  • Pictures of naked slave girls
    : The book specifically mentions the right hand possession and how to photograph slave girls and their purposes. Sometimes it was political and sometimes because of the fame of protecting Arab women, which created an obsession among Europeans. For example, these photographs and paintings that ignorant atheists always use of pictures of naked slave girls in the market. There is no need to remind you how many times we responded to them. As the book mentions, these paintings are inspired by the imagination of French and British painters and do not reflect reality. Rather, it mentions that the slave girls were veiled and in some cases, niqab-covered, and no one could see them except the buyer by looking at her face and removing the veil. The two famous black and white pictures of the French painter Jean Gerome , as the book mentions their falsity, and as Dr. Joan Del Plato mentions :
    It is unlikely that female slaves would have been examined naked, at least according to the traditions of the 19th-century Cairo market. A potential male buyer could only examine the hands and feet of the slave woman. The objective/scientific stance assumed in Jerome and Fayed’s slave market photographs can be questioned.

This was mentioned earlier in the travels of Orientalists who came to see the fantasies of naked Eastern women, but the veil thwarted their wish, as Chastain Johnston mentions. But the common thing here is that both books mention that covering Arab women’s bodies with the veil aroused European men and made them eager to see Arab nudity, and these paintings were in great demand in the West to simulate their desire. However, despite this, Westerners did not rise to the level of distorting the facts through their pornographic obsession, and until recently, Europeans continued to promote nudity among Arabs out of their need for repression, such as the video “The Slaves Still Exist” (Le Schiave Esistono Ancora), which was filmed in Saudi Arabia in 1964 and showed a topless black slave girl in the market. It appeared to be a Mondo video, pre-arranged by the photographer to excite Western viewers and consolidate the nudity associated with slave girls, which they continued to establish as a custom among them, as Gerard Gucheteau mentions.

We must remember that the materiality of this image should not fool us into believing that these women actually existed—rather, we should view them as the embodiment of a “virtual ethnicity” belonging to the Orientalist imagination.

You see this tweet in which I quote photos of topless girls. These photos were taken in 1903 in Tunisia. These photographs are circulating all over Facebook and other social media sites, knowing that Tunisia was one of the first countries to abolish slavery, even before America and France. This was in 1846, sixty years before these widely circulated photos were taken. How can they say that these are photos of concubines or a slave market?

To simplify further, these photos were later taken by orientalists and pornographers and exported to the West, and they did not mention that they were photos of concubines or female slaves.

The campaigns to sell these photos came after Orientalists exploited families in poor neighborhoods and gave them money in exchange for photographing them in this scandalous way. These indecent photos were photographed and sold in their magazines in a hideous manner that one would find objectionable.

The orientalist Chatelain Marcel, the photographer who took these pictures, did not mention that they were of concubines, but rather said that they were pictures of prostitutes or dancers. A feminist website published an angry report about the exploitation of poor families by orientalists such as Landrock, Lennert, and Chatelain Marcel through indecent photography of women. They gave poor families sums of money in exchange for taking indecent photographs of their girls in exchange for some money in a mansion rented by Landrock . You can find this report here on the French website , which talks about the details of the incident.

Lehnert & Landrock : Fortune sur l’exploitation de femmes indigènes

” Les Trois Grâces ” de Lehnert et Landrock, une oeuvre photographique ” orientale ” vue sous le prisme d’une grille de lecture féministe, antiraciste, et historique.

Most of these photos were taken in the same palace owned by photographer Landrock , as confirmed by Nicole Canet , who collected these photos in a book called “Finding Chatelain Again,” to determine the location of the photography and show that the palace in which these photos were taken is owned or rented by her colleague in the photography profession, Landrock. The photos here are of some Jews originally wearing Arab clothing because they lived among Arabs, and they are not pictures of Muslims.

But there is a Documentary Video of a Topless Slave Girl

There is a video filmed in 1964 AD of the slave trade in Saudi Arabia, in which a topless woman appears in the slave market. It is a famous video on the Internet that is widely circulated. This is the video in the picture that we are referring to, and you can quickly watch it from here.

D8A7D984D988D8ABD8A7D8A6D982D98A20D8A7D984 e8133180dce7d59b

In fact, this documentary is an Italian film shot in 1964 in Saudi Arabia. Its real name is: Le Schiave Esistono Ancoca , directed by Malino Malinotti and Folco Chiesi. It is enough for me to tell the reader that it is a Mondo film. If you do not know what the term Mondo means , we will let the political scientist Dr. Steve Essomba, in his book “Africa: The Origin and Source of Beings,” explain to you a little about this documentary and who filmed it in the picture of the following book. You can open the picture.

PicsArt D9A1D9A0 D9A2D9A2 D9A0D9A8 5b497ff9093876a1

Steve says that Mondo Documentary is an exploitative documentary that resembles a fake documentary that usually depicts fabricated sensational subjects, scenes, or situations. Common features of Mondo films include focusing on taboo subjects such as death and sex, and the counter-portrayal of foreign cultures with staged sequences that are presented as real documentary footage. The Mondo filming style began in Italy in 1962 by prominent directors such as: Then he mentioned a number of directors who were making documentaries and Mondo films that contained fake footage and fake staged footage. He mentioned director [Malino Malinotti] + director [Folco Calici] , and these are the documentary directors who filmed this documentary in Saudi Arabia. He then said: Mondo documentaries have a bad reputation. He mentioned the documentary [Le Schiave Esistono Ancora]. Now look at the fraud and deception. This video, which was filmed in Saudi Arabia in 1964, in which a topless woman appears in a slave market, was prepared with prior agreement by the well-known director Malino with Folco, and they were exposed six years later, to the point that an Italian website For documentaries and films, after publishing this documentary, he deleted it from the platform, then warned and wrote Mondo , meaning it contains fake theatrical footage, and in the comment below the video he said: This video is in the context of a theatrical scene. You can view this site from here.

  • The testimony of Orientalists is sufficient.
    If you search the writings of travelers and orientalists who seriously studied slavery in the East, you will not find any mention of them seeing or saying anything about female slaves being stripped naked in markets or on the streets. Did they overlook this point?
    We hope that Khaled Montaser will find us a single orientalist who said, “I saw the Arabs parading their slaves naked.” Indeed, orientalists wrote the exact opposite of this. Chastain Johnston, a history professor at the University of Florida, speaking about the orientalist missions that went to the East, says: “Orientalists traveled to the East to look at the fantasies of naked oriental women and they did not find any woman who did not wear the veil there, not even slave girls. This was disappointing to them, to the point that the poet Nathaniel Parker Willis, when he went to the East, spied on houses after he was disappointed that he did not see any woman without a veil. While spying on houses looking for unveiled women, he saw a beautiful slave girl behind the door and said, ‘Damn the Ottomans, they alone possess this beauty and hide it.’” These orientalist missions, if they found naked women in the markets, as the secularists tell us, would they not write about it? Or narrate it in their travelogues? Why didn’t they write this, when they originally went to see the fantasies of the naked oriental woman that painters depicted? And why were they disappointed, as Chastain Johnston says?

After the veil frustrated the Orientalists’ fantasies about the Eastern woman, artists depicted their sexual fantasies about the naked Eastern woman in nude paintings and photographs, as Johnston says. Any cartoon or painting in which you encounter an Arab man selling a naked slave girl, know that these paintings were drawn by these travelers because they were unable to see Muslim women without the veil, or as Johnston says, they were disappointed because the veil spoiled these sexual fantasies for them, but the artists made this possible for them through their nude paintings.

All that we have received in this regard are the imaginary drawings that were presented by artists, so there is no evidence to support them, and photographs of the shots were prepared by “Chatlain Marcel” as we mentioned previously, and Chatlain did not mention that these imaginary pictures were of concubines or slaves, but rather all that he mentioned were the pictures of prostitutes and dancers, and they did not mention the concubines or slaves at all. Perhaps these European fantasies that were sent to the East through obsessive travels stuck in the imagination of the directors Malino and Volkow, and they produced that documentary in Saudi Arabia, where some areas in the Western world, such as the United States in Virginia, and some areas of Italy, France, and others, displayed naked black concubines to advertise their sexual ability to reproduce, and perhaps this is what made the director Malino fall into this mistake and show a naked black concubine in his filming of that documentary in Saudi Arabia, thinking that it was an ordinary shot that you might find in Mecca, as you might find it in all the alleys of Virginia.

Sexual Exploitation of the Enslaved - Encyclopedia Virginia

Sexual Violence and the Enslaved As it was elsewhere, sexual violence was a ubiquitous component of enslavement throughout the history of slavery in Virginia. Enslavers exercised almost complete control over the bodies of enslaved individuals and the conditions of their existence, providing themselves with numerous avenues for force and coerc…

Look at all this historical context and how it is being cut short and fictional stories are being created through deception of Islam and their attempt to stick this obsession on the history of Islam. This corrupt imagination is the result of a corrupt understanding of the issue of the female slave’s private parts in Islamic jurisprudence. The jurists’ focus on the issue of private parts was not on the private parts of looking, but rather on the private parts of prayer and her private parts in front of her mahrams.

The Private Parts of a Female Slave in Islamic Jurisprudence

The ‘awrah of a slave girl is like the ‘awrah of a free woman. This is the correct and established principle of the early Muslims, their understanding, and the basic principle as stated by Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Hazm, Ibn al-Qattan, al-Ghazali, and others after their refutations with evidence and tradition. Those who decided that the ‘awrah of a slave girl is from the navel to the knee were discussing the ‘awrah of prayer and her ‘awrah in front of her mahrams, not the ‘awrah of looking. Ibn al-Qayyim pointed this out, saying: ” As for female slaves who are usually kept as chaste women and veiled, where did Allah and His Messenger permit them to uncover their faces in the markets, streets, and public gatherings, and permit men to enjoy looking at them? This is a complete mistake in the Shari’ah. This mistake was confirmed by the fact that some of the jurists heard their saying: The entirety of a free woman is ‘awrah except her face and hands, and the ‘awrah of a slave woman is that which is not usually shown, such as the stomach, back, and legs. So they thought that the ruling on that which is usually shown is the ruling on a man’s face. This applies only to prayer, not to looking at, because the ‘awrah is of two types: ‘awrah when looking at’ and ‘awrah in prayer. A free woman may pray with her face and hands uncovered, but she is not permitted to go out in the markets.” And the gatherings of people are like that . So, know this mistake that comes to mind, and also their saying that her private parts are from the navel to the knee does not mean that they are bare-chested, as we will explain.

Some of them made a mistake by citing a weak hadith on the authority of Amr ibn Shuaib to differentiate between the private parts of a slave woman and the private parts of a free woman. This distinction is not in her private parts when she leaves the house, but rather the distinction was in the matter of the private parts of prayer and not in the private parts of being looked at by a stranger as some malicious people imagine and as Ibn al-Qayyim pointed out previously. Even their quotations from the books of the imams are deliberately truncated and you always find them in the chapter on prayer or her private parts in front of her master. As for her private parts when going out, they all stated that they are like the private parts of a free woman. This is a video in which Othman al-Khamis explains that when the scholars talk about the private parts, they mean the private parts in prayer.

What about Ibn Omar’s Actions and His touching of Female Slaves in the Markets?

#ibn-omars-suspicion-and-sexual-harassment-in-islam-slavery

Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned this in his book and pointed out:

  • Their saying, ” Her private parts are from the navel to the knee, ” does not mean that they go out with their chests bare, and their disagreement was about the private parts of prayer, not about the private parts of looking or going out , as Sheikh Al-Islam pointed out , and some of them made a mistake by citing a weak hadith on the authority of Amr bin Shuaib, then he stated, ” Because the basic principle is that the private parts of a female slave are like the private parts of a free woman. ”
