Well, there were three or more Muslim slave trades of Black ppl through the deserts(Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia and West Africa) and Zanzibar Island as well.
1) The Ottomans(Turkish Muslims) owned Black slaves and even brought them to Turkey from ancient Sudan.
2) Arab Muslims owned Black slaves in Egypt, North Africa and the Middle-east,... brought them to Oman, Yemen, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar etc etc..
3) White skinned Berbers of North Africa also owned Black slaves in parts of Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco, brought them from ancient Sudan, places known today as Ghana, Senegal, Mali.
Speaking of Farrakhan I agree with you, I believe when he criticises the Jews he certainly aims at the aipac, zionists and Israel.
Hey man, Min Farrakhan doesn't play, if you attack him he will return the attack!
But you are correct, by using "Jews" he leaves himself open to charges of antisemitism - its too general..
And especially for me its not good strategy since many of my intellectual heroes, activists and revolutionaries were/are Jewish.
Yet on the other hand, most of his criticisms aimed at the major Jewish organizations, the Hollywood/entertainment industry, and especially American Zionists, are spot on and deserved.
Big props to Min Farrakhan for embracing Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian cause.
Btw, are you conflating the Arab slave trade and the "Palestinian slave trade"?
