        ....and Muslims have been enslaving black Africans for 1400 years. They are still sold at auction in Libya.

        Slavery is banned in all Muslim societies, including Libya. Christians enslaved more people including Africans for 1,800 years. @kallbymike @ElementsRook @ElementsRook @Freemadw @DargaiHeights @Bullwinkle19 @Ballix66

        A 5 sec search on YouTube: https://youtu.be/0j5Ps3J8OAk  There are many, many more. Muslims have been buying and selling slaves for centuries. They still are.

        That's slave labour, no classical slavery, and it's banned in all Muslim societies and the people who did this were prosecuted for breaking the law. Christians have bullied dehumanized and traded slaves for millennia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_slavery_in_the_United_States …

        Nobody denies that, but Christians enslaved far more people and treated them far more horribly than other group in history.

        https://youtu.be/2S2qtGisT34  Where in Christian countries is this happening now? You can talk about historical wrongs all you like. You can try to convince yourself that Muslims are good guys because Christians were "worse" Arabs are selling people. In 2018. That should disgust you

        And why not? There are many elements to the human condition, and we can’t pick and choose which occur when. Not everything that's relevant to you is relevant to others; not everything you value is valued by others; not everything that affects you affects others....and vice-versa.

        Others weren’t loaded by black People but stolen and loaded by the human captures. It’s possible this tweet might backfire terribly. Just a slim possibility

        Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani ignores if he was allowed a choice? Well, he cd hv fought and died; that he chose to live wont apportion to him the responsibility for the crimes of Whiteskinned traders.

        There was an interesting chapter in John Reader’s “Africa: Biography of a Continent” dealing with that.
