Arab Muslim: World architecture of slavery in Africa

Sky Eclat said:

considered himself a Mahdi or descendant of the Prophet, the whole of Sudan from the ocean to Egypt, taking in all the plateaux of Africa - from the Nile to the Zambezi - was subject to manhunts and the sale of captives. This space was twice the size of Europe, and certain explorers estimated its population to be around 100 million in the 19th century. To have an idea of the evil, you must realize that these same observers stated that to hunt down and carry off 500,000 individuals, it was necessary to kill almost two million others (who resisted or tried to flee).

So if births had ceased at the time, then, in less than a half-century, the interior of Africa would be nothing but a desolate wasteland today. I do indeed find the word “genocide” suitable for this unprecedented enterprise. It must be stated that the disdain of the Arabs towards Africans was also a catalyst.

The famous Arab historian of the 14th century, Ibn-Khaldum, wrote: “The only people who accept slavery are the Negroes, because of an inferior degree of humanity, their place being closer to the level of animals.” The question then was: how to see to it that these “animals” did not reproduce in Arab-Muslim lands. For from the outset of the slave trade, the traders wanted to prevent them from becoming rooted. Since there was nothing metaphysical about it, castration appeared to be a practical solution.

And so, in this effort to abase human beings, if the Arabs sent most black women to harems, they mutilated the men, using rudimentary procedures that caused a terrifying mortality. The figures on this slave trade are quite simply harrowing. There are many who would like to see the Arab-Muslim slave trade forever veiled in oblivion, often in the name of a certain religious or even ideological solidarity. It is in fact a virtual pact signed and sealed between the descendants of the victims and those of the executioners, that leads to this denial.

Because in this sort of “Stockholm syndrome African-style,” all of these fine people agree to place everything on the shoulders of the West. The selective silence surrounding the Arab-Muslim crimes against black peoples in effect points the root cause solely at the American transatlantic trade. This is the cement binding together Arabs and Negro-Africans, who have long been “fellow victims” of Western colonialism. That Arab-Muslim writers and other intellectuals attempt to

Make even the simplest memory of this infamy disappear, as if it had never existed, is easily understood. On the other hand, what is harder to grasp is the attitude of many researchers, and even of African Americans who are converting more and more to Islam. This attitude is not always healthy and is strongly influenced by a sort of self-censorship. As if evoking the slave trading past of Arab-Muslims is in some way tantamount to minimizing the American transatlantic trade.

In Africa, one Muslim Arab Sudanese group attacked the neighboring black people simply to convert them to Islam. Mahdi and his troop, tortured and killed many, their children sold as a slaves. Originally from the Sultanate of Oman, King Tippo Tippo, under the title of Sultan of Zanzibar, moved his army northward. Soon the majority of African slave ports fell under his control.

From this position of power, he sent slaves to the great markets in Udjidji, Tanzania, and Mombasa, Kenya. Meanwhile, Sefu, son of Tippo Tippo was the king of the region of Kasongo in Congo, now Democratic Republic of Congo. On the death of Tippo Tippo, his nephew Rachid succeeded him. Mohara, The king of the region of Nyangwe, sultan Rumaliza king of Udjidji Tanzania hunted populations in the shores of Lake Tanganyika to sell them as slaves. Still in the same period, Ngongo Lutete, head of the Congolese region of Lomami, unable to battle against the army of the Arabs finally agreed to kneel down and arrest his own population to sell them as slaves to Arabs.

In the other side, the Cardinal Lavigerie preached Across Europe against slavery. He bought slaves and resumed their liberty. In 1889, King Leopold II of Belgium organizes a conference in Brussels which brings together 17 nations in order to definitively prohibit the slave trade. Thus, a law was signed repealing any purchase or sale of human beings through the entire African territory.

During the same conference, a law prohibiting the delivery of weapons to the Arabs country by European countries was signed. Faced to the refusal of Arabs to work together to abolish slavery, Leopold II built two camps at Basoko and Lusambo in Congo to protect people and prevent Arabs to travel along the Congo River. Europeans and the Congolese army [composed of many tribes] were therefore faced to an army of Arab [more than 34,000 men] well equipped In southern Congo, the chief Ngongo Lutete for whom slavery was a very good deal launched a first attack to Lusambo, but without success. He tried to go through Sankuru, but the Congolese troops under the control of Commander Dhanis {Belgian} inflicted him a crushing defeat. Lutete and his troops signed an armistice and abandoned the hunt of slaves.

Sheik Saleh Al-Fawzan is a well-known scholar, leading Saudi Government cleric, and prolific author of the country’s religious curriculum. He believes Islam advocates slavery. Al-Fawzan argues against the idea that slavery has ever been abolished, insulting those who espouse this view as “ignorant, not scholars. They are merely writers. Whoever says such things is an infidel.” This is a man of great influence within the Muslim world. Al-Fawzan is a member of the Council of Religious Edicts and Research, the Imam of Prince Mitaeb Mosque in Riyadh and a professor at Imam Mohamed Bin Saud Islamic University, Saudi Arabia’s main center of learning for the strict Wahhabi interpretation of Islam. Al-Fawzan is a leading opponent of curriculum reform; he opposes elections and peaceful demonstrations as Western influences, is against Arab women

What is Slavery? First, let’s establish the definition of slavery. The United Nations defines slavery to be “the status or condition of a person over whom any or all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership are exercised” and slave as “a person in such condition or status”. But there are many types of slavery. Chattel slaves are property and can be traded as such. They have no rights, are expected to perform labor (and sexual favors) at the command of a slave master. This is the form of slavery practiced in the Americas during the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

There are reports that chattel slavery still exists in Islamic North Africa, in such countries as Mauritania and Sudan (despite both countries being participants in the 1956 UN slavery convention). One example is that of Francis Bok, who was taken into bondage during a raid on his village in southern Sudan in 1986 at the age of seven, and spent ten years as a chattel slave in the north of Sudan before escaping.

The Sudanese government denies the continued existence of slavery in its country. Debt bondage, bonded labor, or peonage, is a type of slavery that involves the use of people as collateral against debt. Labor is provided by the person who owes the debt, or a relative (typically a child). It was unusual for a bonded laborer to escape their debt, since further costs would accrue during the period of bondage (food, clothing, shelter), and it was common for the debt to be inherited across generations. In the Americas, peonage was extended to include criminal peonage, where prisoners sentenced to hard labor were ‘farmed out’ to private or governmental groups. Africa has its own unique version of debt bondage called pawn ship. Some claim that this was

this was a much milder form of debt bondage compared to that experienced elsewhere, since it would occur on a family or community basis where social ties existed between debtor and creditor. Forced labor, otherwise known as “unfree” labor, was based on the threat of violence against the laborer (or their family). Laborers contracted for a specific period would find themselves unable to escape their so-called employers.

This was used to an overwhelming extent in King Leopold’s Congo Free State and on Portuguese plantations of Cape Verde and San Tome. Serfdom is a term usually restricted to medieval Europe in which a tenant farmer was bound to a section of land and was thus under the control of a landlord. The serf achieved subsistence through the cultivation of their lord’s land, and was liable to provide other services, such as working on other sections of land or joining a war-band. A serf was tied to the land, and could not leave without his lord’s permission. A serf also required permission to marry, to sell goods, or to change their occupation.

Any legal redress lay with the lord. Although this is considered a European condition, the circumstances of servitude are not unlike those experienced under several African kingdoms, such as that of the Zulu in the early nineteenth century. When did slavery begin? Slavery began long before there was the written word. One of the earliest accounts is in the Old Testament, Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery in Egypt because they were jealous of the good relationship he had with their parents.

They wanted him out of the way. In fact, Joseph was not the only slave in Egypt at that time. There were already hundreds, perhaps thousands, of black slaves constructing the pyramids. Many years later, in the time of the Prophet Muhammad, there were already a significant number of black slaves in Saudi Arabia. The most famous was Bilal. From the earliest writings, it is apparent that other Arab countries also imported slaves from Africa. Thus, we can safely say that slavery began long before the birth of Jesus Christ and persisted long after his death. Today, we view slavery from the prism of a global civilization. We look at the atrocities committed throughout history, from

ancient Egyptian slavery to the modern Jewish holocaust, and wonder what religion could legitimate or endorse such actions. We must ask ourselves, how does Islam permit slavery, even while its teachings and its laws were intended to liberate humanity from servitude in whatever form? True Muslims believe God revealed Islam for the happiness of all mankind, all generations, for all time.

How does this allow slavery? How did this religion, founded on complete equality, returning the entire human race to a single origin, and treating all men on an equal footing by virtue of this common origin, integrate slavery in its system and legislated about it? Could it be that Allah wants men divided forever into two categories: masters and slaves? Is this God’s will on earth? It seems so. Does not Allah address the human race by saying… “Verily, we have honored the sons of Adam, they will be a commodity that is bought and sold like mules”.
