Europæiske kvinders slaveri under islam – i billeder

Middle Eastern Muslims have long targeted European women — so much so as to have enslaved millions of them over the centuries (see Sword and Scimitar for copious documentation). 

As it happens, there is something else — another medium besides writing — that documents this reality: countless more paintings than the one in question concerning the abduction, trafficking, and sexual enslavement of European women, all of which further underscores the ubiquity and notoriety of this phenomenon.  Indeed, this was such a well known theme that many nineteenth- and early twentieth-century artists and painters specialized in it, often based on their own eyewitness accounts.  (As one art gallery puts it, “Many … of the most important painters did travel [to the Muslim world] themselves, and what they painted was based on the sketches they had made while they were there[.])

Below are just 20 such paintings (there are many more).  Aside from noting the artist’s name; year of painting; and, where possible, title—information which is often difficult to ascertain — I’ve limited my remarks to important asides and clarifications, mostly in the first few paintings, leaving the rest to speak for themselves.  They follow.

  1. 1700- og 1800-tallets mænd havde stor appetit på at se på nøgne damer. Casanova havde i øvrigt i hele sin lange historie en enkelt homoseksuel oplevelse – i et harem! Han var blevet inviteret til en kiggetur af en tyrkisk herre til et vindue hvorfra man kunne beskue haremskvinderne i deres afklædthed. Casanova fik selvfølgelig en stivert på over alle disse herligheder, og hans ledsager begyndte derpå at pille ved stiverten. Casanova lod det ske…

  2. Det mest interessante i denne forbindelse er vel om de europæiske kvinder vil lade sig advare af de usle skæbner som tidligere blev kvinderne til del, hvis de faldt i kløerne på muslimerne/islamisterne.
