More of allahs tender mercies! Trust them they are just so moral and decent! I blush to think I ever doubted or mistrusted them! 😊
Thank you for the story 😃
Remind me how many more decades slavery existed in the US
They bought some and then sent them back. They were super disappointed after buying white American slaves in North Africa. They said this is the last time. Fool me once you ain’t fool me again.

Yeeaaah Jesus' disciples in America were doing the same and worse things to natives, Africans and Chinese. Seems like the followers of those Middle Eastern religions just fuck up everything they put their eyes on.
THIS VIDEO OFFENDS ME!
Americans enslaved blacks from Africa They are still in USA about 30 million
But it was ok too take African slaves too America and west indies. That was ok .
Hypocrites
Thank you for talking about this. My paternal grandmother’s family were Barbary corsairs . My dad and his family always referred to their occupation/trade as missionary work😅 My father’s family lost most of their wealth due to the abolishment of slavery.
Bollocks, they didn't! The USA wanted to keep Slavery! It was the BRITISH ROYAL NAVY, and the will of the BRITISH PEOPLE that achieved this! Don't try and rewrite History for America to make them look good! Looking at American Politics today, they're trying to bring it back!
