Slavery is sanctioned under Islam and rampant in the Muslim world. In Mauritania, for example, 20% of the population is made of up blacks who are enslaved by Muslims. It’s at epidemic  levels in Libya. When I created an outdoor ad campaign (below) highlighting slavery under Muslim rule, I was smeared, defamed and libeled as an islamophobe.

A world under the spell of Islam is hell on earth.

I am surprised Reuters reported on it. But they did include a section called “Two Sides To Every Story.” There are two sides to slavery?

Black Lives Matter, but not in Mauritania, it seems. BLM actually aligns with terror-tied Muslim groups who provide cover the most brutal and extreme system of governance in the world — sharia.

African migrants report torture, slavery in Algeria

Nellie Peyton, Reuters, May 31, 2018:

DAKAR (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Dozens of Africans say they were sold for labour and trapped in slavery in Algeria in what aid agencies fear may be a widening trend of abusing migrants headed for a new life in Europe.

Algerian authorities could not be reached for comment and several experts cast doubt on claims that such abuses are widespread in the north African country.

The tightly governed state has become a popular gateway to the Mediterranean since it became tougher to pass through Libya, where slavery, rape and torture are rife.

Amid a surge in anti-migrant sentiment, Algeria since late last year has sent thousands of migrants back over its southern border into Niger, according to the United Nations Migration Agency (IOM), where many tell stories of exploitation.

The scale of abuse is not known, but an IOM survey of thousands of migrants suggested it could rival Libya.

The Thomson Reuters Foundation heard detailed accounts of forced labour and slavery from an international charity and a local association in Agadez, Niger’s main migrant transit hub, and interviewed two of the victims by telephone.

“The first time they sold me for 100,000 CFA francs ($170),” said Ousmane Bah, a 21-year-old from Guinea who said he was sold twice in Algeria by unknown captors and worked in construction.

“They took our passports. They hit us. We didn’t eat. We didn’t drink,” he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. “I was a slave for six months.”

Accounts of abuse are similar, said Abdoulaye Maizoumbou, a project coordinator for global charity Catholic Relief Services. Of about 30 migrants he met who were deported from Algeria, about 20 said they had been enslaved, he said.

In most cases, migrants said they were sold in and around the southern city of Tamanrasset shortly after entering the country, often by smugglers of their own nationality, he said.

Some said they were tortured in order to blackmail their parents into paying the captors, but even when the money arrived they were forced to work for no pay, or sold, said Maizoumbou.

One man told the Thomson Reuters Foundation he slept in a sheep pen and suffered beatings if an animal got sick or dirty.

“They would bring out machetes and I would get on my knees and apologise and they would let it go,” said Ogounidje Tange Mazu, from Togo.

The IOM in Algeria has received three reports this year from friends and relatives of African migrants held hostage and forced to work in the country. “It’s probably just an indication that it is happening. How big it is we don’t know,” said its chief of mission Pascal Reyntjens.

Algerian authorities could not be reached for comment, but a senior official said last week the country is facing a “surge of migration” and needs more help. [nL5N1ST568]

In a statement this month, the government rejected reports from a U.N. human rights team that its mass deportations of migrants were inhuman, saying that it is doing what is necessary to ensure the safety of its citizens.

“I would be very surprised that (slavery) would be allowed to happen in Algeria,” said Issandr El Amrani, North Africa project director for the International Crisis Group.

Spoken like a true Muslim.

“The situation is just not comparable to Libya,” he added.

But in the ghettos of Agadez, Niger’s main transit hub, some people told a different story.

“What happens in Algeria surpasses what happens in Libya,” said Bachir Amma, a Nigerien ex-smuggler who runs a football club and a local association to inform migrants of the risks.

Migrants in Libya are often starved and beaten by armed groups, and there have been reports of “open slave markets” where migrants are put on sale, according to the U.N. human rights office.

While true, please understand: They’d never read nor believe it even if they read it. They’re agenda-driven and have a deep and abiding aversion to the truth. So they live in perpetual denial.

You just have to read, “Slave: My True Story” written by Mende Nazer in 1992 to realize that slavery is still practiced today. At age 12 Arab terrorists went through her village murdering the adults and rounding up the children for slaves where she was sold to a wealthy Arab family who called her “Yebit”, or “black slave”. She called them all “master” and ate the family leftovers like a dog. She had no rights, no freedom, and no life. Seven years later she was sold to another master, an Islamic politician working in England. It was there she escaped because the people helped her. Then she wrote this book with the help of Damien Lewis. Slavery is still being practiced today.

It’s practiced anywhere people think they can get away with it. A few years ago, a BLACK family was caught enslaving fellow blacks and abusing them as slaves. Slavery knows no skin color!

Here’s another one where her Egyptian parents sold her into slavery and she wound up in Calif.
…
“Both Ibrahim and Motelib were convicted and sentenced to two to three years in prison. Motelib was deported back to Egypt but her husband may still be living in Southern California. ”
…
Her owners were MUSLIMS.

Islam has always treated blacks as slaves. The Muslim Arabs ran the slave trade in Africa and they are Abeeds to the Arabs.
When black slaves were taken, they were castrated.

The U.N. serves no purpose any more. The U.S. needs to LEAVE and KICK the out of our country. We also need to end ALL AID to ALL Muslim countries. Let other Muslin countries take them in or PAY for them. No more MUSLIM refugees either. They re NOT our problem.

I was happy to hear Trump said NO to the other savages on Australia’s island that they didn’t want. Obama set that up when Trump won. We did take maybe a 100 or less but the Obama deal was to take nearly 2,000 of them. Thankfully Turnbull was apologetic and Trump called him on that to back out of Obama’s deal and not take the rest of the Muslims from their island.

Ironically the call to Trump and Turnbull, was not only leaked but a transcript was available nailng Turnbull’s offer of you don’t have to go along with this. Turnbull is a freaking liberal that hates the U.S. and happy to help Obama betray us. The plan was to keep loading us up with the Muslim savages. Hillary was not supposed to win! In case something did go wrong – the “insurance policy” Russian collusion -was supposed to get him out. It’s not working.
