from place to place, until they seize them, take them out of the country, and transport them to their own countries. The Zanj people have great numbers but little gear. The ruler of the island of Kish in the sea of Umar raids the Zanj country with his ships and takes many captives.”
By the middle 11th century there was extensive slave trading from Ras Asir ‘the cape of slaves’, and Pemba to China for ceramics, and luxury goods.
In 1178 another Chinese author Chou Chu-fei wrote the travel account Ling-wai-tai-ta which described the slave trading in East Africa “There is an island in the sea on which there are many savages. Their bodies are black as lacquer and they have frizzled hair. They are enticed by food and then captured and sold as slaves to the Arabic countries, where they fetch a very high price. They are employed as gate-keepers, and it is said that they have no longing for their kinfolk…thousands of them are sold as foreign slaves.” “And it is said that they have no longing for their kinfolk?” Was this a lie white Arab Muslims created to convince the Chinese their slave raiding, and slave trading of Black Africans was alright?
During the 12th, and 13th centuries many Black African people were bought on the islands of Zanzibar, and Pemba, and then sailed to the Arabian peninsula where they were forced to find pearls in the Persian Gulf. In 1437 there were reports of Black East Africans being traded as slaves in western India. In 1486 Black African slaves in India began a revolt, and killed the Sultan of Bengal. They made their leader of the revolt their new sultan. But many of the rebels were later punished by being exiled to the Deccan region of India. Muslim slave raiders began raiding the interior traveling as far as Lake Victoria, and the Upper Congo. They marched large number of slaves chained together in groups for sailing transport to Zanzibar, and used on plantations, or shipped to Arabia, Iraq, Iran, and Turkey. In 1844 Muslim Arabs established a slave trading centre along the East African coast at Unyamwezi near Tabora in Tanzania.
From the late 18th century, and after African slaves were still being caught in jihads, transported, and sold in the markets of North Africa, and the Middle East. The 19th century Moroccan Muslim historian Ahmad ibn Khalid al-Nasiri (1834-97) wrote “a manifest and shocking calamity widespread and established since of old in the lands of the Maghrib-the unlimited enslavement of the blacks, and the importation of many droves of them every year for sale in the town and country markets of the Maghrib, where men traffic in them like beasts, or worse.” An Arab Muslim Tunisian traveler who visited Darfur at the beginning of the 19th century wrote about farms where Blacks were reproduced for sale “Certain rich people living in the town have installed these blacks from the mountains on their farms, to have them reproduce, and as we sell sheep and cattle, so they, every year, sell those of their children that are ready for this. There are some of them who own five or six hundred male and female slaves, and merchants come to them at all times, to buy male and female slaves chosen to be sold.” We were sold, and used as slaves in your own continent of Africa.

Unlike the Qur’an the Bible said slavery is an evil sin “We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers-and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.”
1 Timothy 1:8-11 The abolition movement began in late 18th century England when Christians like William Wilberforce made parliament stop the slave trade in their colonies across the Atlantic. Soon after other European countries ended slavery, and the slave trade in the early 19th century such as the Dutch, and French. Another Christian Dr. David Livingstone was able to travel to the inside of Africa. He saw how brutal the Arab slave trade was. He soon asked European politicians to end it. When European colonised Africa in the late 19th century they ended the Arab slave trade. The British sought to end the slave trade in the Ottoman Empire, and in 1890 the Ottoman Empire was forced to sign the Brussels Act which prohibited the slave trade in Africa.
The most popular slave routes were across the Sahara to Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. From the Sudan down the Nile, or through the desert to Egypt, Arabia, and the Middle East, and from East Africa across the Red Sea, and Indian Ocean to Arabia, Iraq, Iran, India, southeast Asia, Malaysia, Indonesia, and China. Later when the Europeans colonised Africa, and suppressed the Muslim slave trade only Libya was not run by Europeans. The traditional slave routes across the Sahara changed. Later routes led from Kano to Tripoli, and from Darfur, and Waday to Kufra, and Cyrenaica. Libya became a main slave trading centre in the 19th century. They also gained Black slaves from Chad, and Nigeria, and exported them to the Ottoman Empire’s colonies in the Balkans, and Asia.

Despite British anti-slave trade ships watching the Mozambique Channel, Swahili Arabs, and Muslim Indians were able to still sail Black African slaves to Madagascar, Arabia, Oman, Masqat, the Middle East, and Muslim parts of India in the late 19th century, and early 20th century. But the British, French, and Italian control of the Horn of Africa stopped the Arab slave traders from sailing Black African slaves to Arabia, and across the Indian Ocean. Another important slave trade centre was the Hijaz of western Saudi Arabia along the Red Sea. Mecca is the holiest city in Islam. Medina is the second holiest city in Islam. Mecca, and Medina are in the Hijaz. In 765 a revolt of Black African slaves occurred in the second holiest city Medina in Arabia. Because Mecca, and Medina was in the Hijaz they could still practise slavery in the 19th, and 20th century when other European ruled Muslim countries could not. The Ottoman Turks ruled Arabia, and were forced by Europeans to stop slavery in many Ottoman colonies but it was not possible to allow the end of the slave trade in Mecca, and Medina, and all the Hijaz. The religious centres of Mecca, and Medina resisted the most against the end of slavery. They saw slavery a institution permitted by the Qur’an, hadiths, and tradition. In Jedda some Muslims protested to the religious leaders in Mecca against the abolition of slavery. They said it was a horrible Christian idea. They also protested against other Christian ideas such as women’s rights, and tolerating religiously mixed marriages. They found all these ideas to be anti-Islamic. In the late 19th century Black African slaves were sailed from East Africa, and imported to the Hijaz. Later they would be slave traded to the north, and even Egypt. Slavery did not end in Saudi Arabia until 1962. It ended in Yemen in 1962 also. It ended in 1952 in Qatar, and 1963 in United Arab Emirates, and 1970 in Oman. The last country to end it was Mauritania in 1980. Balkan Christians were made also slaves by Turks because they rebelled against Turkey to make their countries in the Balkans free from Turkey. They were later freed from slavery.

Muslim pirates from North Africa enslaved 1250000 Europeans for a few centuries. The European men served in the armies of North Africa, and rowed as slaves in their ships. The women became concubines. These Muslim pirates enslaved mostly the Spanish, Portuguese, southern French, Italians, and Greeks. They also enslaved the northern French, some of the English, and Irish, and even enslaved some Europeans from Iceland. In 1627 four Algerian ships attacked several coastal communities of Iceland. They carried 380 Icelanders into slavery in North Africa. In the 16th, and 17th centuries there were 40000 European slaves in the city Algiers. There were tens of thousands of European slaves in other North African cities also. Muslim Tatars, and Turks also enslaved more than a million Russians, and Ukrainians. In 1575 Tatars made a slave raid in Ukraine, and captured 35000 Ukrainians. They were taken to the slave markets in Kaffa in the Crimea, and the slave markets of Istanbul. In 1676 the Tatars captured 40000 more slaves in Ukraine to be sold in the slave markets of Istanbul. In 1688 they slave raided again, and captured 60000 slaves to be sold as slaves in Kaffa, and Istanbul.
By 1400 the Ottoman Muslim Turks colonised the Balkans, and conquered Constantinople in 1453. Today Constantinople is Istanbul, and it proves of Ottoman Turks colonial past. Before Europe traders would travel across the Middle East to reach India, and China. But because of dhimmi discriminating custom duties against Christians, and because the Ottomans colonised Byzantium the Ottomans made it more difficult for Christians to travel east through Muslim colonial lands to reach India, and China. This is why 39 years after the Muslim Turks colonised Constantinople Columbus searched for a new way to reach the Far East. European colonialism of the Americas was caused by the Muslim Ottoman Turks. In the 16th century the Muslim Ottoman Turks controlled a massive colonial empire in North Africa up to Morocco, some of Sudan, and Eritrea.
The Armenians gained independence from Muslim rulers in 886. The Muslim Turks killed more than 1000000 Armenians in the Armenian Genocide. They still will not admit to it. Everybody knows they did it but they will not admit it. The Ottoman Muslim Turks immigrated Muslims to the Balkans, and Divine Discrimination against the European Christians forced many to convert to Islam. Today the Balkan Peninsula suffers from conflict, war, and genocide. It is called Balkanisation. It is the Ottoman Muslim Turk’s fault.

If there were so many Black slaves in the Muslim world then why are there not so many Blacks today like the Americas? Many reasons include Black eunuchs. Before Black African slaves arrived in the Muslim world they were castrated. European slaves were also castrated. Another reason is the low birth rate, and high death rate among Black slaves in North Africa, and Arabia, the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire, and Persia. White Arab Muslims did not take good care of all Black slaves because sub Sahara Africa is next to North Africa, and the Middle East. It was easier for white Arab Muslims to renew their Black slaves.
