Those wondering bout this psuedo-conversion thing, allow me to explain. Unlike Christianity or Judaism, in Islam one is allowed to pretend to convert to another religion when threatened to preserve their life, so long as inwardly they continue to truly believe. Many Muslim slaves had to pretend to convert to Christianity to placate their masters. The man including Quranic verses in his biography seems to show he was still a Muslim but had only pretended to convert as many other slaves did. obviously, when it comes to dead people we can never really know and there is, of course, a chance he did genuinely decide to become Christain.

Do the math. 10 to 12 million people transported to a place in boats that could only hold 200 people at a time? That would take 50,000 to 60,000 successful trips. Yet, no one has ever seen the relic, trace, or wreckage of an actual slave ship. If this is true, How can that be?

This video is very emotional and has a good sense of revolutionary. But still there will be the people "who shoot their hate comments (he also did that) ( he also did this) etcetera." But the core message will be over gone through their mind. And they just continue the same fKing distraction tactics. DON'T PLAY THEIR GAMES OH WISE!...

Will you be making videos of the millions of Christians who were enslaved by Muslims in the middle ages or history starts with colonialism in your channel?

[@ilmaazmol6698]

If you mean the Ottoman Empire (Muslim rulers) than yes, they had taken young Christian men by the name of Janissaries to serve their nation. But instead of taking snippets, you should learn of the moral ways they were treated; they were not even “encouraged” to convert, and were praised highly, taking elite positions under the sultan. Consequently, our kindness had allowed those Janissaries to tear down the Ottoman Empire and seize control.

There was a very specific reason why Slave owners did not allow their slaves to practice their original religion or to speak their native tongue... And this was why. Most of you all would be shocked if you really knew just how many slaves there were who were fluent in Arabic back during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.

slavery is a big chapter in african history, source of income & prosperity for rulling tribes. ironically, muslim arabs-african were a big player in this slave trade in africa. it is a history that most muslim today are so embarassed to admitted that they try to deny it or forget about it.

[@lylecrawford2794]

It is still widely practiced in the Muslim world today, and I have heard many Imams still talking about seizing other people's lands today. The lack of self reflection is astounding. Many Europeans died fighting to _end_ slavery, the Muslims never apologised for enslaving Europeans during the Barbary slave trade, but we are constantly reminded of bad things our ancestors did. Their own prophet was a slave owner.

[@anasosman7225]
