#1 Why shouldn't Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya pay slavery reparations to Europe and North America?

#2 Not likely to catch on.

Needs to be framed incrementally to achieve any measure of success. It requires an over-arching political theme such as..... 'Income Inequality' or 'War on Poverty' for example. Bits added over time so as to nearly go unnoticed and not cause egregious paid to the poor bastids picking up the tab.

It eventually becomes a sort of 'Bring and Buy' or church bazaar menu of benefits [except the recipients never actually Bring or Buy anything]. It's all free or nearly so; council housing, food cards, education, fones, electricity credits, mortgages, national health care, endless unemployment insurance, Earned Income Tax Credits, and employment preference....for the one or two who wish to work.

It will work, you'll see.

#6 Do the Britons get reparations from the Moors? Shows it pays to work your slaves to death. No one left to complain.

#7 Don't let's forget that the Mamluks were for centuries kidnapped slavic boys. Egypt owes a major debt to eastern Europe for their current existence as a Muslim nation.
