Racism is a Human Right – PA

Racism is a Human Right – PA: during Thomas Paine’s time the European powers (and USA) still had a huge problem with the piracy and white slave-taking of both the Ottomans and the Barbary States (like Tripoli). The Barbary States were able to extract $$ tribute from European countries up until about 1810, in return for safe passage for their ships. It is estimated that Muslim slavers or raiders may have taken up to 1 million Western and Southern Europeans captive over the centuries, mainly selling them in slave markets in Instanbul or Cairo.

The Ottomans themselves were able to mount successful invasions of central Europe even until the late 17th century. They besieged Vienna as late as 1671.

I think that alt-right blogger “Gates of Vienna” talks a lot about this sort of stuff.
