Islam and the diabolic slave trade By M.S.N. Menon
“If all crimes committed from creation down to the present day were added together, they would not exceed, I am sure, the guilt of the diabolic slave trade.”—Lord Palmerston (1844)
And did you know, dear Reader, that this “diabolic slave trade” had the blessings of Christianity and Islam? But this is not the only guilt they carried. And yet they assert that they are superior to Hinduism!
But how can the religion of Jesus Christ be a party to these atrocities? Here is what one of Europe’s foremost historians had to say: “They (Europeans) received the externals (of Christianity), but there they stop. They may baptize their children, they may take the sacrament, they may flock to the church. All these they may do and yet be as far removed from the spirit of Christianity as when they bowed their knees before their former idols.” (History of Medieval and Modern Civilisations by Seignobos.)
In short, Europe was never truly Christianised. This explains why Christian Europe was behind this “diabolic” trade.
