When a Muslim King Ordered all Black Muslims in the country to be Enslaved.

in the 17th century, the King of Morocco, Moulay Ismail, ordered that all black people, Muslim or not, free or not, to be captured and enslaved. Some became apart of his slave army called the Black Guards, also known as Abid Al-Bukhari, because he was obsessed with Bukhari.
:mjcry: :wow:
The Scholars in Morocco were obviously against it but they couldn't do anything about it. He did it because the Arabs and Amazighs weren't trustworthy and tribal and he wanted an army that were loyal to him and wouldn't backstab him. This Sultan dismissed the scholars concerns and claimed that all Black people in Morocco originally came from some slave background, so whether they were free or not did not matter. Morocco had a diverse set of slaves in the country but now Black = Slave.
:kendrickcry:
Fun fact: This Sultan had the highest documented number of children, with 880-1200 children. He had 4 wives and over 500 concubines aka more free people they illegally enslaved, one of his wives was a Black former concubine of his brother, she had the most influence on him and wanted her son to be the next king, but he didn't, so he killed his son.
:ohhh:
Enslaving free people, killing hid children, all for power. Maybe he should've read Bukharis books himself.

That's wrong too and I know all about the Barbary Slave Trade but he explicitly called for all Blacks that were in Morocco to be enslaved. I know his mom was black.

We did the same thing in the 15th century when Axum was invaded, they took all the women and children as slaves and took everything they had. Somalis have no problem perhaps enslaving each other

um, thats different? like there was a war then, but the OP mentions no war taking place before the enslavement of the blacks. Not saying what the somalis did was right, but it happened during a war unlike the Moroccan incident.

I read some sources, apparently he indeed did enslaved free black population, he sought fatwas from sheikhs, of course with threats, many approve, but some did not, these where killed and their houses, property and lands where sold off.

The king came with an excuse where he said that, the enslavement was voluntarily, and he didn't force any free person to be enslaved and enlisted.

Somalis didn't enslave each other that's against our xeer.
We enslaved the Ethiopians we invaded and the bantus from the swahili coast (tanzania) that we bought on their way to Arabia.
