White Gold : The Extraordinary Story of Thomas Pellow and Islam's One Million White Slaves (Hardcover)
by Giles Milton
For this harrowing story of white captives in 18th-century Morocco, Milton (author of the highly praised Nathaniel's Nutmeg) draws primarily on the memoir of a Cornish cabin boy, Thomas Pellow, who was taken by Islamic pirates in 1716 and sold as a slave to the legendarily tyrannical Sultan Moulay Ismail. Pellow remained in Morocco for more than 20 years, his family barely recognizing him when he at last escaped home. Placing Pellow's tale within wider horizons, Milton describes how, during the 17th and 18th centuries, thousands of European captives were snatched from their coastal villages by Islamic slave traders intent on waging war on Christendom. Put into forced labor and appalling living conditions, they perished in huge numbers. As a pragmatic convert to Islam, Pellow fared better, earning a wife who bore him a daughter. Milton includes Pellow's years as a soldier in Moulay Ismail's army and draws out his cliff-hanging escape back to England. Pellow's sensational tale dominates the book, and though rendered in seductively poised prose, in the end it feels short on ideas and argument.

More on pillaging and slavery.
Two centuries ago, pirates from the Muslim states of Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli on North Africa's Barbary Coast terrorized Mediterranean sea lanes.
These notorious "Barbary pirates" attacked merchant vessels, boarded them, stole their cargo, and held their crews captive until their home countries agreed to pay a ransom. No ransom, and your countrymen got sold into slavery. Eventually, most countries found it easier simply to pay these "rogue states" a yearly tribute--in effect, protection money.

this was a great read
not one muslim has ever discussed the slavery issue not even black free muslim. muslim men and women in freedom say they are free, while not one muslim woman under islam says anything. i have picture of muslim arabs crucifying black men on crosses in sudan. sound like kkk to me.
daisy, i wonder why not one black muslims say nary a word about arab slavery of blacks. the arabic word for our "n" word is takruni. not one word.
malcolm x went to mecca and saw slavery and not one word was said. wonder why?

Escape from Slavery: The True Story of My Ten Years in Captivity and My Journey to Freedom in America (Hardcover)
by Francis Bok
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Seven-year-old Francis Piol Bol Buk was living happily on his family's southern Sudan farm. One day in 1986, he was sent on errands to the marketplace. There, a slave raid ripped him from his contented life and threw him into a wretched existence serving under a northern Sudanese Arab. After he escaped at age 17, Buk made his way to Cairo with a black market passport incorrectly listing his name as Bok and became a U.N. refugee allowed to settle in the U.S. in 1999. Although he found contentment in Iowa among other refugees, the following year Bok decided to work with an American antislavery organization, and testified before Congress about the atrocities in Sudan. While this is a remarkable story, its power is conveyed most effectively through Bok's simple retelling. His sincerity compels, especially when he describes the decade of mistreatment he endured. After two failed escape attempts, he's told he'll be killed in the morning, and while bound, he thinks of the morning ahead: "I would be dead and finally through with this place and this family. My mind preferred death." Yet when his master changes his mind, Bok immediately starts plotting again. For all his emotional strength, though, Bok remains humble. He thanks God and everyone who helps him escape slavery. This is a powerful, exceptionally well-told story, equally riveting and heartbreaking. Although legal strides have been made, with the help of people like Bok, the persistence of slavery in the world makes this a work that can't be ignored.

It’s official (?!) the well-known Muslim Students’ Association (MSA) has declared that it is a MISCONCEPTION by millions of Muslims to think that Islam is a religion of peace.
Straight from the horse’s mouth: those Islamic apologists who have tried to deceive the world by claiming that Islam means ‘peace’ is wrong! I’ve cut and pasted the declaration that Islam means ‘SUBMISSION’ and not ‘Peace’. It appears with other MISCONCEPTIONS about Islam.
Misconception 1
• the Arabic word Islam is derived from the Arabic word "Al-Salaam" which means peace.
It might seem strange to think of this as a misconception, but in fact it is. The root word of Islam is "al-silm" which means "submission" or "surrender." It is understood to mean "submission to Allah." In spite of whatever noble intention has caused many a Muslim to claim that Islam is derived primarily from peace, this is not true. Allah says in the Qur'an (translated):
[2:136] Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed to us and that which was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have surrendered. [Arabic "Muslimoon"]
A secondary root of Islam may be "Al-Salaam" (peace), however the text of the Qur'an makes it clear that Allah has clearly intended the focus of this way of life to be submission to Him. This entails submission to Him at all times, in times of peace, war, ease, or difficulty.

again you made a complete fool of yourself, talking to webmaster. your response was really evil, and uncaring as a true muslim should. They got what they deserved. Did arabs get what they deserved by remaining locked down mentaLLY FOR 1500 YRS, AND CONNING MILIONS OF LIKE MINDED MOBOTS TO SEE THE WORLD THROUGH HATE OF ALL UNBELIEVERS, WHILE USING THEM. MUSLIMS HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF MANY PEOPLE, THEN OVERTAKE THEM BY A CON, THEN CLAIM ALLAH SAID SO.
