Don Belgians travelled to the Congo and chopped off some hands.... is that better ? Ce sont les esclavagistes arabes qui coupaient les mains de ceux qu'ils considéraient comme voleurs, conformément au prescrit du Coran. Ce sont les troupes belges qui les ont combattus et vaincus dans l'est du Congo. Les Belges ont recouru au travail forcé, certes, au temps où le Congo appartenait au roi Léopold II, mais l'amputation des mains aurait été à la fois contre-productive, contraire à leurs traditions, à leurs références culturelles, religieuses, légales, et au combat qu'ils avaient mené avec succès contre l'islam esclavagiste. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |
