[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] I know what eunuchs are. This was a barbaric act. No doubt alot of the concubines probably did get rapped but many were rewarded with wealth and prosperity. You can read the Arabic annals which depict concubines of all nationalities not only gaining their freedom but fame in the Arab world. Most of the concubines in the Arab world were not black African women but mostly caucasian women whom the Arab males found more desirable. King, the notion that all concubines were raped and their babies killed is not historically accurate. I doubt Arabs would kill the offspring of their concubines if was his own. The reason why there are not more blacks in the middle east is simply because the fertility rates of black African concubines was very low and the amount of black women taken into concubinage was low. Most black African women were domestic slaves. Plus the Arab world had a tedency to assimilate their black African slaves into the overall population unlike in the western hemisphere. King, most of the slavers in the Arab world were actually Afro-Arab mixed individuals like Tibbu Tib. He was one of the most infamous slave catchers and widely known. Plus many Central African and Bantu Africans along the coast openly sold their war captives to Arabs. To say that Arab slavery was worst than western slavery is conjecture. In some ways it was probably worse but at least slaves in the Arabic world were protected under shariah law. There were no laws to protect slaves from abuse in the western world. Please understand I am no fan of the Arabs. You can read various posts I have made about the abuses of Arabs over indigenous Africans. I personally donot get the worship of Arabs demonstarted by many of this message board. King, Oman is hardly a pure Arabic state for most of their inhabitants are Persian, Hindu and even black African or Afro-Arabs. The existence of Swahili culture demonstartes that Arabs and Africans can exist without much racial tension. [/QB][/QUOTE]
