We are scared to go to ANY Muslim country being black and Christians. There is racism everywhere but it is worse in Muslim countries against blacks and against Christians. Also I know people that are black Christians that were in Muslim countries and had really bad and scary experiences and glad they made it back alive. I know black people that live in Israel and would rather live there than Muslim countries. You couldn&#039;t pay me to live in a Muslim country.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m half black and I know this to be true. Too many ignorant black people in Africa can&#039;t see Muhammad forced you to be this religion after he made it up and came to get us as slaves! They were all Christian before he came! Islam did not even exist before Christianity. Muhammad was known for going around and telling people convert or die! Also I don&#039;t understand your racism towards Jewish people. Jesus was a Jew and loved all races Muhammad was a racist who owned slaves it is in the Muslim books! Jesus says to support Israel and even in the Quran it says it&#039;s for the Jews! It doesn&#039;t mean other races can&#039;t live there, they should but it is for Jews to run and a safe heaven for them. Muslim have their bunch of big countries and so do Christians so Jews need theres too. I have many friends that are have black and Jewish but I have not mean&#039;t have half black and Arab person yet because there are not many. They don&#039;t believe in mixing and say Muhammad was a white man and to kill any one who says other wise. They say black people are raisin heads and that the devil is black.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To begin with, the Quran justifies slavery, and often mentions slaves.  Here are some relevant verses:

33:50 - &quot;Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom God has given you as booty.&quot;

This verse clearly shows that Muslims believe that taking slaves in war was a God-given right.  These slaves were considered &#039;booty&#039; or the spoils of war.  As the saying goes:  to the victors go the spoils.

23:5 -   &quot;... except with their wives and slave girls, for these are lawful to them:...&quot;

The passage&#039;s context here (not quoted in full) details how Muslim males are allowed to have sexual relations with their wives and slave girls. Implicit in this is that Muslim males had slave-concubines.  70:30 is basically a repeat of 23:5.

Ibn Sa&#039;d&#039;s &quot;Tabaqat&quot;, gives a clear description of Muhammad having &quot;relations&quot; with at least one of his slave girls.  Muhammad had sexual relations with Mariyah, his Coptic slave.  Mariyah and her sister, Sirin were slaves given as gifts to Muhammad.  Muhammad gave Sirin to Hasan Thabit, the poet.  Ibn Sa&#039;d says that Muhammad &quot;liked Mariyah, who was of white complexion, with curly hair and pretty.&quot;  [Taken from Ibn Sa&#039;d&#039;s &quot;Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir&quot; (Book of the Major Classes), p151].

Ibn Sa&#039;d also writes that Mariyah bore Muhammad a son named Ibrahim.  He died 18 months later.  Sa&#039;d writes:  &quot;If he had lived, no maternal uncle of his would have remained in bondage&quot;, p164.  This shows that there were other Coptic slaves owned by the Muslims.

The Quran also instructs Muslims NOT to force their female slaves into prostitution (24:34), and even allows Muslims to marry slaves if they so desire (4:24), and to free them at times as a penalty for crime or sin (4:92, 5:89, 58:3) and even allows slaves to buy their liberty, if they meet certain of their master&#039;s conditions (24:33).  [90:10 &#039;freeing of a bondsman&#039; refers to Muslims ransoming other Muslims who were slaves of non-Muslims.]

While I think it&#039;s nice to allow a slave to obtain his freedom, (at his master&#039;s discretion) it is tragic that Islam allows them to be enslaved in the first place.  That&#039;s like robbing a bank and giving some of the money back to the bank, and thinking you did the right thing!

The above verses show that taking slaves was ordained by Allah, and that it was permissible for Muslim males to have sex with their female slaves.  It also shows that slaves were a valuable commodity to the Muslims, otherwise, Allah would not have imposed the penalty of freeing a slave to make up for a crime.

There are many Islamic writings that document how Muhammad took, purchased, sold, and gave away slaves.  The following quotes are from &quot;Behind the Veil&quot;.

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, a great scholar and Islamic historian says in his book &quot;Zad al-Ma&#039;ad&quot;, part 1, p160:

&quot;Muhammad had many male and female slaves.  He used to buy and sell them, but he purchased more slaves then he sold.  He once sold one black slave for two.  His purchases of slaves were more than he sold.&quot;

&quot;Muhammad had a number of black slaves.  One of them was named &#039;Mahran&#039;.  Muhammad forced him to do more labor than the average man. Whenever Muhammad went on a trip and he, or his people, got tired of carrying their stuff, he made Mahran carry it.  Mahran said &quot;Even if I were already carrying the load of 6 or 7 donkeys while we were on a journey, anyone who felt weak would throw his clothes or his shield or his sword on me so I would carry that, a heavy load&quot;.  Tabari and Jawziyya both record this, so Islam accepts this as true.&quot;

Ali, who was Muhammad&#039;s son-in-law, whipped Aisha&#039;s slave in front of Muhammad to make her talk about the adultery charges against Aisha.  Muhammad did not say a word to Ali about beating the female slave.  [From the Sirat Rasulallah, p496.]

In the Sirat Rasulallah, Muhammad massacred 800 males and took their women and children as slaves.  He kept at least one Jewish female named Rayhana as his concubine, and gave the rest away to the Muslims.  The Sirat says (p466) &quot;Then the apostle divided the property, wives, and children of Banu Qurayza among the Muslims....

and

&quot;Then the apostle sent Sa&#039;d Zayd brother of Ashhal with some of the captive women of Banu Qurayza to Najd and he sold them for horse and weapons.&quot;

One thing for certain:  MUHAMMAD WAS A SLAVER.  The names of many of Muhammad&#039;s slaves are detailed in Muslim writings and they can be found in &quot;Behind the Veil&quot;. 

Some Muslims claim that slaves under Islam were always treated fairly and kindly, and that slaves in the West were always treated like &quot;chattel&quot;.  The fact is that the real treatment slaves in both the west and under Islam has varied.  Some slaves were treated fairly, others were treated brutally.  Both the Quran and New Testament command masters to treat slaves fairly.  Compare Ephesians 6:9 with Sura 4:36.  Both are similar.  However, the New Testament condemns slave trading in 1 Tim 1:10  (menstealers is the same word for slave-traders), the Quran allows for, even urges slave-taking.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We can examine the history of the Sudan as a case in point. Before the Muslim invasion of 1275 A.D. by the Islamic Mamluks of Egypt, the Sudan had three mini-Christian states called:

NOBATIA in the north, the capital of Qustul

MAKURIA, the capital of old Dongola, and

ALODIA or ALWA, the capital of Soba.

       These three African Christian states, from 300 A.D. to 1500 A.D. had their own written language, great centers of learning, international commerce with Egypt, Ethiopia and other Middle East states, and sent out missionaries to other African states.

(Read K. Milhalowski,Faras, vol.2, Poland, 1965 for extensive archaeological and historical documentation on these states).

       Even the Arab, ibn Selim al-Assuani, was impressed when he saw Soba, describing it as having, ...fine buildings, roomy houses, churches, and the land is more fruitful than Makuria...[and it has] much meat, and good horses.

       All this was wantonly destroyed by Muslim invaders in 1275 A.D., not by European  Imperialism.

       The historical records show that the same type of massive destruction,slaughter,  subjugation, forced conversion and enslavement happened all over Africa, yet we never hear anyone holding the Muhammadan Muslims - both Arab and African Muslims - in any way responsible.

       No Arab or Muslim country has ever admitted fault or offered any kind of apology while the Europeans and Americans have.

        Why have Christian countries who traded in slavery offered apologies and not a SINGLE Muslim one?

Current incidences of large-scale slavery and near-slavery:

Sudan: There is considerable evidence that slavery is still practiced in a large scale in Sudan -- an estimated 14,000 people have been abducted since 1983. However, the existence of slavery is denied by the Sudanese government. Some western religious groups have attempted to buy freedom for individual slaves. Unfortunately, this has become counterproductive. 

It increases the profitability of enslavement as a commercial enterprise, and results in more slaves being created. 

The enslavement of the Dinkas in southern Sudan may be the most horrific and well-known example of contemporary slavery. According to 1993 U.S. State Department estimates, up to 90,000 blacks are owned by North African Arabs, and often sold as property in a thriving slave trade for as little as $15 per human being.

Animist tribes in southern Sudan are frequently invaded by Arab militias from the North, who kill the men and enslave the women and children. The Arabs consider it a traditional right to enslave southerners, and to own chattel slaves (slaves owned as personal property).

Physical mutilation is practiced upon these slaves not only to prevent escape, but to enforce the owners&#039; ideologies. According to an ASI report: &quot;Kon, a thirteen-year-old Dinka boy, was abducted by Arab nomads and taken to a merchant&#039;s house. There he found several Dinka men hobbling, their Achilles tendons cut because they refused to become Muslims. Threatened with the same treatment the boy converted.&quot;

In a detailed article by Charles Jacobs for the American Anti-Slavery Group (ASI), Jacobs recounts how a 10-year-old child was taken in a raid on her village in southern Sudan, and branded by her master with a hot iron pot.

Niger: Anti-Slavery International reported in mid-2003 that slavery is rampant in Niger, mostly in the southwestern Tillaberry region of that country. This occurs even though slavery is prohibited by the 
constitution and is being fought by stringent new laws. About 7% of the population - some 870,000 individuals are condemned to life-long servitude. Many are born into slavery and will remain slaves all of their life.

Programs of near-slavery: Anti-Slavery International (ASI) presented a paper to the United Nations Working Group on Contemporary Forms of Slavery which met in Geneva, Switzerland, 2003-JUN-16 to 20. 8 All of the major offending countries cited have large Hindu or Muslim majorities. ASI discussed the situation in Sudan and Niger as well as describing situations of near-slavery such as:

United Arab Emirates -- Child trafficking:  Although it is illegal to employ a child under the age of 15, hundreds of boys between four and ten are trafficked from South Asia to the UAE, India, Nepal and Pakistan -- Millions of men, women and children are used as forced and bonded labor in these countries. Most are dalit or 
from a low caste, or are from indigenous or minority groups. Laws against the caste system and against bonded labor exist but are not enforced.

Indonesia -- Forced labor and exploitation of migrant workers. &quot;Poverty and lack of opportunity in Indonesia have increased the number of Indonesians seeking work in Asia. Indonesia&#039;s lack of protection and the 
Government&#039;s existing system for women migrant domestics exposes them to trafficking and slavery.&quot;]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We can examine the history of the Sudan as a case in point. Before the Muslim invasion of 1275 A.D. by the Islamic Mamluks of Egypt, the Sudan had three mini-Christian states called:</p>
<p>NOBATIA in the north, the capital of Qustul</p>
<p>MAKURIA, the capital of old Dongola, and</p>
<p>ALODIA or ALWA, the capital of Soba.</p>
<p>       These three African Christian states, from 300 A.D. to 1500 A.D. had their own written language, great centers of learning, international commerce with Egypt, Ethiopia and other Middle East states, and sent out missionaries to other African states.</p>
<p>(Read K. Milhalowski,Faras, vol.2, Poland, 1965 for extensive archaeological and historical documentation on these states).</p>
<p>       Even the Arab, ibn Selim al-Assuani, was impressed when he saw Soba, describing it as having, &#8230;fine buildings, roomy houses, churches, and the land is more fruitful than Makuria&#8230;[and it has] much meat, and good horses.</p>
<p>       All this was wantonly destroyed by Muslim invaders in 1275 A.D., not by European  Imperialism.</p>
<p>       The historical records show that the same type of massive destruction,slaughter,  subjugation, forced conversion and enslavement happened all over Africa, yet we never hear anyone holding the Muhammadan Muslims &#8211; both Arab and African Muslims &#8211; in any way responsible.</p>
<p>       No Arab or Muslim country has ever admitted fault or offered any kind of apology while the Europeans and Americans have.</p>
<p>        Why have Christian countries who traded in slavery offered apologies and not a SINGLE Muslim one?</p>
