Therefore, negroes are submissive to slavery, because they have little that is essentially Human and have attributes that are quite similar to those of dumb animals, as we have stated.
— Ibn Khaldun, Muqaddimah
Most Muslim extremists look down on everyone not Muslim. Remember this when they liken their persecution to what blacks went through.
They would know.
Since Muslims are a minority in Western nations, they can’t be racist. On the other hand, Christians, who are a majority, and especially white Christians, can be nothing else. There is also a matter of predominant ideologies; but, as the “civil rights” businesses have made quite clear, the issues will not be discussed on merit, because that would be racist.
There is a lot of circular logic posing as rational thought in our modern world. The observance of selective history is instrumental in supporting the paradox and perpetuating the prejudice.
I’ve always wondered how anybody with half a brain can call somebody else sub-human when they have all the parts I have, in all the same places, and the same abilities I do. Sure, blacks have more melanin, but that’s about it.
Guess I’m too stoopid to be a racist. Wait! I’m white – that *automatically* makes me a racist.
Right?

Slightly off-topic, but so relevant. The rejection of free will has been proposed before, and, along with the similar themes in Muqaddimah, is a popular tale that manifests itself within liberal/progressive circles.
“My Brain Made Me Do It”
The acceptance that we are little more than a collection of cohesive objects, would herald the beginning of an epic crime spree. It would be the basis for rejecting individual dignity of some in favor of others, as structurally deficient people would be considered inherently inferior, and, in following, disposable.
This is quite the hilarious proposition. Humans still cannot explain the formation of the physical human body, other than to speculate on DNA’s role in mapping its development. Humans still cannot prove that the brain is the source of consciousness, rather than a means by which it is expressed. Humans still cannot explain the most fundamental observations, instead resorting to probabilistic models to predict behaviors. Furthermore, some humans go out of their way to reject evidentiary truths, while mindlessly accepting the speculation of some “scientists,” perpetuated through “teachers,” who would most appropriately be labeled as philosophers and propagandists, respectively.
The people who deny their faith in perceptions are the degenerates and psychopaths who pursue regimes of progressive involuntary exploitation. It is curious that this deficiency is not restricted by race, ethnicity, geographical origin, sex, or any other readily observable classification of individuals as some collective whole. It’s almost as if we lack a complete understanding of our universe, let alone fundamental knowledge of ourselves. Maybe we could use the oft-cited “dark matter” to fill in that expansive gap in our comprehension as well.
I think the eugenicists are alive and well. However, this time, instead of waiting for their predictions to be proven true, they will create the conditions by which they will become self-fulfilling.
Yet many blacks in this country are converting to Islam, the religion that may have contributed to their ancestors ending up in this country.
I saw something on another blog where Farrakan condemned Jews for their involvement in the slave trade. No mention whatsoever of Islam’s role.
I wonder how many in America today know who the slave traders at the other end, across the water, were?
The Machine:
According to “African slave trade” at wikipedia.org, at least some do; but, they go out of their way to rationalize the form of “slavery” which predated the Europeans’ arrival in Africa, as something, anything other than slavery. There is an interesting and relevant quote from that page:
This lazy categorizing homogenizes Africans and has become a part of the methodology of African history; not surprisingly, the Western media’s cottage industry on Africa has tapped into it to frame Africans in inchoate generalities allowing the media to describe local crisis in one African state as “African” problem
– Dr. Akurang-Parry, Ending the Slavery Blame, Ghana Web
The good doctor must be referring to liberals/progressives and their “civil rights” businesses. What is especially amusing, is that the profiteers of those businesses, continue to homogenize hundreds of millions of people based exclusively on their incidental physical features.
I am surprised to find such a revealing quote at a predominantly liberal site. The only way to explain this oversight, is that liberals are suffering from cognitive dissonance. At least some are aware of their profuse hypocrisy, but they still manage to console their conscience through their irregular consensus. Their ability to maintain a consensus, despite the inconsistencies in their many agendas, is what empowers their movement.
Bob,
Far too many American, and Europeans think “Slavery” was just an American or New World thing. Few bother to think about where most of the African slaves were taken, how they got there, and how they were treated. HINT: 90% went East out of Africa toward South Asia. And most of the men were castrated upon capture.
And just WHO conducted this slave trade – for thousands of years?
Long before there was Christianity or Islam, or a New World, – Arab peoples ran a thriving slave trade.
This is interesting Bob… didn’t know about the Muslim animus against black folks… and for all the pc nitwits out there who don’t know, where is slavery STILL going on? 10 bonus points for those who can answer.
In 2008, I remember seeing an Arabic poltical cartoon of a distraught looking Arab man looking at a picture of a woman with the label Clinton and a picture African looking man, with the label Obama. The caption read, “What’s a righteous man to do?” It made me wonder if African-American Muslims would be surprised by how they were treated in the Middle East.
I like the site with the racist statements from muslems. I bet old Sheets Byrd is looking up from hell right now and reading that site and thinking to himself that not even he hated blacks that much.
“Most Muslim extremists look down on everyone not Muslim.”
It’s not just the so-called extremists: all Moslems who take Islam seriously look down on all non-Moslems.
… and most Arab Moslems look down on all non-Arab Moslems. Especially if the non-Arab is black.
Islam is primarily a vehicle for Arab supremacism.
