Abdul El-Sayed, Trail Of Tears And Arab And Ottoman Atrocities

 The senatorial candidate from Michigan calls out atrocities from America's past, including the trail of tears. 

There is the continued deflection, denial and refusal to acknowledge the long history of atrocities committed by Arabs and Ottomans, and limit the discussion.

There is silence about the long history of Arab and Ottoman slavery, some of which continues to this day. There is silence about the castrating of African slaves. Silence about the violent expansion and destruction of native peoples, religions and cultures. 

This is not just things of the past. The recent history of genocide against Yazidis, atrocities against middle east Christians, Druze and other religious minorities, Christians of North Nigeria, Arab militia genocide against native black Muslims in the Sudan, Hamas mass murder, sexual abuse and other atrocities inside of Israel that started a war, IRGC mass murder inside of Iran, child marriage, murder of so called infidels, persecution of religious minorities inside of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran and elsewhere, and far more. All of which reflects the same cruelty and intolerance that only gets called out if it suits certain political or religious narratives.

There are many trails of tears, past and present. The eagerness to murder in order to spread religious or political beliefs by the sword ensures there will be many more trails of tears.
