So why the slur against AFD? Islam hasn't changed in 1400 years - there were ISIS slave markets just 10 years ago that weren't much different from the ones depicted in the paintings. Europe is well on its way to becoming Eurabia, and it's not racist to say so. It's Islamic culture that's the problem, regardless of the race of the Muslims.
Surprised that you see it as a slur against the AfD. Racial stereotyping is still racial stereotyping no matter which side in a dispute uses it or how sympathetic or antipathetic an author may be to the AfD's message. The chapter, and the series as a whole, is not about the influx of mostly Muslim migrants and the problems they bring to Germany and the EU. It's about how Western artists, photographers, and writers have shaped our notions of Islam through depictions of the exotic and erotic. Sex slavery has been central to Islam since its inception and also figures in the Bible. Not to mention some 9,000 "massage" parlours across the USA that employ mostly trafficked women and girls. Yes, Islamic culture is a huge problem. If the West wants to deal with people trafficking, it needs to address the source which, as you point out, has not changed in 1400 years.
BTW…I don’t believe our impressions of Islam have been shaped by artist depictions of Arab slave markets. Our impressions of Islam come from the 47,000 different terrorist incidents since 9/11. I doubt many Americans have ever seen an Arab sex slave market painting.
Good point. Well, they can see the paintings in my series, and the late Christopher Hitchens had a lot to say about the history of white slave trafficking which isn't taught in schools. Perhaps that explains Queers for Palestine? Or have the inmates simply taken over the asylum?
I read it as a slur against the AfD because you linked it to Hitler. Islam allows slavery. Tacitly or legally. If Europe becomes an Islamic vassal state European women are at risk. From every Islamic male? No. But it doesn’t have to be from every male to be a society changing problem.
Every first nation in Canada is not an alcoholic. But alcoholism defines or is a central characteristic of Canadian FNs. So is rape with Islam.
Your quotes were correct re Judaism but missed other biblical dictums creating strong constraints on the treatment of slaves including female minors who had to be released with money if they weren’t going to be married. Slave treatment and captivity and trading were vastly different between Judaism and Christianity and Islam.
I’m not “James F. Lavin” but here’s some stuff I found:
God’s Law stated that kidnapping and selling a human was punishable by death. Furthermore, God provided guidelines to protect slaves. For example, a slave who was maimed by his master would be set free. If a slave died because his master beat him, the master could be punished with death. Women captives could become slaves, or they could be taken as wives. But they were not to be used for mere sexual gratification. The gist of the Law must have led righthearted Israelites to treat slaves with respect and kindness, as if these were hired laborers.
Exodus 20:10 ~ “but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God. You must not do any work, neither you nor your son nor your daughter nor your slave man nor your slave girl nor your domestic animal nor your foreign resident who is inside your settlements.”
Exodus 21:12 ~ “Anyone who strikes a man so that he dies must be put to death.”
Exodus 21:16 ~ ““If anyone kidnaps a man and sells him or is caught holding him, he must be put to death.”
Exodus 21:26,27 ~ ““If a man strikes the eye of his slave man or the eye of his slave girl and he destroys it, he is to let the slave go free in compensation for his eye. 27 And if he knocks out the tooth of his slave man or of his slave girl, he is to let the slave go free in compensation for his tooth.”
Leviticus 22:10,11 ~ “10 “‘No unauthorized person may eat anything holy. No foreign guest of a priest or hired worker may eat anything holy. 11 But if a priest should purchase someone with his own money, that person may share in eating it. Slaves born in his house may also share in eating his food.”
Deuteronomy 21:10-14
“If you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God defeats them for you and you take them captive, 11 and you see among the captives a beautiful woman and you are attracted to her and you want to take her as your wife, 12 you may bring her into your house. She should then shave her head, attend to her nails, 13 and remove the clothing of her captivity, and dwell in your house. She will weep for her father and her mother a whole month, and afterward you may have relations with her; you will become her husband and she will become your wife. 14 But if you are not pleased with her, you should then let her go wherever she wishes. But you may not sell her for money or treat her harshly, since you have humiliated her.” (So in other words, if a man had sex with her and had taken away her virginity, she was to from then on become a free woman, as a divorcee or as a wife)
Some Jews voluntarily became slaves to their fellow Jews in order to repay debts. This practice protected people from starvation and actually allowed many to recover from poverty. Furthermore, at key junctures in the Jewish calendar, slaves were to be released if they so desired.a (Exodus 21:2; Leviticus 25:10; Deuteronomy 15:12) Commenting on these laws regarding slaves, Jewish scholar Moses Mielziner stated that a “slave could never cease to be a man, he was looked upon as a person possessing certain natural human rights, with which the master even could not with impunity interfere.” What a stark contrast to the abusive systems of slavery that mar the annals of history!
Exodus 21:2-11 ~ “If you buy a Hebrew slave, he will serve as a slave for six years, but in the seventh year, he will be set free without paying anything. 3 If he came by himself, he will go out by himself. If he is the husband of a wife, then his wife must go out with him. 4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children will become her master’s, and he will go out by himself. 5 But if the slave should insist and say, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my sons; I do not want to be set free,’ 6 his master must bring him before the true God. Then he will bring him up against the door or the doorpost, and his master will pierce his ear through with an awl, and he will be his slave for life.
7 “If a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not go free the same way that a slave man does. 8 If her master is not pleased with her and he does not designate her as a concubine but causes her to be purchased by someone else, he will not be entitled to sell her to foreigners, for he has betrayed her. 9 If he selects her for his son, he is to grant her the rights of a daughter. 10 If he takes another wife for himself, the sustenance, the clothing, and the marriage due of the first wife are not to be diminished. 11 If he will not render these three things to her, then she is to go free without paying any money.”
Leviticus 25:10 ~ “10 You must sanctify the 50th year and proclaim liberty in the land to all its inhabitants. It will become a Jubilee for you, and each of you will return to his property and each of you should return to his family.”
Deuteronomy 15:12-18 ~ ““If one of your brothers, a Hebrew man or woman, is sold to you and has served you for six years, then in the seventh year you should set him free.+ 13 And if you should set him free, do not send him away empty-handed. 14 You should supply him generously with something from your flock, your threshing floor, and your press for oil and wine. Just as the LORD your God has blessed you, you should give to him. 15 Remember that you became a slave in the land of Egypt and that the LORD your God redeemed you. That is why I am commanding you to do this today.
16 “But if he says to you, ‘I will not go out from your company!’ because he loves you and your household, since he has been happy while with you, 17 you should then take an awl and put it through his ear into the door, and he will become your slave for life. You should do the same with your slave girl. 18 Do not consider it a hardship when you set him free and he leaves you, because his service to you for six years was worth twice as much as that of a hired worker, and Jehovah your God has blessed you in everything that was done.”
The fact that provision was made to allow some to remain with their master clearly indicates that Israelite slavery was not abusive, or was not intended to be.
I recommend looking at the entire chapter of any of the Bible verses cited, for context and even more information:
This is an excellent brief on Islamic skave trading. It is unlikely that many activists supporting their views of oppressors - oppressed would be prepared to see that the historical facts are quite orthogonal to their views.

Inmates, Asylum.

I was under the impression Islam is not a race, rather it's a religion spanning the entire world.
No, Islam is not a race. It's a totalitarian system of governance disguised as religion.

Thanks for the update. Can you cite the relevant chapters and verse? Will take these comments into consideration and revise. Much appreciated!

Can we sell the rabid feminists to the Moslem slavers to educate them that the West is not so bad?
C'est plutôt la sexualité des sionistes. Il n'y a pas de sexualité en Islam banane
