The world won't miss the passing of the ottoman empire.

@microwaveenthusiast7410 Okay - if you're so easy to wind up here's a question. Who cares about the slavery of Africans in America? It happened countless years ago and doesn't affect nor concern you in any way. It'll be interesting to see if you have the same thing to say about that.

@azizbey4334 Unfortunately there is one essential difference: Islam still has the same ambitions that it has had for hundreds of years: in fact I think Erdegon had (and may still have) ambitions of rebuilding the Ottoman empire. Now of course, I do recognise the distinction between the Muslim religion and islam as a political movement.

@guzz114 Well, as I said to TT53: what if I was to say "The world won't miss the passing of slavery in America". Would you stop by and say "lol yall acting as if all countries in the world wernt doing this lmfao.again the year is 1619."

@microwaveenthusiast7410 So I guess from your silence you suddenly do care about the slave trade from a few hundred years ago, but only when it happened to Africans of course.

@azizbey4334 True.

@microwaveenthusiast7410 My point exactly.

@Trgn The British were one of the worst.

@lisette2060 That's a fair point.

@turcoboshnak Calm down.

@GabrielCosta-xt1dv I agree tbh.

@muhammadedwards8425 I agree: in fact my own home country was at the receiving end of the British empire - and it did a lot of bad things there.

@zz I agree.

@wertyuiopasd6281 There were muslims around before Muhammad.

@onatkorkmaz6749 Don't be so facile - my opinion of the American empire is almost as low as my opinion of the Ottoman empire. I'm also looking forward to the American empire collapsing, too.

@eh4372 I despise all empires.

@kyeraalucy2116 Really? You may want to do some research on what the Ottomans did to the black slaves that they got their hands on - then follow that up with what ISIS is doing right now to captured black Africans in Libya. You'll be shocked - if you do look into either.

@onatkorkmaz6749 P.S. - you might want to do some research on what the Ottomans did to their black captives and slaves.

In fact the slave trade is alive and well in Libya at the moment: after isis took over they started selling slaves on the open market again. Odd how we're not hearing that on mainstream media but its there and it's thriving. Many of those being sold are captive black Africans.

@Zen-rw2fz I know that: I was pointing out that the slave trade is back in Libya.
