"Saqaliba", white European slaves were mostly of Slavic origin and considered luxury imports....

Slavery is a word well understood, but in the minds of most people, it is associated with the black slave trade from Africa to America across the Atlantic. Many people are not aware that a parallel form of slavery existed in the kidnapping of white men and women by North Africans and Arabs. The purpose of these captures was slavery. Another aspect of this slavery was white women (preferably virgins) to populate the harems of the Arab Sheikhs and Beys. The Arabs and the Moors were the foremost exponents of this trade as they had a penchant for fair and golden-haired white girls. This trade lasted much longer than the black slave trade and overshot it by hundreds of years.

The black trade was stopped by an act of legislation. This did not happen in the case of the white slave trade which ended only after the Arabs and Moors were militarily crushed by the European powers.

The onset of white slave trade began when the Muslim arms conquered almost the entire North Africa and Spain. It was at its zenith when the Mediterranean Sea almost became a Muslim controlled lake with the Ottoman Empire at its zenith. Even after the defeat of the Muslims, the slave trade was taken over by Muslim pirates called the Corsairs.

The Corsairs were a daredevil lot and scoured the entire Mediterranean Sea. They also raided the coastal villages of Europe and kidnapped white girls. These girls have spirited away to the harems of the Arabs and sold at auctions where they earned a high price for the kidnapper.

White men were also kidnapped for ransom and to work as slaves. There are reports that King Richard the lion heart was also kidnapped and released when a large ransom was paid for him. As far as the kidnapping of girls from the European coastal villages is concerned, the effect was one of fear and many villages shifted deeper away from the coast, to escape from the marauding Muslim pirates.

Later the Muslim pirates started a preference for Slav girls who were fair and had golden hair. Raiding parties roamed the Baltic and the Aegean Sea for these girls.

The magnitude of the slavery can only be estimated as no exact figures are available. Generally, it is estimated that the figure would be over a million. The Corsairs were the main exponents of this white slave trade and they also extracted a levy from the ships that sailed the Mediterranean Sea. In the period after 1609 in a span of a decade, almost 400 British ships were captured and the men made slaves and released only after a ransom was paid. Other who could not pay languished in Arab farms as workers and slaves till death.

Later Britain paid a tribute and their ships were spared. But nations and settlements close to the sea in SE Europe and the Slav areas bore the brunt of this slavery.

A fact that has now emerged is the massive kidnapping and abduction of white girls as slaves for the harems of the Arabs. This menace lasted for hundreds of years and it continued until the 19th century. In 1814 the European powers signed a convention to outlaw the attacks of the Berbers and the Ottoman Turks.

The Christian nations now asserted and the rising White power inflicted heavy defeats on the Corsairs and the Turks. This rising European power led to the demise of the white slave trade. A point worth noting is that the slave trade in white women only stopped after the defeat of the Turks and Muslims and not by any act or edict.

@TristinHopper While their parents - the Great Generation - knew two global wars (separated by the Great Depression), multiple regional wars, the Cold War, radicalism, domestic terrorism…

Perhaps there’s something to the Fourth Turning after all.

I’m waiting for the Sioux to return the land they stole from the Crow, Cheyenne, Kiowa, Pawnee, and Arapaho.

I'd say most Canadians are not aware that ...

A. The government forcibly rations healthcare and LIMITS the number of doctors being trained.
B. We are the ONLY Western country to do this. France, Australia the UK; all of them have a private system coexisting with a public system.

A Canada Day celebration in NE Calgary turned out to be a nightmare for a Canadian woman and her daughters. No one listened or helped her! So disgusting and painful to watch! 🤬

More videos of Indian invaders recklessly firing off rifles keep emerging and the summer just started.

It wasn’t hard to predict we would see more of this when last year’s incidents went unpunished.

Immigration from all countries where they are more likely to commit crime should cease. Totally.

It’s simple risk management. They’re not needed.

This is the moment she has stated that Russia is too big and needs to be broken up. She personally hates Russians, not much different from Zelensky. She represents why there can NEVER be any peace with Russia as long as she is in power.

[Tristin Hopper @TristinHopper]

One more note on this. The prime minister of Canada is boasting about a new mine providing 1,000 "career opportunities." Guess how many immigrants his government accepts every 24 hours? At this year's annual target of 380,000, it's about 1,041 per day.

[The British Patriot @TheBritLad]

So, just to make sure I've got this right...

I can punch and break a female police officer nose on camera, and get away with it.

But if I write a few words on the internet I can go to prison for over 2 years.

Got it.

@yegwave The US negotiates with the PRC as (at minimum) an equal; Canada does so as a voluntary serf.

[Martin A. Armstrong @ArmstrongEcon]

Centralized governments inevitably lead toward core Marxism. Taxation and regulation rise and become the seed of corruption. In Canada, regional economic differences are exactly why centralized governments always overstep their authority. Alberta's separation is INEVITABLE.

[Wisdom’s Legacy @SellingWisdom]

Given Canada’s national youth unemployment rate of >14%, it’s curious how @krispykreme employs recent immigrants, exclusively.

Perhaps Dunkin Doughnuts will manifest some compassion for Canadian youth; can’t wait to find out!

The Edmonton Police Service is warning the public after six men were charged in connection with a coordinated scheme to defraud private vehicle sellers across Alberta, with some suspects still wanted on province-wide warrants.

Following a search warrant at a south Edmonton residence in October 2025, investigators seized nine vehicles and identified at least 13 victims. Police say the group operated in teams of two or three, secretly tampering with vehicles during test inspections and then pointing to fabricated mechanical issues, such as head gasket damage or engine oil leaks, to pressure sellers into lowering their asking prices. Suspects reportedly argued with sellers for up to two hours before finalizing fraudulent deals. The vehicles were then re-registered using forged documents, including falsified odometer readings, and used in further offences. The operation covered Edmonton, Calgary, Sherwood Park, Leduc, and Thorsby.

Constantin Dumitru, 26, Tiberius Grigore, 34, Cosmin Mustata, 26, Remus Rafaila, 32, Orlando Turcan, 24, and Florin Constantin, 39, collectively face 33 charges including mischief over $5,000, fraud over $5,000, and uttering a forged document. EPS has released photos of the outstanding suspects.
