No the quote is from the Arab scholar. 2. Ibn Haldoun, Al-Muqaddim, Prolegomènes (1857). Haldoun's work are available at Amazon in Arabic, which I suspect you might be able to read and translate yourself. Gazunki quotes Haldoun for that quote, not Gustav Nachtigal which is the first footnote. I have the damn paper in front of me and regarding the lower humanity of the sub-Saharan African, that quote was attribute to Ibn Haldoun. Do you not understand English?
So are you saying I am lying? or are you saying Gazunki made it up? Is that what you are saying. God God almighty man. I will admit that I have now been here almost 3 years, I have had disagreements with some folks yes (including some who are from modern Italy, i.e. Nord Italia), I have had disagreements with some Northern Euros who hold to the Steppe Hypotheses so dogmatically that the new Southern Arc papers can't be valid. Still, I would like to think I could sit down with a plate of pasta and wine, or Hamburger and Beer with most folks here and find we can get along well.
You on the other hand, I have to say, I don't think I could stand be at the same table with you. You actually make me want to curse in every Italian word my grandfather taught me and then turn around and do the same thing in English for full effect.
Sry, i thought your quote about systematic castration of african males was based on quotes of Ibn Haldoun. The quote about them beeing lesser humans is indeed from Ibn Haldoun, i didn't try to question that.
The thing about systematic castration is from Gazunki himself. And to me it is clear there was also systematic castration of non-africans. At least as long as there was a steady supply of such slaves for example from eastern slavic lands.
I have already given you a quote about slavs beeing seen as too dumb for work unless they are castrated. The existance of industries in europe aimed at creating eunuchs for the arab slave trade. You seem to dismiss that too.
