Islamic slavery never ended — and Black people have been one of its core targets for 1,400 years. In this episode of Coffee & PI (Political Islam), Milan Podlipny (CSPII CEO) and Pastor Dumisani Washington (founder of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel) break it down:

  • Mohammed, Islam’s founder, owned, traded, and gifted slaves, and used female slaves for sexual pleasure.
  • Islamic slave masters castrated Black slaves by removing not only their testicles but their phalluses as well, with death rates up to 90%.
  • Estimated deaths of Africans caused by the Islamic slave trade reach 120,000,000 — more than all the deaths of World War II.
  • Open slave markets still operate in Libya, where Black people are sold for $300–400.
  • Smartphone apps even let buyers swipe to purchase African slaves.
  • Black Muslims are still called “Abd” (slave) / “Abeed” (slaves) — skin color overrides the rule against enslaving fellow Muslims.
  • The Nation of Islam in the USA pushed a false story of “Islamic Black liberation” without any historic and current reference to Islamic slavery of Africans and Mohammed’s biography.
  • Famous figures of the Nation of Islam like Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay) popularized Islamic teachings within the Black community in the USA and linked them to the Civil Rights Movement, which resulted in a gross misrepresentation of Islam as well as increased conversion rates, especially among young people.
