white slaves in 1641 and the ;muslim' slavers

[ralph]

just some BBC history --- http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/em ... s_01.shtml --- pretty interesting , trouble with muslims goes back a long time all the way to them invading and ruling Spain or andulusia for hundred of years .

The reason they captured slaves in Africa was to sell them to white Christians.

Pretty slanted history Ralph if you are just going to blame slave traders that were Muslims and ignore the fact that It was mostly
Christians that were their customers.

I don't think so Steve !! Also think that you are incorrect , the white slaves went to muslim lands to be used by muslims in harems , galley slaves , public works and other endeavours . I think that's talked about in the article Steve !!

Muslims are evil and need to wiped from the buttocks of the planet! Mohammed was a pedophile worthy of scorn and ridicule. The worst lie ever told by George W. Bush was the fallacy that Islam is a religion of peace. It is a suicidal cult.

BUSH again but yeah , you are correct John . Bush and his religion of peace was just an extension of 'compassionate conservatisn' or 'conservatism with its thousand points of light' . No matter what it was a 'bush' with faulty thinking and a 'bush' agenda . ------- imo !!
