White men with Bibles were the ones to argue successfully for the abolition of criminal kidnap-slavery.
US Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett wants the Trump administration to keep Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion polices because no white man was ever enslaved, she claims.
Writes Raymond Ibrahim, "In response to Crockett’s rhetorical questions—“which white man was dragged out of their homes!”—we can safely say that at least 4.25 million Europeans were enslaved by non-whites (Mongols and Arabs) between just 1450-1780.
"Records for specific years also exist. In 1438, Bartolomeo de Giano, an Italian Franciscan described the Turkic slave raids throughout the Balkans. From Hungary, 300,000 were enslaved and “carried off in just a few days.” From Serbia and Transylvania, 100,000 were “led away in iron fetters tied to the backs of horses … [and] women and children were herded by dogs without any mercy or piety. If one of them slowed down, unable to walk further because of thirst or pain, O Good Jesus! she immediately ended her life there in torment, cut in half.”
"The slave markets of the Ottoman sultanate were for centuries so inundated with European flesh that children sold for pennies, “a very beautiful slave woman was exchanged for a pair of boots, and four Serbian slaves were traded for a horse.”
Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His godly ones.
Psalm 116:15
Rod Dreher asks, "I don’t understand why the government doesn’t deploy the army and shoot rioters until they stop. Philippe Lemoine, a Frenchman, says it’s not that simple."
Excerpt:
"We have let things rot for so long that, at this point, relying primarily on force to restore order would require a degree of violence far greater than what people realize and what is politically feasible.
It's possible to contain a riot using only moderate force when the number of police officers is high relative to the number of rioters, but when riots are so widespread and involve so many people because you have allowed this kind of things to happen for so long, that's just not possible and you have to use extreme violence to make up for the lack of manpower.
I know people on the Internet will say that it doesn't matter and that we should just do it, but the reality is that most of the people in charge are not prepared to use that kind of force and neither would most ordinary people if they saw ...
Even Marine Le Pen’s recent statements track this line: personal Islamic practice is compatible with the Republic; replacing French law with Sharia is not. French Muslims who are simply citizens practicing their "religious faith" “have no reason to worry” about a Le Pen election victory.
But can one be a practicing Muslim without demanding and practicing Sharia?
