Slave

I just buy new non-fiction book from Waterstone, Slave: The True Story of a Girl's Lost Childhood and Her Fight for Survival, written by Mende Nazer and Damien Lewis. Seems like struggled & sadness story of a young girl. Hope i got chance to read it while fly back to Msia in April. Here i copy and do some alteration of the synopsis of the book from back cover page. Im so eager to know the truth of the story, especially the synopsis sounds unbelievable to me (i noted it in orange). But if it really 'happen', should i said; WTF of 'islam order' or 'muslim culture' they following? Read the synopsis below ...



Slave is a shocking first-person insight into the modern day slave trade. It is also a fascinating memoir of an African childhood and a moving testimony to a young girl's indomitable spirit in the face of adversity and shattered dreams. This book is an extraordinary story of a young Sudanese girl who was kidnapped and sold into slavery, and how, in Sept. 2000, she finally escaped to freedom.




That young girl is Mende Nazer, who grew up in the remote area of nuba Mountains of Sudan. Her happy childhood was cruelly cut short when raiders on horseback swept into her village. The Mujahidin hacked down terrified villagers, raped the women and abducted the children. Twelve-year-old Mende was one of them. (They called themselve as MUJAHIDIN, sounds very islamic, but they terrify and ruin other people life, do raping & abducting children for slavery?)



Mende was sold to an Arab woman in Khartoum. (Hah, so everything is about making money-slavery business by kidnapping children). Mende was stripped of her name and her freedom. She was kept as a domestic slave, an 'abid', without any pay or a single day off. Her food was the scraps left over from the family's plates, eaten with separate cutlery, and her bed was the floor of the garden shed, which was locked up each night. She endured this harsh and lonely existence without knowing whether her family was alive or dead, for seven long years. (So, what can i say. It's all about ARAB people again. The Jahiliyah mentality still 'alive' in their blood-they're, apparently, more ISLAMIC than other non-arab, but in reality, majority of them; fully of anger of me, they're RUBBISH and SHIT - what a shame!. This remind me to the reality of arab people customs and cultures, and islam practices among arabs, as written by Albert Hourani in his book - A History of The Arab Peoples).



In the spring of 2000, Mende was passed on by her master, like a parcel, to a relative in London. Eventually, she managed to make contact with other Nuba exiles who, with British journalist and filmmaker Damien Lewis, helped her escape for freedom. (Again and again, the one that always 'helping & saving' most of 'unfortunate' muslim, children or woman, even man, is always non-muslim, who muslim peoples always claim them as 'killer' and of course kafir. But what we do as a muslim, especially arabs? - fuckin shit hah?).



Sorry guys. I dont know why i cant go with arabs anymore. I really feel like they are the one that giving trouble to islam and othet non-arab muslim people with their 'jahilliyah mentality' that our prophet of Muhammad saw try to banish. Arab is Arab, or can i say Arab is Jahilliyah? or to be more polite, apparently, that Arab is STILL Jahilliyah?
