Our Forefathers were free men in chains who are the former educators of nations of Europe for 700. 1492, fall of Granada Al Andalusia 🇲🇦 we lost our stronghold and the Moors and Caliphate were kicked out of what's Spain and Portugal today. All of that is African History because before that, they couldn't travel (Christopher Columbus) or even try to come into Africa. We controlled the silk trade. Mali King Mensa Musa is still the richest in recorded history, that's us. We were Judean, Christian, Arab and Muslim then, but unified as Africans under the Moorish Empire under our sultans and families.

Graciela Bonilla I call all individuals involved ‘dear’ because until someone dies there is still a chance for repentance and restitution. In reality neither the slave nor the slave owner are without fault. Muslims talk about how jihad is primarily an internal struggle for right living, something that never ends. The one who enslaves and any others working as masters/owners in the slavery chain are likewise at fault and that fault is easily visible for all to see. All the people involved have a struggle for right living. Perhaps it’s an issue of perspective but getting into the nuance may shift one’s perspective. Understanding nuance takes time and a compassionate ear. But remember that the Muslims who were enslaved enslaved others themselves, which was the point of my previous comment. What about those Muslim enslaved people? Are they unimportant because they weren’t effected the Atlantic Slave Trade? Should Senegal, Mali and the Muslim people start recording those people’s experiences and preparing reparations for the tens of generations affected?

The region he specifies exists in Senégal today. Fuuta Toro is a region along the Senégal river. The practice of flood recession agriculture, similar to that of the Nile, enabled great agricultural prosperity as well as political organization and erudition. I’ve had the great fortune to visit my village in Thioubalel which is in fact located Between two rivers in Fuuta. My grandfather wrote using Arabic characters in The Pulaar language of the Fulani to other scholars and religious leaders. The Almamyat (Islamic Republic) of Fuuta Tooro was created in 1776 explicitly to protect citizens from foreign invasion and slavery. Anyone able to recite the Koran would be deemed a citizen and no one had the right to take them. This story is deeply touching to me on a personal level. Thanks to the LOC and the OP for this important work.

@@clementchachuwatanko5686 Thank you, there are some in America who do know actual history and that Africans did enslave and sell other Africans. There are some who know of the Muslim Slave Trade that had existed for over a 1,000 years when this man was captured and sold. The man they talk about has a Arab name, Omar Ibn Said, which tells you of the conquest by Islam of Africa starting after 632 AD, first of North Africa then expanding into the sub Sahara. Why does a Black African have a Arab name? That escapes notice and is never mentioned. Through the Arab conquest, convert, submit or die he was either born into Islam or converted, more than likely was born a Muslim since the Arab conquest happened over a 1,000 years earlier and his relatives faced the previous dilemma. You can see this today as North African countries are still considered Arab, their long ago indigenous cultures replaced with Arab/Islamic culture. They say there are more slaves in number today than back in the mid 1800's. I'm afraid the slave trade is alive today, whether Islamic or by others.

I'm inclined to believe that most slaves were highly educated and spiritual like this man. I mean think about it...they already knew agriculture, livestock and survival tactics when they arrived here. They taught the whites. Plus, they were able to survive the long, filthy, grueling trip across seas and then still survived and produced strong offspring after living a life of constant backbreaking labor and starvation. Europeans were either 1)too stupid to understand the blacks advanced capabilities or 2)too jealous/fearful to let history reflect the superiority of the african race.

It’s difficult and dangerous work but very rewarding and fulfilling. I’m sure these groups would appreciate your help and encouragement. Maybe you could help with the Indians and South East Asians trapped in the UAE who are forced to work as slaves.

To call them masters seems like an undeserved compliment and position of status. It’s also more accurate to call the people the enslaved (vs. slaves). It was something that was done to them. It didn’t define who they were.

A Nigerian Muslim woman from a family of wealth was recently challenged about giving back because of the wealth they had accumulated from selling other blacks; and she admitted they made a fortune; and would give none back. And she had gotten in to an elite American University partially as Affirmative Action. The lie that blacks and Arabs did not enslave and sell those people as slaves ; is as false as the idea White slave owners were almost all helping slaves live a better life. And some American Indian tribes also held black slaves.

At that time Timbuktu University were like Havard University because world would wealth people used to send their kids to Timbuktu.

@Tarek Jabal how wrong you are, but you'll believe only what you want to believe, times have come when the lies are believed instead if the truth.

I served in Gao, Mali . Timbuktu is very close to Gao. Probably he was taught in Timbuktu. He is the descendant of prophet Muhammad. Sayyid is called as Sidi in northern Mali. He remained in his original faith. His dream will come true.

She said * Fouta* a place in between two rivers. We're in 21 century. *Google it* Fouta is in senegal (North-west) Near Mauritania. Omar is from the *peulh-Fouta* tribe. One of the tribe that first embraced Islam via Mauritania. According to history most of the senegal's scholars are from the part of senegal (tribe) I.e Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba, El Adji Omar *Foutiyou* Tall, Maba Diahou Ba etc..( who lived almost at the same century), Highly educated Muslim scholars who have written so many books in Arabic science and literature. Until now, they are using the same hand writting. As a Senegalese, I learnt the Quran on *wooden tablet* (Alliwu) in which , we used to write the Quran verses in the same way..

Anyone knows the name of the man playing Omer Voice?

In 1980 when I was going to public school in the 5th grade in Virginia, the first slave holding state we were told the truth about slavery. That we Black people along with some whites came over here to America as indentured servants not slaves. (That means they were educated they could read and write) And we were also taught the rich greedy corporation owners were the ones who came up with slavery and racism as a way to divide the workers against each other. Not much has changed in 400 years.You can see this in a history channel show called "Slavery And The Making Of America"

Allegedly, Alex Haley plagiarized much of Harold Courlander's book, 'The African', which was written 9 years before Roots. Haley was sued, but agreed to settle out of court for a non-disclosed sum in 1978. It's amazing that more black people don't know this. Also, a black female Author, teacher and award-winning poet Margaret Walker Alexander, sued Haley as well. She claimed he stole from her novel 'Jubilee.' It sounds as though her book was about 'Queen', the interracial daughter of a slave master who passed for white. On another note, what are your thoughts on Sophia Stewart (The Matrix)?

@@MimiKeel To me it's actually not about Alex Haley or whether his book was the product of plagiarism. It's about the skepticism with which the storyline was met, especially the claims that it was unlikely that a first generation slave could already have had a religion (other than animism) and a name of his own and that he (or she) may have tried to (secretly) preserve both. And that is exactly what I commend Alex Haley for: his efforts led to a book and miniseries that presented two important messages to a large audience. First: that the history of African-Americans does not start in America or with slavery, but in Africa. Second: that each individual slave had a (his)story of his own: a family, a village etcetera. The story of Omar ibn Said proves to these sceptics (of Alex Haley's book), that even if Roots may have been a fictional story, it was/is a very realistic one. So in that sense, the story of Omar Ibn Said gives Roots an added seal of truth (if that is an existing expression). I didn't know about Courlander, but I'm not an American and I've never been to the US, so I can't say I have the same cultural experience. I also know too little about the Sophia Stewart case to comment on it. What is your view on her?

Crazy how these people aren't wearing gloves while handling these precious documents...

They never say why Omar Ibn Said converted to Christianity.

Sorry but I would like to hear the translation by someone other then the descendants of the enslavers.

It is infuriating when reporters or narrators say "salves or their masters". As if they didn't have a name. Those people had homes, business, and wealth. And very will educated more than Europe and united stated in that time. Europe were living in dark ages. And united state wants to build country on a man stolen from his own home to Europe transfered to the US. Those people should be called thugs not masters. The majorty of Africans were highly educated muslims just like Omar Ibn said, but these thugs wanted to erase their cultured and religion. Those thugs were so sick in the head they had them change their name because it was a threat to them.With great sadness those thugs succeeded erasing their true religion and culture. Shame on us racism still exists.

If you are not in fear of man or woman, it makes absolutely no sense to slave that man or woman. If you are terrified and in fear of a particular man or woman, then you could see how an imperfect human being can resort to slaving someone. It all comes down to fear.

Hes not the only one there have been both Muslim and jews who wrote about being taken but none of them mentioned African selling Africans.

In my humble opinion, the Quran needs to be reinterpreted according to the times we live in, which is something it itself calls for. Furthermore, it says that only it has the right to speak for Islam. Hence the fictionary works of the Hadith (stories about Muhammed) and the Shariah (Islamic law), which undoubtedly is the source of all the trouble across the Muslim world, needs to be abolished.

@@MohamedMohamed-wi5vu not even THE ONE? :) lol ok pun intended. Anyway what's with the attitude? Yes I am Muslim (half Muslim and half Christian) and no, it's not my opinion, it's the word of God that forbids us from following anything other than the Quran in a religious context. Why do you think Muhammed (pbuh) forbid us from depicting him? It was so that we wouldn't start idolize him like Christians idolize Jesus instead of God. Yet here we are referring to the Hadith more than we do the Quran. And who are you to speak on behalf of 1,8 billion Muslims anyway. Also saying that a person's opinion doesn't matter just because he or she isn't Muslim is also a violation of the Quran in the verse that tells us to respect Jews and Christians aka. the People of the Book. Peace!

Islam gives the men or women the right to their fathers name , it should never be changed, it signifies their place on earth without that men and woman are like leaves in the air that's why Muslim women have the right to keep their fathers name even after married, so even if she stays married or divorced or choose to be single her dignity of who she is before after marriage or during marriage she's retains dignity.. similarly a woman meant to stand next to men not behind men as we are equal insight of Allah.

He said he is from Fuuta, which is a region along the Senégal River. The place he descibes, between two rivers is in fact where my village is located. I grew up the son of an African American mother and a Senégalese Father from Fuuta. Our village is called Thioubalel. I had the great fortune to visit this place of great Agricultural wealth, political organization and Erudition. My grandfather used Arabic characters to write in Pulaar to other religious leaders. In fact the Almamyat of Fuuta Tooro was formed to prevent slavers from taking its citizens. Anyone with the ability to recite verses from the Koran would be protected from the invaders. This story is very touching to me.

I am an American. All countries and regions have atrocities. Some more than others. I am German and Native American, I get called devil and other things when I post... it hurts. I can't be blamed for what ethic/race I come from. Not all "whites" are bad. I am so happy to watch this, education of the truth sets us free, we do not need to be enslaved my falsehoods anymore.

Futa is still there in Senegambia and the most saddest thing about most slavery stories is full of lies because Africans do not sell their own people instead the white decided it and came to conquer us, done what ever they wanted. But there was never a tribal warfare in cause of slavery because Africans where not in contact with the outside world.

Well it's very hard to swallow some certain truth, but in Omar ibn said case their land was attacked by large white army. He was sold by the army to the slave owners. Going back to history not only Africa but the world history, there was a tribal warfare going on across the globe. When tribes wage war against other tribe and if war prisoners are captured they are considered to be slaves until when their tribesmen will freed them by ransom. This was how it is across the globe. In many part of the world mostly Arab world, tribes signs alliance and friendship to protect each other from attacks. Unfortunately it was different in Africa. Tribes were not building that kind of friendship and alliance except in Ethiopia that's why Ethiopia was not conquered or colonized. When the white people understood that there's no friendship and alliance between African tribes they of course used the strategy to divide us which led to their massive success in conquering and enslaving us. This obviously cannot be denied that when one tribe conquered another tribe and captured war prisoners they sold them to the white people. If Africans responded with friendship and alliances like Ethiopia or the Arab world it would have been a different story. Surely there were serious resistance from tribes across the continent but so unfortunate there were no alliance.

Where she got impression.about tribal.war?

Human trafficking is still operating . That makes him a prisoner of war.

Many slaves arrived as Jew, Christian and Muslim. Some were children of kings. they came from all over Africa because there’s no such thing as Middle East to God. America has a very gruesome and horrific history. Therefore their sin has matured in just 200 years . God’s judgement is already on America because the sin of humanity has reached the highest heaven. It is very sad that today’s American glorified the forefathers instead of repentance in sackcloth. Repent America!

See our Muslim civilization in Africa before Europe knew about civilization. Mali (officially Republic of Mali) Present-day Mali was once part of three West African empires that controlled trans-Saharan trade: the Ghana Empire , the Mali Empire , and the Songhai Empire. During its golden age, there was a flourishing of mathematics, astronomy, literature, and art. At its peak in 1300, the Mali Empire covered an area about twice the size of modern-day France and stretched to the west coast of Africa. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oaOtstOxdtKYh5s.html
