| #6 procopius - the Portugese (and later Europeans) basically told the local kingdoms what they wanted, and the kingdoms then raided each other to get product for the Portugese. The Portugese in particular were knee deep in the politics of several african kingdoms. This is documented in Hugh Thomas on the slave trade (which ALSO documents Muslim involvement in the slave trade, BTW) |

| #5 One of the interesting things is that Osama owns (personally) one of the largest slave workforce in the world: He owns a series of Hallal fruit and vegetable plantations called "Sacred Fruits". Each plantaion has hundreds of slaves as workers. Al |

| #4 Slavery within the religion of peace against black Africans? So, not only is there slavery but there is racism? I'm astounded. Not! Why anybody embraces this death culture is beyond me. Islam is the enemy of the West; culturally, ideologically, and any other way you can think of. |

| #2 Somewhere in the "White Guilt 101" indoctrination class in America's public school, someone sorta left out that the Euros didn't conduct massive slave raids deep into Africa to support the trans-Atlantic business. They waited at ports for other Africans to bring in the losers of the latest sorting out in the land beyond the coast for barter or trade for Euro goods. They seem to skip over that part that even goes on today. Doesn't help sell the guilt to reap power and money for nothing scam. |

| #1 No, no, it's cool. I asked Laura Bush and she explained this is all part of their culture. |
