Slavery in Arabia predates Islam, Hebrew and pagan gulf Arab tribes Took war slaves form each other like ISIS. The end of slavery in the Middle East was a slow burn but was actually the result of ancient Islam offering “sin absolution” for freeing slaves

Not gonna agree with Molyneux on much. But the "American" slave trade only last for 89 years. Between 1619 (first slaves in the **English** colonies) and 1776, "America" didn't exist. Moreover, it was the Dutch who first began the slave trade in what we call "America" today.

You are really off with this claims. Would you be open to get @JonathanACBrown in your show to get the record straight?

Does he agree with you?

The terms they're using and their confidence in the #s mean this is not a serious discussion. Just whataboutism. I advise ignoring them.

I advise ignoring anyone who uses the term “whataboutism” whenever people are attempting to contextualize an issue. Context is required to understand anything. Whataboutism is the hallmark of laziness and not an argument.

I am a Nigerian and I am aware of the recent slavery in Libya. Slavery is not good no matter who does it. But the world would have exploded especially progressives if Libyans where Europeans. Progressives should visit North Africa and see how “African” they are now.

*were Europeans.

If it was Europeans being enslaved the progressives wouldn't care. No one would. However if the people doing the enslaving, or just not treating refugees like royalty, were European THEN you'd have a the story of the year.
