99% of the people shaking their heads and wagging their fingers in the most patronizing and condescending way possible did not listen to the podcast. Be learned and mature enough to listen first and speak last. You are emotionally provoked because you fear the ugliness reflected at you in the mirror this brother is holding up to you. Because you are recognizing that you preach equality between arabs and non-arabs in general and specifically black people but you practice arab superiority and anti-black racism.
To be honest thats the reality in life, anything black is looked as a negative. Every one always talks before listening. This is one best channels out there for history period.
My brothers Racism is only rooted in a minority of Arabs who are themselves pro-Western and far from Islam. we must not fall into “fighting racism with racism” Arabs and Blacks are brothers Same destiny, same suffering, same enemies. United we will win, divided we will fall. have a nice day. Assalam Aleikom
There really is no such thing as an Arab ? Where did that word come from.? . they are North Africans with Caucasian heritage.. basically Mulatto descendants of the Marmalukes.
Arabs do not truly exist...They are light skinned Africans who. deny their African Roots.. there is no Arab culture.. just like Europeans that have stolen their culture from the Africans. Look at the stealing of Egyptian history Look at the history of Qatar Oman UAE Saudi Arabia..The Roots are All African. Modern day Arabs are in denial..
Racial supremacy is a sickness. I myself am an Amazigh, the attacks of Arabs and even black Africans either wanting to claim or erase my history and identity is unislamic.
@senuoyyounes7639so when will the kafalat for employment be abolished?
“All humans are descended from Adam and Eve,” said prophet Muhammad in his last known public speech. “There is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab, or of a non-Arab over an Arab, and no superiority of a white person over a black person or of a black person over a white person, except on the basis of personal piety and righteousness.”
And the judge is only Allah. We can't judge the righteousness
I wonder where else you are preaching this, if you where compelled to preach it here , maybe to the people who ignore the sudan suffering right now, or content that attacks Africans ect.
Preach that to racist A-rabs and Asians so-called Muslims!!! The Black/African Muslim Umma is the gatekeepers of Islam and should have a complete separation in worship, mosque, and even Eid celebrations than the aforementioned racists!!!
The problem is that you may think that Muslims are superior to non-muslims. It's not racist but it is prejudice.
Is this in the real world though 🤔
As a great grandson of a Sudanese and a Arab originating in the peninsula, I didn't know that I was a Black Muslim or an Arab Muslim. I thought I was a Muslim.
People that use western philosophy to interpret Islamic History are sure NOT to find things in order.
Where do you find these people?
Evidently, your great grandparents were Arab and Sudanese, your patrilineal ancestry defines your ethnic group according to Islam.
Al-Jaahidh was half Sudanese and half Iraqi, but that didn't mean he was altogether exempt from discrimination.
We don't live in a perfect world, race is not a 'social construct' (in itself a Western Ideological term, rejected by Islam) but a social reality that defines the experiences of real people in real societies.
@@Historyun
Discrimination has many faces and have little to nothing to do with race, but has everything to do with superficial understanding of what is right and what is wrong, i.e. Haram and Mubah and Fard.

So, instead of debating the issue as that of Racial discrimination, we should be debating it as MUSLIMS as a sinful act.
Using western or eastern or another standards to measure behavior will create more chasm amongst us in time we need to unity.

As an African Muslim, it’s good to see this being discussed from such early sources. But at the same time, I feel like some people might go overboard in their appreciation of Al jaahidh, considering his role in the fitnah of khalq al-Qur’an and the descriptions of his status as a narrator in the books of jarh and ta’deel. Nevertheless, his unique perspective in this issue of race is beneficial. Barakallahu feekum
YOu claim to be an African so I'll guess you are black. As a Muslim you pray in an Arabic language and face an Arabic nation when you do this. You must pilgrimage to an Arabic land. You put them first and you wonder why they see you as second. Google the Arab League Map and tell me what you see. Notice this is the ARAB League and not the MUSLIM League- so you can be a Muslim but you not invited to join. The Arab League has more land in Africa than it has in the Middle East.
Africans used to say the white man had the Bible and Africans had the land. Today you can say Arabs had the Quran and you had the land. Now you have the Quran and the Arabs have the land. You fell for the same trick twice.

No one is superior due to Ethnicity and skin complexion. Doesn’t matter if you are white , brown , black or any color. Keep in mind that Arabs also come in basically all skin colors as skin color doesn’t mean one isn’t Arab. Arab is a lineage that is Usually traced through paternal lineage.
It matters
@@skp8748 it matters because of medically if you where to tell the truth you would find something in dark skin person gene which you wouldn't not find in others .

Respectfully brother you need to cut out this brainwashed mentality that alot of African and afro Latino suffer from. Why is it ya'll say Black for when you dang well know our hair is black and our skin colour is NOT an ethnicity but various shades of brown, I have familia from the Sahara desert and they are the darker than the darkest Nigerian bedouin, Darker than the darkest Indian, But yet their skin colour is completely different than their black hair. Same as your hair is black and your skin is da same as milk chocolate. I'm Hispanic and love both roots e.g. East African and on my dad's side mexican and Chinese. My point of issue is not just with you. But all of our community, Why ya'll refer to Arabs by their ethnicity, but when it comes to our African people it's 'All of a sudden Black this or black that,colour first. That sounds like house slave mentality regurgitating what the gringo slave master narrative says is truth. When da field Africans knew gringo labelled Africans as negros, the filthy N word, blackies,burnt face, black face. When these same gringos dang well knew we are NOT black or black people. We are our our tribe name, I'm sick of human regurgitating gringo lies on our people. My African and Mexican communities are some of the most brainwashed people on earth.

Nice topic. From an afghan
A part 2 …. akande’s insights are quite interesting
What you are saying is completly false, in this book Al-jahiz is putting the arabs in the black categorie and the 'white" are the persian and the romans
Certainly. So the battle of Harrah was against the Romans living in Madinah.
Thanks 👍
@@HistoryunNo, it was persians. This is at root of the abassid revolution, its from there the racist retoric starts from the persians. Please read the book fully, Al-jahiz makes other statement that challenges the conventional view of islamic History.
If I watched this in my teens and early twenties I’ve would have been infuriated as a 40 year old African man this has to be the most intellectual stimulating conversation I’ve ever listen to.All I can say is Thank you brothers.Ramadan karim.
You should know that in the early Muslim community in Baghdad, some had a negative view of the people known as “Zanj” not because of appearance or complexion but rather due to their paganism and anti Islamic beliefs. The evidence seems to be that they didn’t conform to Islam and instead wanted to fight against Muslims who were giving dawah and spreading Islam. These people along with other pagan African tribes tried to attack Muslims (the majority of which were Arab at the time though some were African too). These wars created a negative of the Bantu Africans, also known as Zanj. Keep in mind not everyone saw these people in this way.
Nooooo! Go and read on the 7th century Zanj rebellion!
These zanj were majority slaves and the Abbasids had them dredging rivers and digging canals, working in harsh conditions in the marshes THAT is why they rebelled not because they hated Islam
@yasir9749 Muslims don’t enslave anyone unless it was a prisoner of war.
Perhaps, the Zanj rebelled because they didn’t like being slaves.
They were brave men who created an autonomous region for a couple of years! This is speculation on my side but I think the hastened the demise of the Ummayad caliphate and were the spark the lit the Abassid revolution!
It's beautiful to learn something new every day!
Ery interesting.
Thank you for sharing.

@@SaeedMSR first of all you should not be talking about the purity until you address the dirt
Conversations about ethnic self-esteem are important.
Peace. Please take this comment as nothing more than constructive criticism and a reflection. I wanted to point out a few relatively important points I think, that if recognized, could have potentially improved the value of this segment. First of all, I wanted to clarify that it's "The Glory (Superiority) of Blacks Over Whites", not over Arabs. Quite inconveniently perhaps for many modern Arabs, al-Jahidh was an Arab of the tribe of Banu Kinanah and didn't view "Blackness" (as in dark brown skin) in opposition to, or as mutually exclusive from Arabness. A few quotes that demonstrate his prospective:
“The Arabs pride themselves on (their) black complexion, تفخر بسواد اللون العرب (al-‘arab tafkhar bi-sawād al-lawn)” (Al-Jāḥiẓ, Fakhr al-sūdān ‘alā l-bidan, in Risa’il Al-Jahiz, 4 vols. (Cairo, 1964) I:207.)
And because it's already mentioned in the video as it concerns the topic, I'd like to share a full quote where he clearly takes note of black-skinned Arab tribes (again why the title of this video is so problematic):
"The Zanj say that God did not make them black to disfigure them; rather it is their environment that made them so. The best evidence of this is that there are black tribes among the Arabs, such as the Banu Sulaim bin Mansur, and that all the peoples settled in the Harra, besides the Banu Sulaim are black. These tribes take slaves from among the Ashban to mind their flocks and for irrigation work, manual labor, and domestic service, and their wives from among the Byzantines; and yet it takes less than three generations for the Harra to give them all the complexion of the Banu Sulaim. This Harra is such that the gazelles, ostriches, insects, wolves, foxes, sheep, asses, horses and birds that live there are all black. White and black are the results of environment, the natural properties of water and soil, distance from the sun, and intensity of heat. There is no question of metamorphosis, or of punishment, disfigurement or favor meted out by Allah. Besides, the land of the Banu Sulaim has much in common with the land of the Turks, where the camels, beasts of burden, and everything belonging to these people is similar in appearance: everything of theirs has a Turkish look."
(Medieval Sourcebook: Abû Ûthmân al-Jâhith: From The Essays, c. 860 CE". Retrieved 2 October 2014.)
Finally, he describes the Prophet's own paternal grandfather (Abd al-Muttalib) and 'Abd Allah Ibn Abbas as black, writing:
“The ten lordly sons of ‘Abd al-Muṭṭalib were deep black (dalham) in color and big/tall (ḍukhm). When Amir b. al-Ṭufayl saw them circumambulating (the Ka’ba) like dark camels, he said, ‘With such men as these is the custody of the Ka’ba preserved.” ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Abbās was very black and tall. Those of Abū Ṭālib’s family, who are the most noble of men, are black (sūd).” (Al-Jāḥiẓ, Fakhr al-sūdān ‘alā l-bidan, I:209.)
Ironically, the "Africaness" of al-Jahidh is identified primarily in the use of the term "as-swadan" to describe his grandfather (aside from the assumption that "black" equals African or that Arabs aren't "black"). Though as you can see in the previous quote, the term was also used for black-skinned Arabs. I say this not to suggest he did not have African ancestry, but what we know from him is that he was an Arab, and that the two identities are. Ot mutually exclusive. One thing I appreciate about Wesley Muhammad's research into Anti-Blackness in Arab and Muslim "Afrabia", is his lack of interest in appeasing the identity of "white Arabs".
Also, you could have used some more direct quotes from al-Jahidh if you're gonna reference things his said or his perspectives and work. Especially for that supposed "joke" about the rape of Medinian women. That's something I'd really like to hear in his words. InshaAllah you'll consider this in further discussions on the topic.
Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated
The term superiority is not appropriate to use since our prophet explicitly mentioned about it in a hadith.
So what do you suggest we do, ask Jahidh to write a new book?
@@Historyun
I want you to keep in mind of it and reflect upon the hadith.
@@ashifhassan1148 listen to the podcast and keep that in mind. If the hadith was being implemented then Jaahidh would have had no reason to write the book and the Zanj Revolts would never have erupted.
That's the whole point. No one is ignorant about what Islam teaches, sadly those teachings are not being implemented.
@@Historyun
I am not defending arabs or anyone. For example what are these arab countries doing for the Palestinians since they are starved to death? Secondly the best generations have gone. It was the first three generations. Our predecessors. So obviously there would be so much corruption after that. What I find disturbing is the usage of the word superiority. If the word is used for Islam, then its true. But to use that word for specific races, I don't think that is appropriate.
@@ashifhassan1148 Please listen to the podcast.
Y'all did it again, If you guys did a weekly podcast, I'd watch it. Is this book by al-Jaahidh available in English?
Good news is, this is a weekly podcast series. Jim Colville's book is available "Sobriety & Mirth", the other transitions are very limited and expensive
Great work very rare to see Islamic content not focusing on arab worship at the cost of Africans
I've never seen any such racist attitude. by the way, Arab bashing is racist.

@MA-yu6wt ironically, the last episode was dedicated to dispelling "myths of Arab INFERIORITY". No one complained then (and I understand Arabic, do not pity "us")
@@Historyunyeah I watched it in one setting and I really enjoyed it. I was not referring to your amazing content, rather the casual “Arabs are this and Arabs are that” that Muslims keep on spouting on the internet as if all the affairs of the Muslims are solely the responsibility of Gulf Arab countries. I’m currently halfway through this video and it’s been very interesting so far. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Absolutely fascinating !
Al-Jahiz had every right to defend whom he was and those Africans of that time. He wasn't provocative at all, when you go back in American history every Black leader that came that defended black ppl in Americans they were label as provocative and they were ostracized for doing so and even attacked and killed
How did the first arabs looked? How did prophet Muhammed SAW looked? How did Ali looked? How did the Sahabas looked? Diving into these questions and finding answers will change your perspective of Islam!

How do you measure mentally and spiritually? I’m sure if an Arab disagreed it would be viewed as racist.
That sounds pretty racist to me.
I’m not even gonna get onto the “mentally” part because that’s number one bs, the rest is supremacist bs and it doesn’t work in Islam. Every race can say they have something better than another.

Al Jahiz (776 A.D. - 868 A.D.) who was a multi-talented writer and scholar of the 9th century Islaamic World recorded that the Prophet Muhammad's father Abdullah; his grandfather, Abu Muttalib and his cousin and son-in-law, Amiyru'l Mu'iniyn Ali were all Nubian (Black men). Below is taken from Al Jahiz book entitled, The Glory of the Black Race:
"Abdullah Ibn Abbas was blackest in magnificence, and the family of Abu Talib were the most noble men; and they were Black, with Black"
Abdul Muttalib (497-579 A.D.), son of Haashim (464-510 A.D.), was the grandfather of the Prophet Muhammad. Now if he had ten (10) sons, one of those sons being Abdullah (545-570 A.D.), the father of the Prophet Muhammad, then it is only logical that Abdullah is Black. Abdullah is described as being "Black as night". So we can therefore say that his son Muhammad was Black also. In another excert from this same book The Glory of the Black Race by Al Jahiz, he states:
"Abd Al Muttalib fathered ten lords, Black as night and magnificent."
Where is the word Nubian even mentioned?
You do realise that the Arabic term "shadeed ul-Adhma" does not mean Black, right?
You have clearly not read his work in Arabic or had the proper translation given to you.

Good selected guest
Al-Jahiz's book, "The Glory of The Blacks Over The Whites: which was in pamphlet fom, was circulated widely around New York City by Black and Black Muslim street vendors in the 1980s. By the early 1990s, it was no where to be found. With the rise of Salafism in Black Muslim communities in the mid-1990s, any perceived links to Black nationalism that may have existed since 1960s, was eradicated. The outcome from that was a dearth of race consciousness amongst many Blackamerican Muslims.
This comment is Gold..any idea if there are any documents or academic sources for this epoch and movement? It would be very fascinating research material
@@Historyun The largest Black-led Sunni Muslim movement in the United States was the Dar-ul Islam movement, which was founded in 1962 or 63. It split up into different factions around 1983. In fact, Imam Jamil Al-Amin, formerly the Black nationalist leader, H. Rap Brown, led one of the communities in Atlanta, Georgia. Dar-ul Islam at onetime had 30 chapters around the United States.
Other movements you are probably familiar with are the Ansaaru-Allah Community/Nubian Islaamic Hebrews, and the smaller Afrikan Islamic Mission.
@brooklynstudent73 Indeed, I believe Imam Warith Deen's community was in fact the largest and most influential in that period. It was a vibrant yet brief period in the overall experience, the crossover between the mainstream civil rights era and the nascent Salafi transition of the 90s

No one is superior
Actually it should of been called “The Glory Of The Blacks Over The Whites” by Al Jahiz(RA) not Arabs because the real authentic Arab was from the darker ancient darker races of man or modernity what would later be called the so-called Black Race like the real lineage of the Prophet they were all pure Arabs,Bilad Al Sham use to be moor Black but unfortunately for the past 800 years they have been mixed with Circassian-Turkottomans and paler byzantine Roman who themselves were not originally pale themselves,many of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Greek Emperors such as Komnenos and Phokas were described as having curled hair mid sized noses,and complexions nearer to the Ethiopian of their time…

I understand that women who were concubines and non Muslim were not required to wear the hijab. but can some explain to me how a woman can still be a concubine and also a Muslim? And farther more be prohibited from wearing the hijab!
The prophet Muhammad ﷺ had Concubines who were Muslim, furthermore a Muslim can be enslaved. The Hijab was a function of Faith + Social status, therefore one needed to be both Muslim AND Free to wear one, in those days it was a sign of Freedom in a society where captives of war occupied the same social environment as the rest of society. The slave woman did not have the same restrictions imposed on the free woman, dress code was one such example and she could even walk with her entire breast exposed and hair out in public. Her dress code was the same as that of a man (only required to cover up from navel to the knees), this made it easier for them to do manual labour too (imagine farming or carrying produce back and forth with a full flowing gown and head covering in the heat of Arabia)
Further details will be provided in the next episode.
There are many misgivings about Muslim History.
Is there any Hadith or any verses from the Quran the support this claim? I want to learn I’m confused about how a Muslim can a slave to other Muslims. From my understanding Muslim cannot enslave other Muslims.
It happens when the slave becomes muslim after already being purchased@@blackjuice9743
@@blackjuice9743 Ibadi Muslims believe if a slave converts to Islam you must free them, Sunnis disagree
@@CallTo_Islam
I’m a Sunni Muslim and I have to disagree that’s it’s the belief of Sunnis not to free a slave if they become Muslim you could provide evidence of this Alhamdullilah! As a Muslim the Quran and and sunnah is my guide not what people practice

The best among you is he who fears Allah the most. Racism is haram in Islam.
Hes not saying arabs are better than blacks, HE Is saying that the ARABS ARE BLACK, you have to quote him right because he is speaking of the achievement of black arabs over the white
Originally, arabs are HABESHA people. The today's arabs are descendants of persians under the first reign of Abbasids. Persians have leverage in the Africa's continent too. It is sad that you do not know.
Arabs aren’t black. That’s a myth easily disproven by genetics and anthropology. There are/were dark Arabs of course and Arabs weren’t “pale”
@@TheGeezNationalist2024false modern Arabs are descendants of ancient Arabs. Look up some genetic studies, the Arab haplogroup is J1 which doesn’t belong to the Habesha or any African group.
He has deliberately done this which is quite disingenuous
Greeks had evolution ideas long before AlJahiz
Was he pro 33:00 yazid or was he just being cheeky?

Still ibn khaldun was racist. And no muslim like to talk about sub saharan slave trade.
One of the most effective ways to suppress a people is by putting a device that will disassociate those people from the god, spirituality, culture and their history, so the device in place that will ensure their perpetual empowerment over the minds of those whom the deceived
@mobmotivation6797 yes he was racist. And yes slavery in Arab word is still common. actually Arabs proffered more black slaves. White slaves could achieve more status from time to time. But black slaves couldn't. Black slaves would remain slaves for the rest of their lives in the islamic world. That's why it's called sub saharan slave trade. Because black people became the slave to do the worst job. Also black peoe also had to go through castration. And the father of Manasa Musa also wrote a letter to Egyptian ruler that even if they were muslims, the Arabs still raided and took black muslims as slaves.

Metabolites have been intellectually refuted for centuries by our ulama. Their is a famous hadith about Aqal, I can't remember the main of narration. It challenges not to put Aqal as if it is the be all and end all of human thought and our stupidity when it comes our knowledge of all things worldly. When Ali radi'Allah Anhu says about doing masaa over our leather sock in wudu and why we don't wipe underneath.
It's Mu'tazila not metabolites.

What kind of nonsense is this? How can the followers of the prophet descend to such divisive self-important rhetoric? This is now how a Muslim thinks. Period. Just because there are Muslims who are going against what the prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) preached and reverting to behaviours from the time of djahilia, doesn't mean that you should abase yourself to their level. You should be concerned with being a better Muslim with a better character and closer to the deen today than you were yesterday, not participating in a race to the bottom. I am a Muslim first and foremost, everything else comes after that.
Subuhanallah, no wonder the Muslim ummah is so weak today. We are busy talking nonsense about an issue that was resolved 1400 years ago by the advent of Islam, instead of focusing out energy on unity and protecting one another.
What a disgrace!
MashAllah very interesting but when he mentioned the scholar was mutalli I became uninterested
Among the affairs that cause (yūjib) one another: benefit causes love, harm hatred, opposition enmity, disagreement of opinion a sense of burden, agreement (of opinion) concord, honesty confidence while lying causes accusation. Reliability causes tranquillity, justice causes union of hearts, injustice causes division, good character causes affection, bad character causes separation, consolation causes intimacy, desolation causes loneliness, arrogance causes hatred, humility causes tenderness, intentional generosity causes praise, miserliness causes blame, idleness causes waste, seriousness makes work easy, tardiness causes sorrow, resoluteness causes happiness, imprudence causes regret, caution gives cause for excuse, and good administration makes blessing last, while disesteem causes mutual antagonism, and mutual antagonism is the entry to evil and cause of perdition.
The branches without doubt return to the roots, backsides connect to fronts, clients follow patrons, and the affairs of the world overlap in terms of similarity, (but) stand alone in terms of dissimilarity. They are the cause (‘illa) of one another, as rain is the cause of clouds, clouds the cause of water and humidity, the seed the cause of the field, and the field of the seed, while the chicken is the cause of the egg, and the egg the cause of the chicken, and the human the cause of the human.

There is no "superiority" of any ethnicity or any colored skin be it white, black, brown etc. in Islam.
"Black" concept is also not islamic and is a very european concept. But the concept of Arab and Ajam was there in Islam. And no doubt the not so great muslims after the khalifa e rashidoon did give in to their nafs and the arab governments did follow some policies of discrimination for which they faced retaliation from Non Arab Muslims. And many policies were subsequently changed and the Arab rulers themselves were corrupted because of these immoral acts and soon lost their power to turkik and persian muslims.
Ajam[non-arab] include Habashi[Abyysinians black overall in todays discourse], persians, zutts[hindustanis], etc.. not a color based group but a real ethnic group based off of culture, language and other characteristics

The messenger of Allah Salalahu alaihi wa salaam said in the last sermon & we true Muslims believe what our Lord said about him that he doesn't speak from his desires but it is revelation that he speaks when he said their isn't "No superiority over the Arab or non Arab maybe in other religions but not Islam this stinks like a died carcass so leave it

How can you say aljaheez was not a racist? Why would you even insinuate a black person can be racist it doesnt make sense. Racism is a culture its in islam and christianity, books specifhcally created to give certain races a godly orgin and other an ungodly origin. So you calling aljaheez not a racist is funny because he is participating in a culture(arab islam) that places him in a cast system and his at the bottom, so he cant even be racist to arab they will laugh in his face as he is not a human to them.
Waaow! Well, I'm writing this BEFORE listening to this show! I will delete it if I'm off topic. The ORIGINAL ARABS are BLACK! " Arabized Arabs" like the White Persians, Turks, and the Byzantines to an extent adopted the language and culture of The Black Arabs! The title is off!
Superior doesnt have to prove itself
Tell that to Darwin and other white supremacists who go to great lengths to document "scientific studies" in search of evidence for their race based theories. Tell that to the architects of Eugenics and Segregation.
Superiority doesn't have to prove itself when it is busy trying to disprove and disposes everyone else of their basic humanity.
AlhamdulillAh for Islam. We believe in racial egalitarianism.
@@Historyun you mistake the attempt to explain an indisputable and already manifested wide disparity of outcome for the wild and unsubstantiated hollow claims of the cultural magpie pretender trying to fabricate a complete fantasy into reality despite the lack of any kind of legitimate proof or evidence
@mobmotivation6797 it may be weak but it is supported by Qur'an (Surah Al Hujurat) and by the general comportment of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ towards people of different ethnicities, so it is Qawwiy bil Ma'na even if we insist that the statement is disputed
The interpretation you have given is erroneous given that Allah makes it clear "the most righteous are the most honourable" immediately after mentioning the diversity in tribes, the last part is the egalitarian principle we are talking about, it is what Allah concludes on and it is the 'illa we are concerned with here.
@@Historyun lol what utter nonsense....you have no evidence whatsoever of Darwin fabricating pseudoscientific lies based on what you call" white supremacist" ideology....
Also what gives you the idea that white people are responsible for inventing racism ,race based segregation or systematic hierarchies of ethnically attributed superiority?🤔...Next you'll be rolling out the other played out tired and ubiquitously parroted old fallacy narrative about them inventing human slavery too eh 👍😂....Meanwhile the entire tenets of Islamic religious dogma is explicitly definitive about it's ethnoreligious supremacist status over the non Muslim infidels, and goes to grant lengths to explain the ways it's permissible to exploit,denigrate and abuse them 🤔 exactly the same way the murderous bandit that they claim as their prophet built his power on doing.
