Thomas Sowell estimates that eleven million slaves were shipped across the Atlantic and fourteen million were sent to the Islamic nations of North Africa and the Middle East. [1] David Livingstone estimated that for every slave who reached the plantation, five others died by being killed in the raid or died on the forced march from illness and privation. [2] So, for 25 million slaves delivered to the market, we have the collateral death of about 120 million people. Muslims ran all the wholesale slave trade in Africa. Death toll: 120 million Africans
Christians
The number of Christians martyred by Islam is nine million.[3] A rough estimate by Raphael Moore in History of Asia Minor is that another fifty million died in wars by jihad. So to account for the one million African Christians killed in the 20th century we have: 60 million Christians

Not at all. Not only Islamists, but African black tribes sold black slaves as well. Those seeking reparations should seek out the descendants of the Islamists in the Middle East and the descendants of black tribes in Africa. Whites got a raw deal because they paid for slaves Their descendants should get a refund from the United States government, since the Lincoln Administration abolished slavery. We are dealing with unending criminality as a result of slavery being abolished, and the United States is a much more dangerous place to live.
Java Jive, this is a relevant question, as blacks demand slavery reparations and are still pushing the issue. Will it happen? No. But they won't let the subject drop.

That's why we study history, so we don't repeat its mistakes or continue to live in it.
But suprised, not really; slavery has been around along time.
