Thread Name: BS: Britain's shame of slave trade.
Subject: RE: BS: Britain's shame of slave trade.
I see how this has now translated from "Britain's Shame" to "England's Shame" in the mind of Mohammed Smith. How did that come about Mohammed? And in his interpretation of the figures supplied Mohammed seems to think that England was the only country involved in the trans-Atlantic trade. Where did that idea come into your head Mohammed? because that is not strictly true is it Mohammed? The Spaniards, Portuguese, French, Dutch and the Americans were also involved in the trade.

From the song "Blow, Boys, Blow"

Was you ever on the Congo River
Blow, boys, blow
Black fever makes the white man shiver
Blow, me bully boys, blow

A Yankee Ship Came down the river
Blow, boys, blow
Her masts and yards they shone like silver
Blow me bully boys blow

Now what do you think she had for cargo
Blow, boys, blow
Loaded with black sheep to run the embargo
Blow me bully boys blow"

One thing is for certain Mohammed, neither England, nor Britain was solely responsible for the trans-Atlantic Slave Trade - Fact, learn to live with it. My view is that Britains sole efforts to erradicate the trade and to outlaw slavery internationally against some pretty stiff opposition wipes our slate clean.

Doesn't matter how much you twist and turn the following remains true:

"..the greatest slavers in Africa were, and still are, the Arabs/Muslims"

They did it for longer, they captured and sold more slaves than anyone else, and they are still doing it today, now how about us reading something by yourself where we see you demanding that this trade be stopped by those who are actually still practicing it. One things for certain Mohammed - It ain't England.
