Due to the rigorous efforts of Somalis on this channel and my Facebook and my Instagram and my Discord, I have to clarify that my source does not state (neither do I, in the video) that it was ethnic Somalis who were enslaved in large volume. There are various ethnic groups in Somalia and it might have been meant towards another group, specifically, Somali Bantus. My apologies for the confusion.
The Somali people embraced Islam willingly before the majority of Arabs due to the initial emigration of the first generation of Muslims out of Mecca into Abyssinia unlike Muslims in Pakistan or India who became Muslim through being enslaved and conquered by the Persian Mughals. Secondly, Somalis were never enslaved. Ethnic Somalis were part of the slave trade as slavers themselves, capturing peoples from modern day Tanzania and Mozambique who now constitute the Bantu population. There were also slaves of South Asian and Portuguese descent in the Sultanate of Mogadishu and the Somali Ajuraan Empire during the medieval period.

Man this somaliss are liers , somaliss ethiopeans modern day eastern Africa or horn of Africa where either surrender and accepted they saved themself from slavery by becoming next to the throne , untill today they are next to the Arabs , Arabia and increasing number , not only them Egypt north Africa and all of them. Thank u for ur effort and thank u but u didn't mention the slaves for America's who started it was by British or European or Arabs , and what do u mean by arab ?? Because we are not Arabs originally but if I say my country u will consider it . And that if it's a language , because so many Europeans and north American are so into calling everyone Arab
@森林雪 within islam ? you mean within arabs? prophet is racist lol didnt he say there is no favor of a black of white or white over black the best within you is the most righteous ? THE FIRST muslim who did the islamic call for prayer was black the fuck are saying
@森林雪 Hadiths are written by anyone and can change just like the talmud if you have read it. Slavery was mainly for war prisoners and it could be anyone white,black or Asian. Baibar was a slave until he came a sultan same with malik ambar.
@@shoaibrizno one is denying the West engaged in slave trade. We have dozens of books written on the matter. There are many movies made on the subject as well. How many of those you have on the Arab Slave Trade.
Yes, it is my opinion that blacks that converted to Islam were brainwashed, but their conversion was less the result of lack of knowledge of history, but rather their personal experience at the hands of European/American Christians. We failed in our duty to treat them as brothers so they went to worship God elsewhere. To their credit, they still chose God since atheism and paganism were not valid options.
As an Arab myself, this is a topic we must discuss and come to terms with. Sugarcoating or suppressing the parts of our history that we don't like will not help advance as a civilization and people. Yes it is a shameful part of our history, but we can either run from it or learn from it.
@theworld lol, so much ignorance. ISLAM is the only religion that spread by peaceful means like preaching and without violence and force-converstaions. the proofs for that are very apparent and simple most of muslim-majority areas are areas that were never invaded by a muslim force/army. muslim armies never went into places like south east asia (where the biggest muslim communities on the planets is) and africa (except for the northern coasts which were invaded by muslim armies). therefore, there has never been an authority or force that could have forced the people to convert to islam in all those areas. but you can still find the biggest muslims populations in these area, which proves that people converted to islam easily without anybody forcing them, because there had been no muslım authority that could have forced the people to convert to anything. moreover, even in those areas which were conquered by the muslims and which were under islamic rule, the non-muslim people there could freely practice their religion without any problems. the proof for that is also very apparent and simple: areas like the middle east had been under muslim rule for about 1400 years, yet you can see 14 million christians in the middle east, who have been living with muslims under muslim rule for 1300 years. apparently, nobody has force-converted them or their ancestors to islam, nor has anybody expelled them or massacred them. that clearly showes that islam was not spread by the sword, because othwerwise there would not have been a single Arab who would have remained a Christian. even the ancient christian churches (like the old coptic egypitan churches that are up to 1600 years old) are still standing without damage, after been under under muslim rule for 1400 years. nobody had destroyed them or damaged them. also the non-muslim historian De Lacy O'Leary said in the book "Islam at the cross road" (Page 8) "History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myth that historians have ever repeated." or other hisotrians like JAMES A. MICHENER says: "No other religion in history spread so rapidly as Islam.. The West has widely believed that this surge of religion was made possible by the sword. But no modern scholar accepts that idea, and the Qur'an is explicit in support of the freedom of conscience."/SLAM THE MISUNDERSTOOD RELIGION, READERS DIGEST (Amorican Edition) May 1955 EDWARD GIBBON: "The greatest success of Mohammed's life was effected by sheer moral force without the stroke of a sword." H/STORY OF THE SARACEN EMPIRE, London, 1870 A. S. TRITTON: "The picture of the Muslim soldier advancing with a sword in one hand and the Qur'an in the other is quite false " ISLAM, London, 1951, p. 21 in fact, the muslims are not even allowed to force any to islam. because the Quran says "Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error" [AI-Qur'an 2:256] the islamic caliphates were very tolerant towards non-muslim minorities and even granted them benefits from the islamic social system, treated them equally and allowed them to judge with their own christians and jewish laws when they had issues amongst themselfes (note: the islamic system is the only system in history that allows other religious minorities to judge with their own respective laws in court. No other system has ever granted such a high level of tolerance to other minorities). morevoer, the islamic world was always a place of refuge for minorities that were persecuted by other nations. minorities, especially the jews, fled always to islamic lands (usually to islamic spain, north africa or the ottomen empire) after they were persecuted especially by the european. in islamic lands he jews and other minorites were protected and lived in peace, to such an extent, that the jews experienced their so called "golden age" under the islamic sharia law in al andalus. even today those former european jews have communities in north africa (most jews migrated to the jewsh state after it was establi shed on palestinian soil) But unfortunately, most other religions were spread mostly by violence, like ashoka who spread buddhism by killing several hundred of thousands, or chnstianity that were spread outsi de of europ, by the crusader wars (6 million people killed) and during the european colonial era (hundred of millions of people killed)
@theworld dude how can you be so dishonest. You're like a stone with a predetermined opinion, not wiling to accept facts. i have shown clear proves for my claims while you loser haven't shown any evidences just random claims without any backings. with such an attitude, you will always be sad and loser in your life, iA
sieg fried, iA false. After Prophet Muhammad died, many of his followers apostasized. It took Caliph Abu Bakr the “Ridda Wars” to regain all the apostates and their territories, go read about it.
People only tend to forget that it would be very likely for the West to trade in slaves and have slaves if it weren't for the industrialisation, which in turn could't have happened of it weren't for the wealth Europe got from the atlantic slave trade
Majority of people in the Arab world know it existed but most of them believe it ended once Islam came to light and will RARELY admit to the atrocities this involved. Glad this video exists.
@@limitless8509 lol Arabs did not start enslaving people after Islam. They have been doing it long before that. It was also not exclusive to black people... Using this to justify your dislike for the religion is what you're aiming at and I am not here for it.
@tokii hikoo i think you dont even know your own country history. Your country was living a peaceful life, citizens happily following their Culture until the Islam conquest,, the religion of peace , do you like how that place is today? You were not arabs, go and search for your ancestral origin,,,they arabized you and you lost your identity. Now youre living a life of another country, Saudi while they are enjoying oil and hajj money, you are praying in hunger. If you dont know history, try to read. Im a student of knowledge both Islam and science. If you doubt arab enslaving Africa, go and read on the Zanj rebellion in 871 AD in Basra, Iraq. Arabs treatment of Black slaves were different from White slaves, they castrated most of the males and made them to be bathing royals and some working in mosques. Saudi Arabia stopped slave bussiness in 1967, under pressure from great Britain, another slave masters. We cannot bury our dirty past with lies, we can only learn from it, So that we dont repeat such mistakes. Islam makes you feel everybody hates you, but it isnt True. It makes you think People that leave the religion are evil People, some leave for genuine reasons, for identifying that something is wrong. Im not replying in anger whatsoever, just want you to ponder upon this, look at the world today. Do you think if everybody was a muslim, everyone Will be happy? Life Will be good for everyone? Today, When muslims are being attacked in their countries, they dont go to the giant oil Nations like Saudi etc, they Rush to Europe. Think about that. Saudi is doing bussiness with the religion, and that should tell you where that religion is steming from, all the practices that were happening in pagan era is being practiced by you today, but because of the deceit Allah is the god of Abraham, its seen to be normal but its pagan practice. Abraham never did those things, Alsarfa and marwah are never signs of Abraham God,, they a male and female deities Who had sex in that place and were cursed into Mountains, at the pagan era,,.. please i entreat you to read, seek knowledge, dont get angry with my reply, im a peaceful person. Work Hard and make life better for yourself and People, it all begins with education, because education is medication...
In college, a Saudi Arabian classmate told me the Arabs actually started the African slave trade. I was shocked because I was only taught about the European slave traders and owners. Thank you for this lesson.
Illa Hilda Sissac, and Africans, too. During wars between tribes, the CONQUERING tribe enslaved the CONQUERED tribe and sold them to the Arabs and Europeans. I believe EVERYONE should be taught THE TRUTH, acknowledge what happened, apologize, and work hard to treat each other better.
bruh so many islamophobs in this comment section. they literary came to spread hate against arab/muslim/islam. they don't have other job actually. they can't sleep or eat without hating arab/muslim/islam.

Its high time people learn that Slavery was global and no nation or race is free from indulging in it. And learning history like this makes us learn what we want for our future
True! But people here are stuck blaming white people today for slavery when all races did it, along with taking down historic statues/vandalizing monuments. Just a gaslight to more racial tensions.
@@jaymedina76 hey man, what I want to add. You should not try to cure whole world. Better cure yourself. If you do not support slavery. Then, wether any sky book say it is right. You won't follow it. That's it.
So white people sold other white people into slavery? The Vikings raided settlements in France, Britain, and Ireland and also demanded tributes of slaves from the Eastern Slavic communities in Russia and Finnish farming communities...hence the word slave from the Slavic. So when someone states,”well black people sold their own people,”couldn’t it also be said that white people sold their own? I never liked it when some tried to justify that practice... well you sold your own. As if that should make it alright and somehow lessen the culpability of those engaging in this practice. Wrong is wrong no matter who does it.
@Hamoody Deeb i know my history. The Only african people who have conquered the land are the zaghawa people. It was later conquered by arabs. They also brought some people from that area to Iraq for example
It's not all correct though." He said a black can never hold any position." But a black slave Bilal became Prophet Muhammad's best friend and right hand man And general etc
The reason why the American slave trade even happened was because there are already established "markets" for slaves, there is also a misconception that Medieval Europe didn't have slaves or that they had many well not really, its not that they had any problems owning people its just that Christians are excluded and because slaves are just not economically viable at the time. (you have to feed, house and keep them mildly healthy which is kinda expensive for the time only when the Americas was discovered and the plantations built was when the costs became managable even Profitable to Europe.)
They have been bewitched by the hatred in Koran. Maybe they should watch David Woods and apostate prophet videos to find out how Mohammad didn't give a damn about dark skins lol. They love Arabs more They love their Africans roots. Too bad
Their where many more that died from being castrated too. In Tanzania we are still finding bones of slaves at the beaches of some costal towns like bagamoyo.

I’m from Morocco and unfortunately non of this is being taught in schools. Unfortunately cities like Marrakech, Fez and Essaouira were big slave markets. The derogatory term in Tamazight for a black person is Assouki (“of the market”) and that term is still used today.
i’m Arab and studying about this in my uni. i knew that slavery existed in the Arab world and modern slavery still do exist in here and many other countries. but i definitely didn’t know that it was bigger then the transatlantic trade it’s shameful. i think there is a lot of problems in our modern society but i see change in the new generation. i know that most of the region doesn’t have time to develop but people who are privileged to have education ( like myself) should have responsibility to share this information with our community and i do hope they start teaching this in schools.
@@dollartreeshark6786 Given that the arab slave trade was around longer that doesn't say much. The Atlantic slave trade did a lot and came close despite being around less long. Humans can suck regardless of race.
Thank you for bringing up this topic. As a Muslim, I am appalled by the way Muslim preachers condemn the transatlantic slave trade and completely forfeit the similarity atrocious Arab slave trade. Even more appalling was the attitude of Muslim scholars in the past 2 centuries against the abolition, claiming slavery is a God sanctioned institution. We need to stand up and acknowledge our past wrongdoings to protect our future.
The Arab slave trade was the longest and most brutal. Still today in every Arab gulf countries the Rich can own a Black person as a house slave they just call them house maids or house help to make it sound better
@@lillyo4119 This is false. I lived in the Arabian Gulf and most domestic workers were not black but Filipino followed by Indians. They are deprived of many rights yet they are definitely not slaves and are given wages for work.
The Arab slave trade flourished after these people were exiled from Spain. The US slave trade flourished when these same people arrived in New Amsterdam, now called New York.
@@4hm3dhm I absolutely agree brother. A lot of muslims are in denial, claiming false info or even Islamophobia as soon as something they don't know about that is bad is brought up. Most muslims I know never even heard about the first fitna and the battle of the camel, let alone the Arabic slave trade. They are afraid to learn, not thinking that if people like the quraysh were afraid to learn too back then, Islam never would have spread.
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: وَرَجُلٌ بَاعَ حُرًّا فَأَكَلَ ثَمَنَهُ Allah will oppose a man who sells a free person and consumes the price. Source: Sahih Bukhari 2114, Grade: Sahih Slavery in Islam is not the slavery you see in America’s past
You didn't mention any male castration of African slaves which was very common. This is well documented. Seems like you have left out this detail on purpose for whatever reason. I do not belive this was a mistake due to quailty of the video. The video is very informative, and well made, great job.
Arabs never carried out the procedure of castration because it was forbidden in Islam. It was banned in all Islamic empires They instead purchased them from abroad, mostly from the Slavic countries and some from Ethiopia habasha lands, because they were best suited for oversee the harems.
Well arab slavery, unlike European’s, was not directed at black people... In North Africa we enslaved everybody... White, Brown, Black, Yellow... an estimated 3 millions white europeans, mostly women were captured and enslaved by north africans... so dont be mad at us... cheers.
Rascal von Manor the term « Moor » or « Mauro » in spanish/portuguese comes from Moor Akush ( Marra-kech) which means the ´Land of God’ in berber language. When spain was under their rule, the berbers/arabs rulers would introduce themselves as being from « Moor Akush » the land of god... thats why spanish associated this term with brown people. It was used by spanish people later to describe people from north Africa. Negro means black in Spanish... But the moors were not blacks as Afro Americans tend to believe. Just go to any museum in Morocco and you’d see the truth with your own eyes.
Finally someone is telling about the Arab slave trade, i'm from South Sudan so i definitely know about this it's a shame that African Muslims mostly don't feel confrontable with HISTORY because of who did it.
Slavery wasn't targeted for black people It was targeted for everyone Europeans too from spain prob Arabs wherent Racist like the Europeans Arabs took everyone 3000000~ where white Of course black people where more because you they where closer to get Just go south and you will find Black people
@Nazim Dean arabs slavery commonly known by muslim since slavery happened way before islam and it's mentioned in quran and one of prophet companion bilal is an ex slave
@@imcloud305 That's a huge misrepresentation. Both the European and Arab slave trade (but I'll also cover other Muslims) were based on religion, initially at least. However, prices varied along races. E.g. white women were significantly worth more than other women, bonus points for blue eyes or blond and red hair. Arabs mostly had slaves from Africa, Turks mostly from Europe and Berbers from both. Muslims just couldn't be slaves. Just like in Europe Christians couldn't be slaves. Of course due to Europeans building global empires they came across non-muslims of certain skin colours too. First of them were Amerindians, who they also enslaved. But 90% of them died due to smallpox. In other words they had massive amounts of land, but lacked labour and there weren't enough European migrants. But on the other side of the Atlantic in West-Africa they had abother problem. See, the region haf been very instable for some time and warlords only had 1 thing in abundance. People. Just what Europeans needed. And what did they give? Weapons, but also food and luxury items. But Europeans also enslaved East Asians, Indians. In other words... Europeans also enslaved everyone (who wasn't christian). Later in the US, due to the status quo of most blacks being slaves and most whites not, the concept of slavery became racialized and inevitably people started applying this to their entire lives - something that also happened in Arab civilization by the way, just to a lesser extent. Religion remained important though. The reason Europeans decided to mess up the Barbary pirates was because they enslaved Christians, not white people. So, Arabs aren't racist unlike Europeans... what a statement. Mostly because the little evidence you gave to why that would be the case is flawed. Meaning it's a racist statement or an ignorant one. About where the Arabs/Muslims got their slaves from in Europe. The entire Mediterrean coast line (Spain, France and Italy were raided quite a lot), but the Barbary pirates even went up all the way tot the UK, Flanders, The Netherlands... The Turkish mostly from the Balkans and Eastern Europe. The Turkish were mostly interested in sex slaves.
African muslims also traded slaves. In fact slave trade was universal. Most buyers were Arabs, but a lot of traffickers came from Africa itself, looking to get rich.
The Qur'an only permits slavery of war captives. The Qur'an also says that Muslims cannot be the instigators of war. So I'm not sure what this Sultan is on about. The entire Islamic expansion was in violation of the Qur'an. Most Muslims dont follow Qur'an, they follow Hadith. The Hadith are in compatible with the Qur'an. The Qur'an claims to be complete and contain all the info you need. It says not to believe in hadith. There are even hadith saying not to follow hadith. Modern day Islam is a joke.
God bless the African race for what they had to bear. I am appalled by the way they were treated by Arabs and then the west. It seems the Africans have been treated terrible everywhere they have gone. I don't understand hate or cruelty. Unimaginable... let God take care of evil doers.
africans were willing participants in not selling but also having slaves of there own ppl have stop thinking of Africans as all one things just as different and varied as europe and asia

The annoying thing is that many Arabs today seek to diminish of outright deny the existence of this slave trade because of the fact that such slavery was explicitly condoned in the Quran. They are too religious and are unwilling to face this uncomfortable truth.

Many Africans are Muslims. I am one such person. We recognize that slavery was something that all peoples were doing during that time, no matter the color.

@@ahmadsolehyn295 true, modern standards should not be applied unto people in the past..... of course slavery is unethical but it was the norm back then along with child marriage,polygamy and public executions and we should learn from our own mistakes not argue and create unnecesary conflicts
The arab slave trade didn't consist of only black people......there were white people also being enslaved by arab as well as other races. And slavery has nothing to do with religion.
You are stupid. Islam has nothing to do with slavery. People are the ones who created slavery, not Islam. Secondly, Islam will not change anything that people have used to do since thousands of years. But he set laws prohibiting slavery and freed slaves and his most famous Islamic character is originally a black slave from Africa and the Messenger is the order to free slaves
The Quran advocates equality between all and says that the only good deeds may raise the status of one human over another. Their are no partiality between caste, creed, colour, rich or poor! all are equal in Islam. Come to success. Come to your God.

I think that chattle slavery is actually only as old as agriculture. My understanding is that nomadic civilizations don't need the same sort of slavery. Agriculture is really, really hard.
My great grandfather from my father’s side and mother’s had slaves and they would tell us stories about them and I always told them how terrible that was they would go to black tribes and kidnap women and men and more it was horrible.
Yes. In Europe, a lot of writers advocated against it but in the Middle East, not really. It was the Europeans who put pressure on Islam countries to abolish it. Some countries even now practice it but secretly.
It's because during colonial times, arabs became centuries behind western europe, arabs were no longer their older selves during the golden age and had become weak and controlled by Turks. Western europe on the other hand, were the first to the americas which was huge and catapulted them in front of everybody else.
like they never did it they enslaved africans and clonised killed many natives in africa and changed their cultures colonism is just another form of slavery and europeans basiclly colonised and invade every fking place

If they are mixed with Arabs it’s possible this came about when there ancestors were the slaves to Arab Muslims.🌺 🎀It’s funny to see how many are so angry at being told that their ancestors were possibly enslaved by Arabs and how quick they are. To want to be regarded as the same as Arab people but when they come to the west. They want to be regarded as black, like the black people who their ancestors helped enslave.🎀
1. Malik Ambar provides a rare example of an Ethiopian slave who was sold into India and later became a major political figure (there's at least one video about him). 2. Moroccan slavers and Barbary pirates took a masive number of WesternEuropean slaves to work in the Maghrib (including slave raids into Europe). 3. There was an enormous number of Ukrainian and Caucasian slaves sold into the Ottoman Empire. 4. The Persians captured Georgians as slaves and bought African slaves. 5. There are Afro-Indian and Afro-Persian communities of slave descendants to the present day.
Afro-Morrocan communities as well. Such as Ikelan (bella) and the Harratin (and another one but i forget the name) who are slave descendants from Sub-Sahara Africa
Somalis were never enslaved, a lot of the things you have said are wrong. Especially regarding Somalis, Somalis accepted Islam peacefully and themselves were most times much more powerful than most Arab empires/nations of that time. Just search up Ajjuran, Adal or Geledi Somali empires.

Obvious bad actors throughout history, despite the Qur'an actually encouraging breaking chains. You can call yourself Muslim, Christian, etc, but your actions matter more. It's also likely that prisoners of ear, who could work for their freedom, were often treated similarly as slaves by the Umayyads and their successors.
That was an excellent whistle-stop tour through 1400 years of history.

The Europeans did not simply arrive on the world stage like horsemen marauding across the steppes.

These long processes gave the Europeans the "overnight" impact you allude to.

That’s a lie, I’ve lived in Libya most of my life, traveled to many cities in the east and west, and have many friends who are African workers, never have I seen or hear of slavery over here. There are gangs and militias that kidnap and harass foreign migrants, but slavery does not exist. As for slave auctions, that has to be the stupidest lie I ever heard, there are so many reason why that would never happen in Libya.
arab settlers of the Al-Qurashi tribe forcefully captured nomadic somali women who they then had children with and those childern are what we call two call the ishaaq and darod tribe of the somali ethnicity. not all somalis were as a result of this but most have and that is how islam was introduced to the ethnic group.
People who are trying to defend Islam are confusing the two things, Muslims and Islam are two different things, Quran is the oldest document that has discouraged slavery short of making it illegal as at that time but if you read quran it made owning a slave a very difficult task. However you have to understand that Muslims who doing this slave trade were not doing it as muslims but as people so as a muslim you don't have to defend them, they are horribly wrong and anyone who wants to diminish role of muslims in this horrible practice is a hypocrite. remember muslim is not islam and vice versa.

The sad thing is to see millions of blacks getting down on their knees and facing Mecca to worship the God of the people who enslaved them and sell them right there, their most holy shrine. These blacks have no shame and regards to the suffering and the brutalization of their ancestors. We also have black doing the same thing kneeling down to Rome and worshipping the God of the people who enslaved them long after the Arabs. Their black ancestors must look down and weep at this madness.
"white people were enslaved too" - yeah, like the Turkish and Crimean-Tatar raids into south-west Russian lands for centuries - from 1.5 to 3 million were estimated to be enslaved. Furthermore, until Russia annexed Central Asia, they carried out slaver raids into Russian lands well into the second half of the 19th century, and the Russian Empire even dedicated yearly budget to buy out the captured Russians from the local Muslim emirs.
The English word slave comes from the word Slav, as in the Slavic people, white is a new distinction that nowadays has encompassed southern and eastern Europe with Arabs and Turks being absorbed along with some step people. We make up these words to divide ourselves and we will pay because of it
@@killermoon635 every race has been enslaved and all slavery is bad. We need to stop bickering and realize that all world governments support slavery and it will only end when the masses take up arms. Until then it's just another business day
As an English man I found this very interesting. I learnt things of which I was not previously aware. It appears that the whole world has a responsibility for slavery, certain more than others. As long as we have learned something and can continue to forge a future all together then maybe there is hope for humankind....
@Ummer Farooq thanks for your response, I spoke to a friend of mine who is Moroccan and he confirmed that this is actually true, however it is not something that people like to discuss in Morocco.
@Ummer Farooq sorry but I don't understand your response. After your first response I was interested to find out more and did actually speak to my friend Abdeslam who is from Morocco. He said it is a part of history they prefer to forget. If you choose not to believe me then that is your choice, I am only repeating what my friend said.
@Ummer Farooq I think there has been a misunderstanding somewhere, I asked my friend if it was true that people from north Africa where part of the slave trade to which he said yes and confirmed it was prior to the european and American slave trade. He also explained that people from north Africa sold slaves to European countries. My friend only left Morocco a few years ago and I trust him with my life, so have no reason to disbelieve him. As for the content of the video itself I do not know how true the content is or is not. I was just interested in finding out more information for myself and felt my friend was best placed to help answer my questions.
@Ummer Farooq you're right he is not 500 years old but he is an extremely well educated man and is aware of his history. For whatever reason you choose to believe that it is not true, that is your choice. I as an English man am aware of the part played by the English in slavery and do not agree with it in any way. You as we all do have the right to believe what we want. One final point I am extremely offended that you would criticise my friend, who you do not know, nor are you aware of his background or education or his ability to respond to the questions I asked.

quality is good but information was all wrong. completely missed the facts about the great Islamic west African empires. the fact that east africans were themselves muslims before many arabs.
@@kopend8638 the way it was narrated you can tell the narrator, or its sponsor had a motive behind this video. There is no denying that Arabs played an integral role in the proliferation of slavery, but this practise was widely adopted by ALL people around the known world, this included our African brothers., or Europeans of that matter. I am glad that the Europeans worked together to remove slavery from the world. However, don't allow it to distract you from the fact that the Europeans were heavily involved with it themselves.
@Ummer Farooq how about our Arab folk? What did they "create" with their involvement of slavery? Europeans and Arabs were both major players in it, anyone that deny that are just plain right stupid.
@@festuschikannaene5465 North Africans are a mixed group of Arabs Africans and whites. So u couldn’t say they are not native as they all have a high percentage of black blood.
Slavery is a huge part of Islam. Islam never abolished slavery but muslims abolished slavery due to pressure from the West. And muslims were the last to abolish slavery. Saudia Arabia abolished slavery in 1962. Oman 1970. Mauritania 1981!
It depends on the definition of slavery, In islam, its "istirqaq" not "isti'ibad" which is the European style of slavery. In islam there is 2 ways of what you call it "slavery", or istirqaq, which is a debt you can't afford to pay back or a soldier and all who fought against the Islamic army without mercy or repentance and sometimes their families were included. While in europe, all africans and Americans were considered slaves without exceptions Persecution, oppression, racism, overworking, beating even if softly were and still forbidden in islam, and other 20 laws were there for freeing slaves While in Western world, there wasn't any law to free nor to enslave, even if you are given freedom, any white man can come and tell you that you are his slave And then, there is persecution, torturing, oppression, massacre and mistreatment of slaves in western world. So, you can't ever compare both slavery with each other. Slavery is still there in the shape of labors
Did you forget the history of christians? Who was the head in slavery in the first place? If christianity is so good why were christians the most brutal people who enslaved every black person, destroyed a continent, and took away all rights of slaves
Slavery is permitted in the Quran, as it is in the Bible, but I don't think most Islamic scholars would agree that it is permitted under sharia. From what I understand, most mainstream schools of Islamic thought do mental gymnastics to conclude that actually Islam forbids slavery.
@@serious_killer1653It was the Muslim slave traders who sold the slaves to the "Whites" so how is it you think the western slave traders are worse? we was only trading in slaves for 300 years but muslims traded in slaves for 1400 years and they still are.
@@ianofliverpool7701 First of all, don't say "white". Just name whatever country or institution you are talking about. "White people" are not a monolithic and it would be absurd to group Russia and Britain and equally complicit in the slave trade just because they were mostly white people. Secondly, it wasn't necessarily Muslims selling slaves to the Europeans in the Atlantic slave trade. The slaves were mostly purchased in West Africa, which had large Muslim, Christian and polytheist populations. And your final point is another example of lumping all "white" or "brown" people together. You can't say the "Muslims" did slavery for 1000 years and they "white" people only did it for 300 years. That doesn't make sense. Slavery was widespread throughout Europe during the Roman empire and even after the Church largely abolished slavery, the Scandanavians and Baltic peoples still engaged in slavery until around 1200 ad. That's the problem with overinclusivity. This applies to the Muslim world as well, because the Muslim world wasn't a monolith. It was made up of different nations, some of which didn't engage in slavery.
@ameer farhat Really? Is that how it is now? That we are so low that we need control? I'm sure that if a country is rich enough to attract expats in the first place that it would have a decent enough police force to prevent that from happening enough to be a problem, if at all. Also, there are other rich countries that don't take passports that also have expats and I have never heard that this was even a problem to them. And another thing, just because they come by themselves doesn't make taking away passports suddenly ok. A thing that is wrong is still something that is wrong. Doing them in one's own territory does not make them any less wrong. The expats do not commit a crime to warrant such a treatment if the "crime" is coming by themselves. The government, on the other hand, do in fact do a crime by enabling such a behaviour towards them. Many people don't even know what they are getting into because they don't know any better. They wouldn't know any better considering where they come from. They leave their countries because they want an adequate and better life. And even if they did know what they were getting into, they only come because there is no better option, and with such treatment towards them, the option that they do go with is not an option that is that worthwhile either.
Simiyu Salome I was about to write a detailed essay on why you’re mistaken but then I realized I’m talking to a deranged lunatic.

Great video in many ways. However you left out some important issues: 1. The arabs usually castrated the African men, they caught. Which is why there are very few blacks in Turkey and the rest of Middle east. 2. the Barbary and ottoman pirates, who raided all of Mediterranean and Atlantic seas . attacking ships, stealing the cargos and taking the sailors as slaves. Also raiding costal towns as far north as Iceland, where they kidnapped 400 people in coastal towns. About 1mio whites were kidnapped as slaves this way - some were let loose for ransom. 3. The American war on the barbary pirates: ua-cam.com/video/QSnu5zPVIPA/v-deo.html

I'm just surprised that none of the well-established media has sought to make a more detailed documentary on this important part of our history. One of the most important of the time was child slavery; Caucasians or white children were paid as a tribute from 6 to 12 years old and this was going on for hundreds of years.
Well, the reason why slavery is racialized and emphasized so much was due to a disinformation compain from the Frankfurt school, which manufactured the convoluted narrative that is so common in the west today.
define slavery first because the world of today knows slavery through the lens of western brutal slavery of Africans and only of Africans but with Arabs and Ottomans it wasn't about a race or a color and it wasn't even harsh it was just like today's any normal job. so when we hear about slavery we think of western brutal slavery. in Muslims many slaves have Emperors of mighty Muslim Empires so can you give such example from anywhere else in the world

Yep. Same with Christianity! We should reject white supremacy as well as Arab supremacy. These religions were made for other people and will never help a single African.
@VI's Very Own Yeah, I guess it was Ethiopians who converted the rest of the continent? It was white men who converted the rest of Africa to their version of Christianity. The Ethiopians even have their own church and their own larger version of the Bible, whereas the other Africans use the Bible they inherited from their colonial masters. So if you’re not an Ethiopian you are very much worshipping a white mans God.
@VI's Very Own You’re confused. I’m not saying to go back to pre-colonial Ethno-religions. The way forward is agnostic atheism and humanism. We don’t need to worship any god whatsoever . We need to use reason and science to push ourselves forward, not the fairytales brought to us by whites and Arabs intent on doing us harm. Rituals are necessary to human life though, and we can continue the rituals of our ancestors that make sense and are relevant to us like the coming of age ceremonies which still occur in most African countries, and the traditional festivals. Muhammad was a liar, and Jesus got crucified by buff Romans dudes for talking smack about the empire - he was NOT resurrected despite what the New Testament says. There’s is no God! It’s time for you to grow up, child.
@Mohammed Bapalori Ninya It actually does because indentured servitude is not really dehumanizing (It's almost like forced employement with benefits/rights). Chattel slavery that was originally started by the Arabs then adopted by Europeans is brutal and a slow genocidal process when you study the details.

+1 no one can ever enslave somalis where ever they set foot outside homeland.. they born brave and free morever somalis have been always treated with respect and fear around arabia
Due to the rigorous efforts of Somalis on this channel and my Facebook and my Instagram and my Discord, I have to clarify that my source does not state (neither do I, in the video) that it was ethnic Somalis who were enslaved in large volume. There are various ethnic groups in Somalia and it might have been meant towards another group, specifically, Somali Bantus. My apologies for the confusion.
The Somali people embraced Islam willingly before the majority of Arabs due to the initial emigration of the first generation of Muslims out of Mecca into Abyssinia unlike Muslims in Pakistan or India who became Muslim through being enslaved and conquered by the Persian Mughals. Secondly, Somalis were never enslaved. Ethnic Somalis were part of the slave trade as slavers themselves, capturing peoples from modern day Tanzania and Mozambique who now constitute the Bantu population. There were also slaves of South Asian and Portuguese descent in the Sultanate of Mogadishu and the Somali Ajuraan Empire during the medieval period.

Yes, it is my opinion that blacks that converted to Islam were brainwashed, but their conversion was less the result of lack of knowledge of history, but rather their personal experience at the hands of European/American Christians.
We failed in our duty to treat them as brothers so they went to worship God elsewhere.
To their credit, they still chose God since atheism and paganism were not valid options.

He was the first muezzin in Islam. I saw his story in an animated film in HBO. Interesting history.

@ja ka , you numpty. Is that why they still chop peoples heads off in the markets, without trial.
As an Arab myself, this is a topic we must discuss and come to terms with. Sugarcoating or suppressing the parts of our history that we don't like will not help advance as a civilization and people. Yes it is a shameful part of our history, but we can either run from it or learn from it.
this video is filled with fake stories anyway
@theworld lol, so much ignorance.
ISLAM is the only religion that spread by peaceful means like preaching and without violence and force-converstaions. the proofs for that are very apparent and simple most of muslim-majority areas are areas that were never invaded by a muslim force/army. muslim armies never went into places like south east asia (where the biggest muslim communities on the planets is) and africa (except for the northern coasts
which were invaded by muslim armies). therefore, there has never been an authority or force that could have forced the people to convert to islam in all those areas. but you can still find the biggest muslims populations in these area, which proves that people converted to islam easily without anybody forcing them,
because there had been no muslım authority that could have forced the people to convert to anything. moreover, even in those areas which were conquered by the muslims
and which were under islamic rule, the non-muslim people there could freely
practice their religion without any problems. the proof for that is also very apparent and simple: areas like the middle east had been under muslim rule for about 1400 years, yet you can see 14 million christians in the middle east, who
have been living with muslims under muslim rule for 1300 years. apparently, nobody has
force-converted them or their ancestors to islam, nor has anybody expelled them or massacred
them. that clearly showes that islam was not spread by the sword, because
othwerwise there would not have been a single Arab who would have remained a Christian. even the ancient christian churches (like the old coptic egypitan
churches that are up to 1600 years old) are still standing without damage, after been under under muslim rule for 1400 years. nobody had destroyed them or damaged them.
also the non-muslim historian De Lacy O'Leary said in the book "Islam at the
cross road" (Page 8)
"History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping
through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myth that historians have ever
repeated."
or other hisotrians like JAMES A. MICHENER says:
"No other religion in history spread so rapidly as Islam.. The West has widely believed that this surge of
religion was made possible by the sword. But no modern scholar accepts that idea, and the Qur'an is explicit in support of the freedom of conscience."/SLAM
THE MISUNDERSTOOD RELIGION, READERS DIGEST (Amorican Edition)
May 1955
EDWARD GIBBON: "The greatest success of Mohammed's life was effected by sheer moral force without the stroke of a sword." H/STORY OF THE SARACEN
EMPIRE, London, 1870
A. S. TRITTON: "The picture of the Muslim soldier advancing with a sword in
one hand and the Qur'an in the other is quite false " ISLAM, London, 1951, p. 21
in fact, the muslims are not even allowed to force any to islam. because the Quran says
"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error" [AI-Qur'an 2:256]
the islamic caliphates were very tolerant towards non-muslim minorities and even granted them benefits from the islamic social system, treated them equally
and allowed them to judge with their own christians and jewish laws when they had issues amongst themselfes (note: the islamic system is the only system in history that allows other religious minorities to judge with their own respective laws in court. No other system has ever granted such a high level of tolerance to other minorities). morevoer, the islamic world was always a place of refuge for
minorities that were persecuted by other nations. minorities, especially the jews, fled always to islamic lands (usually to islamic spain, north africa or the ottomen empire) after they were persecuted especially by the european. in islamic lands
he jews and other minorites were protected and lived in peace, to such an extent, that the jews experienced their so called "golden age" under the islamic sharia law in al andalus. even today those former european jews have communities in north africa (most jews migrated to the jewsh state after it was
establi shed on palestinian soil)
But unfortunately, most other religions were spread mostly by violence, like
ashoka who spread buddhism by killing several hundred of thousands, or
chnstianity that were spread outsi de of europ, by the crusader wars (6 million
people killed) and during the european colonial era (hundred of millions of people
killed)
@theworld dude how can you be so dishonest.

Your country was living a peaceful life, citizens happily following their Culture until the Islam conquest,, the religion of peace , do you like how that place is today? You were not arabs, go and search for your ancestral origin,,,they arabized you and you lost your identity. Now youre living a life of another country, Saudi while they are enjoying oil and hajj money, you are praying in hunger. If you dont know history, try to read. Im a student of knowledge both Islam and science. If you doubt arab enslaving Africa, go and read on the Zanj rebellion in 871 AD in Basra, Iraq. Arabs treatment of Black slaves were different from White slaves, they castrated most of the males and made them to be bathing royals and some working in mosques. Saudi Arabia stopped slave bussiness in 1967, under pressure from great Britain, another slave masters. We cannot bury our dirty past with lies, we can only learn from it, So that we dont repeat such mistakes. Islam makes you feel everybody hates you, but it isnt True. It makes you think People that leave the religion are evil People, some leave for genuine reasons, for identifying that something is wrong. Im not replying in anger whatsoever, just want you to ponder upon this, look at the world today. Do you think if everybody was a muslim, everyone Will be happy? Life Will be good for everyone? Today, When muslims are being attacked in their countries, they dont go to the giant oil Nations like Saudi etc, they Rush to Europe. Think about that. Saudi is doing bussiness with the religion, and that should tell you where that religion is steming from, all the practices that were happening in pagan era is being practiced by you today, but because of the deceit Allah is the god of Abraham, its seen to be normal but its pagan practice. Abraham never did those things, Alsarfa and marwah are never signs of Abraham God,, they a male and female deities Who had sex in that place and were cursed into Mountains, at the pagan era,,.. please i entreat you to read, seek knowledge, dont get angry with my reply, im a peaceful person. Work Hard and make life better for yourself and People, it all begins with education, because education is medication...
In college, a Saudi Arabian classmate told me the Arabs actually started the African slave trade. I was shocked because I was only taught about the European slave traders and owners.

So white people sold other white people into slavery? The Vikings raided settlements in France, Britain, and Ireland and also demanded tributes of slaves from the Eastern Slavic communities in Russia and Finnish farming communities...hence the word slave from the Slavic. So when someone states,”well black people sold their own people,”couldn’t it also be said that white people sold their own? I never liked it when some tried to justify that practice... well you sold your own. As if that should make it alright and somehow lessen the culpability of those engaging in this practice. Wrong is wrong no matter who does it.

Rascal von Manor what do you mean ? Dont understand the question ?
Rascal von Manor the term « Moor » or « Mauro » in spanish/portuguese comes from Moor Akush ( Marra-kech) which means the ´Land of God’ in berber language. When spain was under their rule, the berbers/arabs rulers would introduce themselves as being from « Moor Akush » the land of god... thats why spanish associated this term with brown people. It was used by spanish people later to describe people from north Africa. Negro means black in Spanish... But the moors were not blacks as Afro Americans tend to believe. Just go to any museum in Morocco and you’d see the truth with your own eyes.
Finally someone is telling about the Arab slave trade, i'm from South Sudan so i definitely know about this it's a shame that African Muslims mostly don't feel confrontable with HISTORY because of who did it.

@Nazim Dean arabs slavery commonly known by muslim since slavery happened way before islam and it's mentioned in quran and one of prophet companion bilal is an ex slave
@@imcloud305 That's a huge misrepresentation. Both the European and Arab slave trade (but I'll also cover other Muslims) were based on religion, initially at least. However, prices varied along races. E.g. white women were significantly worth more than other women, bonus points for blue eyes or blond and red hair. Arabs mostly had slaves from Africa, Turks mostly from Europe and Berbers from both. Muslims just couldn't be slaves. Just like in Europe Christians couldn't be slaves. Of course due to Europeans building global empires they came across non-muslims of certain skin colours too. First of them were Amerindians, who they also enslaved. But 90% of them died due to smallpox. In other words they had massive amounts of land, but lacked labour and there weren't enough European migrants. But on the other side of the Atlantic in West-Africa they had abother problem. See, the region haf been very instable for some time and warlords only had 1 thing in abundance. People. Just what Europeans needed. And what did they give? Weapons, but also food and luxury items.
But Europeans also enslaved East Asians, Indians. In other words... Europeans also enslaved everyone (who wasn't christian). Later in the US, due to the status quo of most blacks being slaves and most whites not, the concept of slavery became racialized and inevitably people started applying this to their entire lives - something that also happened in Arab civilization by the way, just to a lesser extent. Religion remained important though. The reason Europeans decided to mess up the Barbary pirates was because they enslaved Christians, not white people.
So, Arabs aren't racist unlike Europeans... what a statement. Mostly because the little evidence you gave to why that would be the case is flawed. Meaning it's a racist statement or an ignorant one.
About where the Arabs/Muslims got their slaves from in Europe. The entire Mediterrean coast line (Spain, France and Italy were raided quite a lot), but the Barbary pirates even went up all the way tot the UK, Flanders, The Netherlands...
The Turkish mostly from the Balkans and Eastern Europe. The Turkish were mostly interested in sex slaves.
African muslims also traded slaves. In fact slave trade was universal. Most buyers were Arabs, but a lot of traffickers came from Africa itself, looking to get rich.
But yet Islam gets the almighty free card out of the slavery blame some how. Get that one.
Slavery has been practiced throughout ancient times lol
The Qur'an only permits slavery of war captives. The Qur'an also says that Muslims cannot be the instigators of war. So I'm not sure what this Sultan is on about. The entire Islamic expansion was in violation of the Qur'an. Most Muslims dont follow Qur'an, they follow Hadith. The Hadith are in compatible with the Qur'an. The Qur'an claims to be complete and contain all the info you need. It says not to believe in hadith. There are even hadith saying not to follow hadith. Modern day Islam is a joke.
BLM wouldn't dare riot in Muslim countries as it wouldn't be tolerated.
Because they only stoped enslaving when they submitted to Islam. Once submitted and monopolised on religion who’s left to complain.
Islam slave trade is totally different from Arab and American slave trade
God bless the African race for what they had to bear. I am appalled by the way they were treated by Arabs and then the west. It seems the Africans have been treated terrible everywhere they have gone. I don't understand hate or cruelty. Unimaginable... let God take care of evil doers.

I wanted to say as an Ethiopian even tho we weren’t a part of this arab slave trade mentioned in this video this is truly disgusting.most of western slavery is portrayed in media but what the Arabs did a lot of ppl don’t know about. How truly disgusting they were.And that they don’t wanna talk abt it and just push it under the rug is even more disgraceful.
The annoying thing is that many Arabs today seek to diminish of outright deny the existence of this slave trade because of the fact that such slavery was explicitly condoned in the Quran. They are too religious and are unwilling to face this uncomfortable truth.
There is word for it today if you talk about it. Its called ☪️ phobia. It's a psychological thing, where one looks good as long the evils of others are focussed on rather oneself.
The word is used to shut up people who bring light on the sins of mankind as a whole for healing.
On the contrary it sits quietly in the dark and strips of human out of humanity by propagating and supporting all kinds of victim hood to appease all in order to look good by not bringing light on one's own sins.

You are stupid. Islam has nothing to do with slavery. People are the ones who created slavery, not Islam. Secondly, Islam will not change anything that people have used to do since thousands of years.

Moroccan slavers and Barbary pirates took a masive number of WesternEuropean slaves to work in the Maghrib (including slave raids into Europe). 3. There was an enormous number of Ukrainian and Caucasian slaves sold into the Ottoman Empire. 4. The Persians captured Georgians as slaves and bought African slaves. 5. There are Afro-Indian and Afro-Persian communities of slave descendants to the present day.
Afro-Morrocan communities as well. Such as Ikelan (bella) and the Harratin (and another one but i forget the name) who are slave descendants from Sub-Sahara Africa

Slavery is a huge part of Islam. Islam never abolished slavery but muslims abolished slavery due to pressure from the West. And muslims were the last to abolish slavery. Saudia Arabia abolished slavery in 1962. Oman 1970. Mauritania 1981!
It depends on the definition of slavery,
In islam, its "istirqaq" not "isti'ibad" which is the European style of slavery.
In islam there is 2 ways of what you call it "slavery", or istirqaq, which is a debt you can't afford to pay back or a soldier and all who fought against the Islamic army without mercy or repentance and sometimes their families were included.
While in europe, all africans and Americans were considered slaves without exceptions
Persecution, oppression, racism, overworking, beating even if softly were and still forbidden in islam, and other 20 laws were there for freeing slaves
While in Western world, there wasn't any law to free nor to enslave, even if you are given freedom, any white man can come and tell you that you are his slave
And then, there is persecution, torturing, oppression, massacre and mistreatment of slaves in western world.

The taking of slzves is permitted in the quran and hadiths and islamic scholars agree it is permitted under sharia.
Slavery is permitted in the Quran, as it is in the Bible, but I don't think most Islamic scholars would agree that it is permitted under sharia. From what I understand, most mainstream schools of Islamic thought do mental gymnastics to conclude that actually Islam forbids slavery.
Arabs had slaves of their own race too, so it isnt that bad as the white slave traders. Saudi Arabians are Hella brown too.
@@serious_killer1653It was the Muslim slave traders who sold the slaves to the "Whites" so how is it you think the western slave traders are worse? we was only trading in slaves for 300 years but muslims traded in slaves for 1400 years and they still are.
@@ianofliverpool7701 First of all, don't say "white". Just name whatever country or institution you are talking about. "White people" are not a monolithic and it would be absurd to group Russia and Britain and equally complicit in the slave trade just because they were mostly white people.
Secondly, it wasn't necessarily Muslims selling slaves to the Europeans in the Atlantic slave trade. The slaves were mostly purchased in West Africa, which had large Muslim, Christian and polytheist populations.
And your final point is another example of lumping all "white" or "brown" people together.
You can't say the "Muslims" did slavery for 1000 years and they "white" people only did it for 300 years. That doesn't make sense. Slavery was widespread throughout Europe during the Roman empire and even after the Church largely abolished slavery, the Scandanavians and Baltic peoples still engaged in slavery until around 1200 ad.
That's the problem with overinclusivity. This applies to the Muslim world as well, because the Muslim world wasn't a monolith. It was made up of different nations, some of which didn't engage in slavery.
Even the current treatment of foreign workers in some of the Arab countries is almost akin to slavery (the kafala system).
@ameer farhat Really? Is that how it is now? That we are so low that we need control? I'm sure that if a country is rich enough to attract expats in the first place that it would have a decent enough police force to prevent that from happening enough to be a problem, if at all. Also, there are other rich countries that don't take passports that also have expats and I have never heard that this was even a problem to them. And another thing, just because they come by themselves doesn't make taking away passports suddenly ok. A thing that is wrong is still something that is wrong. Doing them in one's own territory does not make them any less wrong. The expats do not commit a crime to warrant such a treatment if the "crime" is coming by themselves. The government, on the other hand, do in fact do a crime by enabling such a behaviour towards them. Many people don't even know what they are getting into because they don't know any better. They wouldn't know any better considering where they come from. They leave their countries because they want an adequate and better life. And even if they did know what they were getting into, they only come because there is no better option, and with such treatment towards them, the option that they do go with is not an option that is that worthwhile either.
The Kafala System has been abolished today in Saudi Arabia 😚

One thing I know for a fact somalis were never enslaved. Check your facts my brother!
Simiyu Salome I was about to write a detailed essay on why you’re mistaken but then I realized I’m talking to a deranged lunatic. I can tell your from Tanzania as there are no other people than other East Africans that have such a raging hate boner for the Somali people making up false information and fictions events just to spite them. Ignoring this false reality you seem to want to perpetuate, it was not in fact the Somali people who were slaves but rather your own, 50,000 a year being passed around Zanzibar as your lands where taken by Somali and Persian merchants. Cope harder.
Also when the west does something wrong its CHRISTIANITY WHEN MUSLIMS DO SOMETHING WRONG IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM. HYPOCRITES
What about others excuses never hold the truth to come out
Go to africa
Great video in many ways.
However you left out some important issues:
1. The arabs usually castrated the African men, they caught. Which is why there are very few blacks in Turkey and the rest of Middle east.
2. the Barbary and ottoman pirates, who raided all of Mediterranean and Atlantic seas . attacking ships, stealing the cargos and taking the sailors as slaves. Also raiding costal towns as far north as Iceland, where they kidnapped 400 people in coastal towns.
About 1mio whites were kidnapped as slaves this way - some were let loose for ransom.
3. The American war on the barbary pirates:

The European slaves who were not taken into the army as Janissaries were also castrated
Show this to Ilhan Omar.
Why?
Walahi this man did not drag Somali into this. Somalia is now bad and now weak but never back then we were never ever slaves why the hell do people do videos like this when their facts our crooked.
Why is it so hard to admit the Arabs are your masters
Somali Kid lol dork
@Somali Kid if they're not your Master how did you started worshipping Allah? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Europeans are mostly following Christianity a religion that originated in the Middle East does that make them conquered ??
I’m loosing brain cells replying to u.

Please before making videos come it with backup research and research with resources. This video is made out off with fake news . Somalis were never enslaved we had our own kingdoms #VivaSomalia 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇩🇯🇸🇴🇩🇯🇩🇯🇩🇯🇩🇯🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇩🇯🇩🇯🇩🇯🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴
Bull crap everyone was enslaved at one time
Cult Leader Everyone being enslaved is a myth, because Somalis were never slaves
Somalies lied like Elhan omar
It is really weird that Somalis are so upset about someone claiming they were enslaved at one point in history, but have no problems with the fact that they assisted with Arab slave trade for 1400 years and kept Bantus as slaves on plantations. And still you see Somalis in Europe participating in BLM protests.

One of the darkest history that we don't talk about, in our Arab world, instead we talk about the west racism
Islam encourages slavery
@@yurichtube1162 slavery existed before Islam, and ancient empires , and islam encourages freeing a slave for a charity or sacrifice , and regulate some rights but it didn't end it, though it ended a lot of jahiliya tribalism at that time
@@OmarManasra islam did not end slavery. It encourages laws how to treat slaves, instead of abolishing it all together. To this day, the arabs still practice it because it was sunnah.
@@yurichtube1162 it wasn't sunnah it's more with the Arab culture and in Levant slavery descendants of europeans Turks and Kurds are obvious portions in the community unlike black communities were very few
@@OmarManasra arab culture and islam are intertwined
We have to learn such history in our schools in the Arab world as an Arab. This is the first time I hear about Arab slavery. I thought that slavery ended when Islam come .
The arab world doesn't exist moron. It was financed by the british and french. Berbers aren't arabs.
while freeing a slave was a good deed and way of repentance, the slave economy and the use of slaves was too benefical not for arabs or muslims but for everyone. Also in a way slavery is still alive, most of our phones and clothes are made in sweatshops in China, India, Pakistan and more. Thats just the human condition
There are egyptian paintings of Egyptians taking Kush and Nubian slaves from 5000 years ago. China Purchased Black Africans from the Arabs up until 1906 when china outlawed the practice. Arabs took British and Americans for slaves as well. In Britain they sailed into coastal towns and grabbed as many Brits as they could into the mid 1800's
The Egyptians and the nubians was a different fight
Not arabs.berber pirat
Somalis were enslaved????? Loooool that couldn’t be further from the truth. Get your facts right.
Somalilans were slaved

@@africangang3108 Actually it was the other way around. We sold Habeshas to Arabs, Indians, Chinese, Turks. Most of the Akdam in Yemen and the Siddi of India were Ethiopians.

Well arab slavery, unlike European’s, was not directed towards black people... In North Africa we enslaved everybody... White, Brown, Black, Yellow... an estimated 3 millions white europeans, mostly women were captured and enslaved by north africans...
I’m a white American. Our European and American ancestors were enslaved by the Berbers. I hate when I’m blamed for my ancestors. You should hate it too. I don’t blame the Arab/Muslims of today for the past. Anah Tmam sadiqi!

There is no such thing
@@yoloswaggins7121 you must be ignorant of such knowledge. It is okay, the modern world does not do a good job at educating on these subjects. I encourage you to do your research.
@@brandonsanford1766 research what exactly? I would genuinely like to research it but I don't know what you are talking about.
When an where did this slave trade take place?
@@yoloswaggins7121 He means how Jews were involved in the Arab slave trade and the ottoman slave trade because they were slave merchants and sold Africans and Europeans to the Arabs and ottomans as well.
Blacks have had it hard from the beginning.... sigh
@Bonnie & Clyde Ride 1400 years of Muslims slavery, and 500 years of transatlantic slavery. Name another people group who've been through worse... Don't worry I'll wait.
Bonnie & Clyde Ride Imagine being this ignorant, we still are facing racism/discrimination/systematic racism. We get discriminated everywhere we go, non black people are racist/Anti-black towards black people.

@@tshepokgwele1789 Apartheid, Mass colonization, plundering of resources and destruction of the African environment, Coerced economic vampirism by China and Europe, and Genocide. Yep blacks have had it the worse.
We’re the beginning of civilization on this planet, A Voodum Prest said we were conquered, because we saw humanity in them, and when we view them, the way they view us, we’ll no longer be a conquered people!
I'm just surprised that none of the well-established media has sought to make a more detailed documentary on this important part of our history.
One of the most important of the time was child slavery; Caucasians or white children were paid as a tribute from 6 to 12 years old and this was going on for hundreds of years.
Well, the reason why slavery is racialized and emphasized so much was due to a disinformation compain from the Frankfurt school, which manufactured the convoluted narrative that is so common in the west today.
define slavery first because the world of today knows slavery through the lens of western brutal slavery of Africans and only of Africans but with Arabs and Ottomans it wasn't about a race or a color and it wasn't even harsh it was just like today's any normal job. so when we hear about slavery we think of western brutal slavery. in Muslims many slaves have Emperors of mighty Muslim Empires so can you give such example from anywhere else in the world
ISLAM GOT NITHING TO DO WITH this ... NOTHING WHAT SO EVER .... NATIVE ARABS AS WELL AS THEY ARE FAAR A WAY FROM THIS IGNORANT ACUSATION

They did it TO EACH ANOTHER & WESTERNS did it to them
BLAME YORSELVES PLZ. .. LEAVE US IN PEACE
@@zaroonyakhyakhan4514 It is possible, some ancient texts talk about that.
These children were well treated, and they had everything until a certain age after which they became part of the empire’s army.
However, the history tells us that the eastern invasion - Mongols, Tatars, etc.- was much worse than Europe or Middle Est have ever seen. These people were not interested in slaves, just wealth. I believe it would be quite interesting to see some documentary about it, no?
@@zaroonyakhyakhan4514
Do you mean the Turkish and Circassian Mamluk slaves who took over the rule of Egypt after the death of Najm al-Din Ayyub their master, or what do you mean who are the slaves who became emperors
That’s racist, white supremacist, and islamophobic.

As an Indigenous African, I still dot understand how their religion spread and continues to spread amongst people who share my ancestors, historical education is extremely lacking
Yep. Same with Christianity! We should reject white supremacy as well as Arab supremacy. These religions were made for other people and will never help a single African.
@VI's Very Own Yeah, I guess it was Ethiopians who converted the rest of the continent?
It was white men who converted the rest of Africa to their version of Christianity. The Ethiopians even have their own church and their own larger version of the Bible, whereas the other Africans use the Bible they inherited from their colonial masters.
So if you’re not an Ethiopian you are very much worshipping a white mans God.
Arabs and Muslims ARE Africans you silly goose.
@VI's Very Own
You’re confused. I’m not saying to go back to pre-colonial Ethno-religions.
The way forward is agnostic atheism and humanism. We don’t need to worship any god whatsoever . We need to use reason and science to push ourselves forward, not the fairytales brought to us by whites and Arabs intent on doing us harm.
Rituals are necessary to human life though, and we can continue the rituals of our ancestors that make sense and are relevant to us like the coming of age ceremonies which still occur in most African countries, and the traditional festivals.
Muhammad was a liar, and Jesus got crucified by buff Romans dudes for talking smack about the empire - he was NOT resurrected despite what the New Testament says.
There’s is no God! It’s time for you to grow up, child.
@VI's Very Own I want science and progress for my fellow Africans, others are comfortable with slavery. We are all different. Good luck.
I'm an African from the western part of Africa but I love your video because I started question all Religion there original

@Mohammed Bapalori Ninya It actually does because indentured servitude is not really dehumanizing (It's almost like forced employement with benefits/rights).
Chattel slavery that was originally started by the Arabs then adopted by Europeans is brutal and a slow genocidal process when you study the details.
im omani from somali roots, and i say your claim about somali being into slavery is a *false claim*

im not racist towards any other east african states .. i respect all and i feel sympathy for whats your ancestors have been throgh

no one can ever enslave somalis where ever they set foot outside homeland.. they born brave and free
morever somalis have been always treated with respect and fear around arabia
Thank you bro you can look at so many sources and they’ll tell you that ETHNIC somalis weren’t enslaved because we converted to Islam early
*This reinforces these facts as evident, that Islam was never a true religion, nor a peaceful one.*
