[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [qb] Arab slavery was much different than plantation chattel slavery in America. The Arab model was similiar to the African model in that a person could purchase their freedom or work for their freedom. Shariah law provided sanctions and guidelines on how to treat slaves. For instance it was against Islamic law to break up families or treat slaves inhumanely. This does not mean that such abuses existed but to say that contrary to American slavery there were laws that existed to protect slaves. Plus African slaves were assimilated into arab society and their descendants can be seen amongst all walks of life in the Arab world. The only time Arabs tried plantation based slavery was briefly under the Abbasaid caliph. The plantation system of slavery backfired on the Arabs leading to the Zanj rebellion. Black African slaves were mostly males who were employed as eunuchs, guards, soliders and concubines. [/qb][/QUOTE]When you say black African slaves were empolyed as eunuchs you realize that these men had their testicles forcibly cut off and that concubines, outnumbering male slaves were women forcibly confined and raped? Or are all these people just willing employees, 80% of whom died on importation routes? [/QB][/QUOTE]
