You’re badly in need of one of those little plastic bottles of iced coffee which advertises itself for times "When your place is all over the head”
You accuse me of << introducing diversions…[like] slavery>>
Let me remind you that, slavery came into it in answer to your challenge:
<< you [can] search in Muslim history of a thousand years [and not find anything comparable to the bloodshed of Western history]>>
Slavery came into it, because slavery along with forced conversion was the driving force of Islamic campaigns in Africa.
You waffle-on giving me a halal history of slavery.
Since you have made it a point of contention : The biggest and the most long lasting slave trade in history was not the much publicized Atlantic/Americas slave trade but the Ottoman-Arab slave trade. I’m not surprised you are blissfully ignorant of it –I’ll bet you they don’t teach it at the local Islamic school!
If you are open to << Conclusive historic evidence>> for starters, Google:
1) The date slavery was *officially* abolished in (that guardian of the holy shrines) Saudi Arabic
2) And while you’re at it research the great slave rebellions in the Arab world
Same goes for your knowledge of the subcontinents history.
You say: << Mughal kings, like their counterparts in other societies, were only interested in land and subjects>> LOL
The Hindu holocaust at the hands of Islamic invaders started long before the Mughal’s
(the Mughals appear to be the full extent of your very sketchy knowledge of subcontinental history ! )
And again, I absolve you, because they would not teach that at the local Islamic school, or in any school in Pakistan either!--much to India's chagrin.
