Really?
Muslims never sold slaves to Europeans?
Did you know that Muslims took more slaves out of Africa than Europeans?
Did you know that often the male received a surgical procedure to ensure he could not procreate?
Did you know that there was a significant number that died during the procedure?
Did you know there were uprisings due to the harsh conditions they were forced to live under?
But hey, that's okay. Ignore that to condemn all people of European descent.
FTR I believe the "peculiar institution" was sin and often heinous. It should be discussed and told so future generations are not tempted to repeat that history - regardless of color. The problem with today is that people forget the many Europeans that fought to end the institution. That never gets discussed, only the perpetuation of hate towards all Europeans. Then, the Muslim world is given a pass and it is anathema to mention the heinous acts of Islamic slavery. That is total hypocrisy. Muslims still enslave people today, ask the Yazidis...
