[b]His reign was infamous in that he consolidated his power around the East African slave trade.[/b] ^^^^^ what do you have to say about his infamous role in the East African slave trade were women were made into sex servants and men were killed or castrated, worked to death in salt mines, or made into household servants. Most died, as much as 80% in transit [/qb][/QUOTE]This is his father: [IMG]http://www.royalark.net/Oman/oman-said.jpg[/IMG] Sayyid Sa’id bin Sultan bin Al-Imam Ahmad bin Sa’id Al-Busaidi Al-Yemeni Al-‘Omani Al-Azdi, Sultan of Muscat, Oman and Zanzibar Read what it says about him (his father): "Signed the Moresby Treaty with the British in 1822, in which he made the sale of slaves to Christian powers illegal throughout his dominions. Removed his residence to Zanzibar in 1832 (permanently in 1840). Established permanent diplomatic relations with the USA in 1836, and the UK in 1840. Recognised as Sultan of Muscat, Oman and Zanzibar, by virtue of the Hamerton Treaty of 2nd October 1845, in which he outlawed the export of slaves from his African empire." "He also maintained over seventy-five sarari (concubines), including (a) Najm us-Sabah (d. in childbirth, at Muscat, Oman, 1817), an Assyrian lady. m. (b) Khurshid, an Indian lady from Malabar. m. (c) Madina (d.s.p.), a Circassian. m. (d) Sarah (d. at the Bait al-Sahel, Stone Town, Unguja, ca. 1849), a Circassian. m. (e) a sister of Sarah, a Circassian. m. (f) Jilfidan (d. from cholera, at the Bait al-Tani, Zanzibar, 1859), daughter of a Circassian farmer and captured in a raid by Albanians. m. (g) Fatala, an Ethiopian. m. (h) Taj, a Georgian. m. (i) Nur us-Sabah. Circassians, Albanians, Georgians... Is the picture becoming clearer to you Lioness et al? [/qb][/QUOTE]I am glad you posted this Tariq. Unfortunately because of some of the racist comments made toward fair-skinned Middle Eastern peoples on these threads some people can't take seriously the fact that many of these sultans and nobles of the Gulf and Arabia are the descendants of Circassians (Turks) and other non-Arab concubines. Meanwhile the texts mention large numbers of Iranian settlers descendants of Carmathians and MJawali also in these south Arabian areas. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes Dana. And when I have time inshaAllah I'll post a longer list of those with non-Arab mothers. [/QB][/QUOTE]
